How to put tin on a round roof.

Lay the panels on the ground the way you want them to be on the roof. Secure the slats with 3 inch metal to wood screws. This helps in setting up the lap of the panels. Lay the slats at 2 foot intervals length wise as you work from the roof s bottom and upward.

To make a truly round roof in metal you need eitehr tapered panels or some of the metal panels will work. Step 2 apply a generous bead of roofing sealant around the base of the pipe with the caulking gun. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. Drive a pair of 8d nails through the wood.

Remove the rubber boot. Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof line. Install a corrugated roofing wall connector panel to a wall with roofing sealant when installing panels for a patio cover. If you segment the roof into a bunch of pie shapes though you can use other panels as well.

Structurally your options include putting the roof panels just over a framing system. Install slat boards to the roof so that you can easily attach the new tin. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Trace the outline of the base of the rubber boot onto the metal roof with a pencil.

Use the lower edge of the roof as a guide and install nailers end to end across the roof with the lower edge two inches from the edge of the roof. Follow manufacturer s instructions for the sealant application.
