Next put a screw into the fastening strip to keep it steady before installing the screws along the face. Step 3 drill the holes now you can take out your drill and drill bit and start drilling the needed holes. Now we can install our roof panels. Take your first panel and set it on the roof in the area that you will be placing them.

Metal roofing is also available in the form of shingles. The silicone will spread and adhere creating a seal. Screw each stanchion through the roof and into a roof rafter. You may need to cut panels to fit angles using a circular saw with a metal saw blade.

Along the fastening strip of the sl16 always use the pancake head fastener. Next pre drill holes on the end and side ridges of the panels spacing the holes 6 to 8 inches apart. You will want to make sure that the curve on the panels is flush over the moldings you have just secured into place with your galvanized screws. On the roof lay out the locations of the stanchions that will support the solar panels.

Screw the new panel in place as described. Do this until the entire roof is covered. Beginning at the outside edge of your roof place each panel directly onto the purlins that are attached to the roof trusses. To install corrugated roofing start by cutting your panels to length with an angle grinder.

If you feel the need for sealants lay a bead of 100 silicone or adhesive silicone before laying the sheet down and make sure the bead is towards the edge of the bottom sheet. Also be sure the stanchion flashing fits beneath the roof shingles to prevent leaks.
