How to install roof panels.

Beginning at the outside edge of your roof place each panel directly onto the purlins that are attached to the roof trusses. Do this until the entire roof is covered. Now we can install our roof panels. Continue adding panels until the roof is covered.

Metal roofing is also available in the form of shingles. If you feel the need for sealants lay a bead of 100 silicone or adhesive silicone before laying the sheet down and make sure the bead is towards the edge of the bottom sheet. You will want to make sure that the curve on the panels is flush over the moldings you have just secured into place with your galvanized screws. To install corrugated roofing start by cutting your panels to length with an angle grinder.

Next pre drill holes on the end and side ridges of the panels spacing the holes 6 to 8 inches apart. Screw each stanchion through the roof and into a roof rafter. Along the fastening strip of the sl16 always use the pancake head fastener. Install the panel so that the short lip overlaps the large lip.

Continue installing the metal panels making sure that the edges overlap at least 1 in 2 5 cm or as required with the adjacent panel. Screw the new panel in place as described. Next put a screw into the fastening strip to keep it steady before installing the screws along the face. You may need to cut panels to fit angles using a circular saw with a metal saw blade.

Also be sure the stanchion flashing fits beneath the roof shingles to prevent leaks. Take your first panel and set it on the roof in the area that you will be placing them.
