[RE-wrenches] Metal shingles

[Ray Walters]

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?)

The trusses look to be on 4' centers (just judging by the photo).
