What It Is
A Solid, Permanent Roof — No Moving Parts
Fixed IBR (Inverted Box Rib) roofing is corrugated steel sheeting fixed permanently to a supporting frame. It is used for patios and carports where dependable, low-maintenance weather protection matters more than adjustability.
It suits homeowners who want a permanent solid roof over a patio, braai area or walkway, and businesses needing heavy-duty overhang protection for loading bays, walkways or outdoor storage — no motors, no manual controls, just a durable fixed structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IBR roof sheeting?
IBR (Inverted Box Rib) is a corrugated steel roofing profile widely used in South Africa for its strength and weather resistance. We install it in Chromadek and Zincalume finishes as a fixed, permanent patio or carport roof.
Is a fixed IBR roof better than an adjustable louvre awning?
They solve different problems. IBR is a solid, permanent roof — maximum weather protection, lowest moving parts, no adjustability. An adjustable louvre awning trades some structural simplicity for the ability to open the roof for light and airflow. We'll recommend the right one for your space and budget.
What's the difference between Chromadek and Zincalume IBR sheeting?
Chromadek is pre-painted steel sheeting available in a range of colours to match your home. Zincalume is an aluminium-zinc coated steel with a metallic finish and strong corrosion resistance. We'll help you choose based on finish preference and your property's exposure.
How long does an IBR roof installation take?
Most residential IBR patio roofs are installed within one to a few working days once manufacture is complete, depending on span and site access. We'll confirm a timeline once we've assessed your site.
