Warehouse Metal Panel Gauge Guide - What Thickness Works Best?

[GC_Maven]

hey folks, i'm plnaning out a metal warehouse build, around 60x100 feet, and trying to figure out the right gauge thickness for the wall and roof panels. i've seen everything from 26 to 14 gauge mentioned, but i'm not sure what's best for durability without driving up costs too much. what gauge sizes have you used, and how did they hold up over time?

appreciate any insights or real-world experiences - trying to make the right call before locking in materials!

I've used mostly 26 gauge for walls and 24 for the roof on warehouse builds, and they've held up well for years. thicker gauges like 22 or 20 are super durable but can get pricey fast, so it really depends on your local weather and budget.
