Metal Roof Insallation on a Pole Barn | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 6/21/2006	I am thinking about putting on a steel roof on my pole barn but I have some questions. 1) Do I have to strip the old shingle and boards or just strip the shingle and leave the boards or can I install the metal roof on top of the shingle. With ot without a gap? If so, how much of a gap?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/8233/find/
Allan Reid Dura-Loc Roofing Systems, Inc. 6/22/2006	Depends on the product. Most people use a vertical rib panel however if you lay it directly over the ashpahlt shingles it can telegraph through. If the shingles are in good shape then a layer of 30 lb felt will help separate them. Certainly strapping the roof is a plus provide you are using heavy enough steel to span.
