How is this roof type for flashing? Do you just cut it with a tin
snips? My project only entails replacing an unflashed conduit
penetration with a Soladeck, so I'm hoping it won't be too bad.

We've used the standoff and boot method successfully. It dictates
where you put your rows to some extent, but it's not too bad. There is
definitely a hefty up-charge on this roof type. It adds quite a bit of
labor and material.

We've done a couple of installs on metal shingle roofs and we used
the Unirac stand offs with the Oatey boots. We had the standoffs
and flashing installed by the roofer so it wouldn't void the roof
warranty. It cost about $1500 extra but we thought it was worth
if in case of a leak.
Thanks,
Will

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Metal shingles
Hello,
I looked at a site today and the roofing was a brand of metal
shingle. This was just a quick drive by and check out the site so
I don't have access to the brand or method of attachment.
It still got me thinking, what are people doing for attachments to
roofing like this? 6/12 pitch, and from the photos the client
sent me, the structure is 2"X6" truss running N-S, with 1"x4"
strapping every 4' running E-W along with 5/8" OSB on top of the
strapping. The trusses look to be on 4' centers (just judging by
the photo).
The only thing I can think of is EJOT type fasteners through the
shingle into the truss. The shingles would crush a little bit, but
the OSB would support it pretty well. Otherwise removing the
shingles where the feet would go and then.....
As always thanks for all the help.
Jesse
