Metal roofing

Posted by softballguy on April 17, 2006, 11:11 am

I'm replacing the metal roof on my porch with a lighter weight metal. Do I
put the gasketed screws on the ribs or the flat part?

Standing seam roof? Make clips to attach to the roof and lap over your
"ribs", then the rib caps will cover the clips. More work for you, but
a better roof(i.e.,no through-fasteners). Tom

Simple flat roof covering a back porch. Do I get these clips at my
neighborhood Home Depot? Thanks for your help

Sounds like a manufactured system.
I'd look for instructions or ask the person who sold it to me.
