Metal panels (as found)

Its weight

The table
91 lb a squareThe sources give 72 to 149 lb.
Loose volume
Not known: it counts in the tons aloneNo source found gives a loose volume for torn-off metal panels; Xactimate removes them by the square foot (RFG MTL) with no disposal yield.
How it was chosen
Gauge is seldom known before the tear-off; 26 gauge, the common residential panel, is the figure: a flat galvanized sheet weighs 0.906 lb a square foot. Ribs and laps add material that no source quantified, so the figure is low; the range runs from 29-gauge flat sheet to a 24-gauge standing seam panel.
