I'm stripping my roof and installing standing seam. I want to know the best direction to go in with the install and insulation. Right now the enter camp is gutted down to the studs. It's a 23 x 11 camp. Thanks!

This is rather complicated and I need a lot more information. Feel free to call me at 1-800-543-8938 ext 201 In my opinion though, ideally you would have the following from the inside out on the home Paint, drywall, vapor barrier, insulation, vented airspace, solid decking, underlayment, metal roof.

Thanks Todd. I'm going to go without drywall so I think my layers will go like this from the inside out. Please correct me if this is off. Stain T&G Vapor barrier Spray foam between the rafters (what kind should I get?) Solid decking Tar paper underlayment Vented airspace Metal roof
