Ribbed metal roofing installation.

Metal roofing is also available in the form of shingles. Work at a comfortable steady pace trying not to rip up or carry off too much old roofing at once. The sheets should overlap by at least four inches add a bead of caulk where they overlap and at the other end of the building ensure there s an overhang of two inches. Once the first sheet is in place you need to install the remainder of the lowest row of corrugated metal roofing.

Secure the sheets into place with screws. Metal roofing resists rot is not susceptible to insect damage and is non combustible a boon in fire prone areas. Work up from the initial row starting at the lower corner in a diagonal pattern staggering the shingles to prevent gaps. Lay the starter row of metal shingles at the drip edge and affix to the roof with metal roofing nails.
