Sheet metal proved an effective barrier against blustery winds piercing the wooden structures of buildings where snowfall is a common occurrence. Tin sourced locally or repurposed from various containers such as bean cans, gas cans, and ceiling tiles was widely employed for signage purposes in the Rocky Mountains. Galvanized corrugated iron emerged as a popular choice during the 1850s, serving as a viable alternative to traditional materials until steel eventually took its place.
