Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

any galvanized sheet metal has zinc on it..ya don't want or need solid zinc.
Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

Have seen them at both the local big box hardwares, Lowe's and Home Depot. Come in a compact roll of about 40' or so and about 4" wide. I have seen these work miracles on homes with serious algae and moss problems. Not so much correcting a bad situation as keeping it at bay after a reroofing job or serious cleaning.
My local lumberyard has them on the shelf.

Another day, another tool.
go to http://www.bradcosupply.com they're a roofing/siding wholesaler across half the country, heavy on the east coast, good pricing, boom service, many tools, copper & lead flashing, copper gutters and sheets, roofing, siding, brakes, cedar shingles and clapboard.....a good place
bought the 3' formed zinc strips there w pre-punched nail holes also sell a length product, roll, which is cheaper you can also use rolls of zinc flashing, cut expansion joints or into 3'-4' pieces to avoid expansion buckling, find them in yards on the coast if you're nearby first used zinc strips on two problem houses, worked great, both places had stain/fungus problems due to overhanging trees i placed them twice across the roof, halfway up and again under ridge cap both roofs clean today, 6-7 years later places used to look like gardens wouldn't use galvanized, rust will bloom you've got rust stains bleeding down
I'm at Bradco several times a month lately.20 minutes from me.how ironic.small worldMy life is my passion!

hard place to beat, good service if you use cedar clapboard or shingles in bulk they'll get them, bought large job, top shelf goods at reasonable price hurricane andrew made them a fortune, remember them emptying the two yards near me as winter came on in new england but reconstruction started in florida hard to find rolls of lead flashing inland around here, use it to reset leaking doors on flooring jobs, always on the shelf at bradco

NAssau Suffolk Lumber beat Bradcos prices on cedar roof by a mile....they told me they don't really deal in it all that much.
Still a great place

hi andy
i don't think they normally stock it, bring it in for special orders the job i had was huge, roof and sidewall, lot of copper gutters, leaders and valleys guess the bulk order made the difference i'm getting too old and fragile for ladder work anyways, concentrate on the flooring, warm in the winter, dry when there's rain, closer to the beer cooler

By the way....where you from exactly
