Re-Roofing for a Manufactured Home with Ramada Roof 1:12 pitch | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 2/1/2005	Is there metal roofing that is economical, attractive, long-lasting available for a 1973 manufactured home with a ramada roof with 1:12 pitch (3400 sq feet)? Research has only provided us with roofing for higher pitched roofs. We would like to put this on ourselves but will consider a contractor.

This probably would not be a DIY job but would need to be addressed by a commercial metal roofing installer. You also will need to pay attention to ventilation in order to avoid future condensation problems.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/5355/find/

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 2/3/2005	Is your name Todd Miller? I thought that was my name. There are a variety of roof-over systems available for older homes, some of them utilizing metal pans. I am guessing your home has too low of roof pitch for a standard metal roof. I would suggest a Google search for mobile home metal roofs.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/5358/find/
