I am putting down battens over an existing Torch down roof. Do I need to use pressure treated wood? What is recomended?

Are you certain that the metal panel you wll be installing is appropriate for this application? That is critical. Is the roof pitch okay? Can the product be installed over battens? I would not use any sort of treated lumber as battens. Chemicals could react with the metal. Todd Miller
