Why Desert Homes Need Metal Roofs (Water Storage Hack)

• Matt Risinger - YouTube.com

Matt and Steve brave Arizona's High Sonoran Desert to highlight the benefits of metal roofing in a hot, arid climate. The project features an 1,800-gallon buried water tank and additional smaller tanks that capture rainwater from multiple roof planes, providing both drinking water and irrigation. The metal roof design is oriented to reduce solar heat gain, uses reflective coatings to shed heat, and offers antimicrobial and rust-resistant properties for long-term durability. Beyond performance, the roof supports solar panel installation, contributes to water management, and delivers a sleek, low-maintenance aesthetic. Together, Steve and Matt emphasize why metal roofing is a generational choice for energy efficiency, sustainability, and resilience.
