Aluminum question

I plan on skinning a Generic Benroy with .040 pre-painted aluminum from harborsales.
The Benroy will go on a NT trailer 5'x8'. My question is has anyone built a Benroy and skinned it with aluminum and what length did they order for the roof? The sides will be
4x8 but I am wondering if I should get 10' or 12' for the roof. I need to know because I want to transport them in my truck and not sure if I could get away with 12'. Thanks

Ask the supplier if the sheets are shipped flat or if they are rolled. I've never bought aluminum in large size sheets but all the sheet steel (metal roofing) I have bought comes rolled when the lengths get to be 10+ feet.

Harbor Sales ships flat.
