DIY products for low pitch roof | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 9/5/2002	I have a roof with a pitch of 2.5:12 and would like to know if there are any metal roofing products that would be fairly easy for someone with good mechancial skills and half a brain, to install. I live in Anchorage Alaska, the roof has two surfaces the longest of which is 39 feet, no valleys. Appreciate any help you can be in this matter.

Allan Reid Dura-Loc Roofing Systems, Inc. 9/5/2002	I'm not sure if you are referring to the length of the building of the length of the sheets however here goes. You are obviously in a climate where ice and snow build up are an issue. I am not sure if you have a vented attic space or not, however a 39 foot long sheet it is best to use a standing seam sheet for expansion and contraxction which is more complicated. If the sheets were around 24 feet long then you could use a through fastened vertical rib panel. Regardless I would recommend a good underlayment with strapping to stand the roof off to create an air space.
