1x4 furring over rolled roofing | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 1/5/2013	I want to install a metal roof on a carport/shed over the existing rolled roofing. I will put down new under layment. Can I run the 1x4 furring strips horizontal the length of the roof? The roof trusses are such that if I run the furring with the pitch of the roof, I can't nail to the trusses.

Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 1/6/2013	Make sure that the metal roofing you're installing can be installed over purlins. Then check the load requirements which will indicate the required purlin spacing. The purlins need to be run horizontal.
