Thanks so much. Metal shingles are not uncommon as DIY projects. The installation from one product to the next is actually pretty similar. Most of these panels are four-way interlocking and install direct to the deck along with quality underlayment. Some panels use clips for fastening while others have integrated nail tabs or strips. Some of the aluminum panels offer foam inserts for added walkability to facilitate installation. One of the most time consuming parts of properly installing a metal shingle roof will be the valleys.
