The company I bought my steel roof from told me that if there is

adequate ventilation. (that would be one hell of a pain in the ass if
it was needed!)

I think I'll probably end up doing my barn roof with it, then shingles
with the best warranty I can get - it gets some serious wind up the top
there, even when it's calm down below (it's around 40' to the ridge
line). Yes, it'll be a pain in the butt, but no worse than doing the
shingles themselves.

A big, high, but simple roof like that, I would strongly consider
skinning in steel panels. That is the application they were invented
for. Don't wanna do it more than once, do you?
