Roll of roof metal structure
 

As shown above the metal structure is covered by wood panel fixed by some crews into the metal structure. To avoid moisture on the wood, the panels are painted with a special product. My roofing system include protection from wind-driven rain as well as snow and ice. This is accomplished by installing waterproofing underlayment directly beneath the shingles.
The aperture is 80” by 58” (203cm by 148cm).
