Metal Roof sheet replacement

[mdfdust]

Hi Guys,

I've got a large metal roof that has been up for about 20 years...

Generally its in pretty good nick but I have about a half dozen sheets that need to be replaced.

It is superdek/trimdek profile...

Is it doable to put an order into lysaght/stratco and replace these sheets myself?

How difficult would it be?

Any specials tools required?

Both Lysaght and Stratco should accept an order from you but just make sure who's product it is as they do vary in profile and will look odd when you try to match them up.

It should be easy enough to do but only you will know if you are capable of doing it yourself.

You will need an electric screwdriver or a powerful battery drill depending on what you are driving the screws into. Hardwood battens will require a powerful Screwdriver.

You need to fix it at every rib on every batten.

They are different profiles, but very similar:

Choose a day without much wind or the threat of rain and sweep any metal dust from the screwing off the roof once you're done.
