Wonder how well OFDM performs in this situation?

Ryan,
I would think that the vertical beam width of the antenna you choose

It really depends on the roof. If it's pretty flat then you'll likely have
to get up there a ways. If it's sloped away from your antenna it may not
take much.
This, sir, will likely be a try it and see issue.
If you're gonna press for a number though, I'd probably put up one of those
20 or
The bigger issue is wether the barn is high enough for being a cell site.
If the Barn is up on high ground elevations, it might be OK.
Remember the freznel zone needs to be above the tree line for the LOS freqs.
I can tell you that I get nad reflections of regular roofs in many cases
when using
I always put my omnis at least 1/2 the diameter of the roof, (water
tower or silo), higher than the roof if in the center

I don't know how high off the roof it would take to not have bad multipath
issues. I do know that I had a CPE on one end of a metal building that was
longer than a football field & twice as wide(was shooting over the length of
it) and I "the Devil" trying to correct that issue while it was in that
