Ha!! No... unfortunately, it didn't come with instructions. Now I
understand what you were talking about. Thanks a bunch for the help! I had
seen it done with and without screws.


Didn't this stuff come with instructions? Unless I'm missing something,
it's either flat seam(soldered), or standing seam, right? The clips are
easily made by using a similar(if not the same) type metal to avoid
galvanic response(fasteners, too). Let's see if this makes sense: Cut
strips about 1 inch wide by the height of your seams plus approximately
2 inches. Lay the panel down in place, set clips bent at 90 degrees
onto the roof next to the panel, and nail it down. Put 2 together,
about every foot, 'cause one will hold the first panel, the next will
hold the adjacent panel. The part that travels up along the seam is
bent over the seam, holding the panel down, and the ribs are installed
over the seams, hiding the clips. Then the ribs are riveted through
horizontally. Or just screw the panels down with the gasketed screws.
Or hire a qualified person. G'luck. Tom

If you are talking about the kind of metal roofing that has sort of an
upside down V grove or called a Rib, about three or five depending on
type, then the gasketed screw will go in the center top of the rib. Make
sure is fairly centered a straight, and do not over tighten, do not
allow to demple the metal.

Also best to use felt unless just a shed.

I would not use on a house, although if installed correctly less likely
to leak, best to use the standing seam type. Those have a 90 degree
angled edges on each side, where clips attached on one side and the
corrasponding edge on the next panel snaps (or is seamed) over the
previous edgel hidding the clip holding that edgel down (clip is also
fastened to the roof with a screw or nail).
