TOPIC: Installation

Corrugated, flashing

Return to Installation

Return to Forum

I plan to install a 7/8 corrugated roof over the top of my existing comp/shingles. The problem I have is a very low pitch, only 1-3/4 in 12.

I have various vents & skylights, because of the low pitch, typical flashing (under the upper panel, over the lower panel) won't work.

How should I flash in this situation?

Thanks for the advice!

Step 1 - check with the panel manufacturer that they will even warranty said pitch.

Thanks for the response. These are surplus panels that I will be installing myself, so no warranty considerations.

Any thoughts on the flashing?

thanks

I would suggest looking online for a manufacturer of this type of panel and then seeking out their installation instructions, which should include flashing instructions.
