Probably but I would check with the manufacturer of your home and also of your roofing. Also, you may wish to consider vertical battens and then horizontal ones, allowing you to vent the area beneath the new metal roof. Todd Miller

Horizontal battens alone do not encourage convective airflow from the bottom to the top of the roof, because they block the airflow. Todd Miller
