"I'm Tom Shean and today on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to install a metal roof. The profile over the wood shake panel is comprised of a 4 inch low 6 inch high 8 inch low and a 6 inch high pattern. Each full panel has a two pattern repeat. This allows for two off setting points per panel. The rear shelf of the shake panel is profiled to match the pattern at the front of the panel, which is offset by 13 inches to the left. In basic terms it provides for the profile to advance 11 inches to the right and or 13 inches to the left for a net offset of 2 inches of every second course. As the panel has two panel repeats this further allows for a 35 inch offset to the right and a 37 inch offset to the left. As the pattern slowly advances to the left it is at your convenience where you start your first panel. For hip valley installation you should adjust this to eliminate cuts and bends diagonally across the in joints of a panel. Again, fasten the first course through the back shelf and lay two courses of tile at one time to assure accurate panel fitments."
