Very interesting, as I'm going out on my first metal shingle roof
tomorrow morning. We were going to use a regular Soladeck. I'll let
you know how it goes. I'm thinking I can trim it with a tin
snips....(famous last words?)

Hello,
I looked at a site today and the roofing was a brand of metal shingle. This was
just a quick drive by and check out the site so I don't have access to the
brand or method of attachment.
It still got me thinking, what are people doing for attachments to roofing like this? 6/12 pitch, and
from the photos the client sent me, the structure is 2"X6" truss running N-S, with
1"x4" strapping every 4' running E-W along with 5/8" OSB on top of the strapping. The
trusses look to be on 4' centers (just judging by the photo).
The only thing I can think of is EJOT type fasteners through the shingle into
the truss. The shingles would crush a little bit, but the OSB would support it
pretty well. Otherwise removing the shingles where the feet would go and
then.....
As always thanks for all the help.
