Do you all think it would be thick enough...everything i've read says 28 ga, but shouldn't the ribs add some strength and hopefully reduce vibration. One benefit that i like is that i can get a 14ft long piece to cover each side and not have any seems.
Im not opposed to using sheet steel, but since i need 26 inches to cover top and bottom it seems a waste of a sheet.
What do you all think, im open to all suggestions and insight.

I think that closing the end well and having it look good may be challenging.
I have purchased metal roofing from a local producer for a number of projects. They bring the metal in flat in rolls. When you order roofing they put the proper color material roll on a big machine that creates the roofing profile.
I asked them if they would sell it to me flat and they said "no problem".
Maybe something like that would work?
