Metal roof
I don't see many metal roofs around here. Saw one today with screws not only in the ridges as they should be, but also in the valley, which I wonder about. Is this alright?

Re: Metal roof
Yes, for some systems.

I believe they are supposed to be a minimum of 6" (or is it 12") up from the valley end of the panel.

Re: Metal roof
I wish my Edit would work and not crash my browser.

However (this is what I wanted to add) ...

I've always seen performed valleys with the center water diverter used on metal roofing.

Attached is one detail from one manufacturer, most I have shown the same thing.

Re: Metal roof
This was leaking everywhere.
It wasn't hard to figure out why.
