    Powerbilt Overlap

    Competition’s Panel Overlap

    • Last 9″ of panel is smooth
    • Fits snug together -saves 30-40% on erection
    • No struggle with assembly
    • No caulking required for waterproofing
  • Last 9″ of panel is crimped
  • Does not fit snug together – difficult to assemble, requires 30-40% more erection time
  • More alignment needed with drift pins
  • Caulking is required for waterproofing – very time consuming, as each overlap must have four rows of caulking to prevent leaks

    • No buckling problems
    • 25% increase in strength
