As I look at these photos do I see a crown to your roof spars? Or is it just the photo direction?

Will the curved roof panels hit a flat spar before the panel needs to make one of the tight bends for your profile? Plywood bent in 2 different directions can get real nasty to deal with. Just curious as to what you have in mind.

Yes. I have a transition section with one spar that isn't crowned. It will (should) allow it settle flat before the rollover. I'm banking on the radius of the profiles to put the wood in enough tension to retain that transition section and keep it from sagging. I will need to have a seam at that spar to make the transition with two separate sheets We use this system at my work with aluminum sheets.
