Installation mistake

Return to Metal Roofing Benefits

Return to Forum

Hello, this past weekend we installed a exposed fastener metal roof on my garage. Everything went smooth during the installation. However now that we are 100% finished I have come to the sad realization that we did not overlap the panels correctly. Be honest what can I expect from this roofing job and is there anything I can do to correct my issues. This is a picture I found online that best represents how we installed the panels and where we placed the screws. Thanks

Any chance you can post up a picture that you have taken? Eric Novotny

Ohh that's really sad! Is your roof leaking if yes, then you might have to uninstall and fix the roof again properly. If you are not facing any problem, then let it be like that only. From the picture I am not able to find out the problem clearly.

See what Eric thinks but I do not think this will be a problem for you other than aesthetics.This is a PBR panel and normally that extra little leg rests on the purlin, not the panel. Todd Miller

I am guessing the original poster has resolved their problem. Their post was from 2013 so I hope it hasn't been leaking for 3 years and not resolved. Eric Novotny
