Some metal roofing panels can be installed this way and some cannot. If you choose to install an appropriate panel in this manner you will have to get a load table chart from the manufacturer which will allow you to figure out spacing of the battens.

I am wondering if when installing new metal on a brand new building if it is alright to strap the trusses with 2x4s,and not sheet the roof with plywood.as well how far apart should the strapping be apart.
Thanks
