[RE-wrenches] Metal shingles

[Jesse Dahl]

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.
