Roof panels run from outside bearing wall to clear span structural beam. Panels are attached using appropriate length panel screws. |

Roof panels can be joined using a double or single 2x stud depending on the engineering. The studs slide into the panels and are then nailed off at a 6" spacing. When using this connection, 2x material can be run along to be used as support for eaves. |

Roof panels can be joined using pre-installed metal studs. The metal studs are laminated into the panel and fit together with a tounge and groove system. Then screwed together using a 6" spacing. When using this method, panels must run long to make eave. |

Roof panels use appropriate length panel screws to attach to walls. Panel screws have a 12" spacing on center along bearing wall, ridge beam and gable panels. |

When installing roof panels, lifting machinery is highly recommended. Make sure that all wall panels and other bearing walls are completely fastened down and completed. |

Construction adhesive is required anytime the roof panels meet a wall and beam. |

|
Metal ridge straps are recommended at 24" spacing along the ridge after installation. |

|
|
Metal strapping can be used where roof panels meet walls for extra support. |

After roof panels have been completely installed and wiring has been completed use a wedge plate and foam-in-place insulation to fill gap between exterior walls and roof panels. |

Cut wedge from 2x material and place in gap along with foam-in-place insulation after wiring is complete. Glue and toe nail wedge in place. |

Use gap between wall and roof panels as electrical gutter. |

Non-Structural Roof Panels: On roof systems that will be using a structural decking, non-structural roof panels take the place of fiberglass insulation. They lay on top of decking and are fastened with panel screws through the "nail base" panels and into the structural deck. |
