a couple of installs on metal shingle roofs and we used the
Unirac stand offs with the Oatey boots. We had the
standoffs and flashing installed by the roofer so it
wouldn't void the roof warranty. It cost about $1500 extra
but we thought it was worth if in case of a leak.<br>

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Metal shingles<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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.....<br>
<br>
As always thanks for all the help.<br>
<br>
Jesse<br>
