Installing a pergola roof isn t all that complicated.
How to install a metal roof on a pergola.
You start with taking the dimensions of your pergola and writing them down.
Then take the material that you picked and lay it on top of the pergola.
Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge.
Use your neoprene washer head screws to secure the metal to the sheathing.
When the board ended and we needed to attach another closure strip we marked where the new strip would start on the next board.
Drill holes in the new panel like you did with the first one.
Then attach both the first and second panels where they overlap to the pergola frame.
With a variety of lattice roof options the style of your metal pergola is up to you.
In order to attach the purlin on top of the header we had to screw up from the header of the pergola into the purlin.
We put it together in an hour really easy.
Space the screws about 12 in 30 cm apart down the entire piece of metal.
First we attached the horizontal closure strips to the 2 3 boards.
Continue installing panels until you get all the way across your pergola roof.
Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof line.
Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel.
