Installing a tin roof diy.

Decide what type of tin roof you want by selecting either an r panel or v crimp style. Once the first wood layer is down cover it with 15 pound felt paper image 1. Step 1 select a tin roof type. For exposed fasteners avoid over tightening the fastener.

In a log cabin with exposed beams the tongue and groove roof decking boards will be visible from underneath. Space the screws about 12 in 30 cm apart. Remove the old roof. For an r panel style you will need to install it with 5 16 inch lap screws.

Measure the roof area. Place the first screw. Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof. Use your neoprene washer head screws to secure the metal to the sheathing.

Make sure that the screws are all aligned evenly as you will be able to see them from the ground if they are. You will need to order enough metal material to cover the entire roof and this process. However with a seamed or crimped roof style you won t need screws. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it.
