As with the starter strip panels, installation must start at the left side of the roof. If working left to
right out of a valley, place the top left portion of the panel in the valley such that the diagonal cut
down, 4 inches out from the centerline of the valley, from left to right cuts through the entire
panel. The overlap on each piece is fitted into the overlap of the preceding one. At the ends of the
courses trim panels (using a power saw or knife), to be flush with the edge. Care should be taken
to keep the cuts straight.
Panels are installed using five (7) 1 ¾” galvanized roofing nails (see illustration above and in
“Fastening” section). This will ensure that there are ten (14) attachment points in each panel as the
fasteners will go through the top portion of the panel below.
ROOF JACKS
Roof Jacks may be fitted and removed in the same manner as with asphalt shingles.
Upon reaching the peak of the roof, the last row of panels may have to be trimmed along the upper
edge, flush with the ridge.
