Nice picture at least I now know some type of 'tin' roofs have
capping, it does appear to be something other than the type of roofing
'tin' I was asking about.

Just to be clear I'm asking about the kind of 'tin' roofing that comes
in 32 inch width and is in varying lengths that has ridges on both
edges and a ridge in the center. The ridges are what is overlapped
when installing the roof.

go online and Look up Champion metal. they have a installation manual you
should be able to download. This should give you a good idea of what is
involved. Also your local Lumberyard will have instructions on how to
install and flash a roof

My neighbor has what you are talking about but it gets capped in a
very similar way to the picture posted. If you can't find one I will
go get a picture of his house (it's dark now)
