Spacings should be reduced to 750mm maximum end spans in areas exposed to high winds.
Purlin spacing for pvc corrugated roofing.
Corrugated plastic roofing is a long lasting and low maintenance alternative to corrugated metal roofing.
While panels may not fail under heavy snow loads strain at fastening points can cause slight cracking.
Purlin spacing should suit the end laps required for the size of sheet to be used.
Corrugated sheet roofing material is widely available and easy to use.
The overlaps ends and sides depends upon the sloop of the roof see below.
For heavier material such as gage steel the metal roof purlins spacing length could go up to 4 feet.
Overhang at eaves should not exceed 100mm and be less in high wind areas.
For the greca profile 900mm first and last and 1200mm for the intermediates.
When framing the roof the spacing for roof trusses should not exceed 24 inches 61 cm and purlins should not exceed 36 inches 91 cm apart.
You can use both types of corrugated roofing together creating panels that will allow light to come through as with a clear or white fiberglass corrugated panel known as a skylight.

Doubling up in the valleys refer to the installation manual for the proper on center spacing and be sure that the purlin is attached to the roofing truss.
In the valleys due to the angle typically produced at the valley and the use of transition flashing it is essential that the purlins are doubled in the valleys that is two purlins side by side on each side of the angle of the valley.
Installing translucent plastic corrugated roof panels.
For the lighter material such as lightweight aluminum the common spacing length is 4 inches of clear gap.
The typical spacing standards for residential and commercial buildings are about 1 to 2 foot.
Plastic is much lighter and easier to work with making it popular with homeowners looking to save money that could be spent hiring professional installation teams.
Endlap at battens or purlins should not exceed 200mm to reduce.
In heavy snow areas 500 series or greater panels are recommended and closer spacing of purlins should be considered.
Corrugations should run in a straight line between the highest and lowest points and at a right angle to the purlins the intermediate supports.
