<div dir="ltr">It depends on the type of metal shingle/tile, of course, but many of them have a screw where they overlap. We are seeing a lot of the simulated round tiles that are made of metal, and they can have a screw at the apex near the overlap, or on the overlap/edge.<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>
