How To Install Tin Roof Panels

In many cases it makes sense to remove an old or dilapidated roof and install a metal roof that is better able to withstand the elements.

How to install tin roof panels.

Always begin working at the point with the longest peak to eave distance. When you decide to install corrugated metal roofing you just need to make sure that you have the right materials. These will stop the entry of rain wind and pests. Place the first screw about 7 inches from the bottom and each subsequent screw about 18 to 24 inches apart along the vertical run.

Take your first sheet of metal and place it on the roof so that it overhangs the edge at least 3 4 in 1 9 cm. Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge. Corrugated metal roofing can be a convenient and relatively affordable way to provide protection without the need to install metal shingles. Secure the screws but do not overtighten.

Add the metal panels. The washer under the screw head should seal to the surface of the panel without bulging or shifting. Close or seal off the ends with a wood or plastic strip under the panel at each end. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel.
