Protect that expensive roof during installation

Protect that expensive roof during installation

When working the metal roofing panels into the valleys, the bottoms of the panels slide into the valley flashing and are hemmed with a mallet.

But this can scratch the panels before the roof is even finished.

Ben’s solution is to slip a scrap of starter panel between the valley and the roofing to protect it from scratches and whacks.

This way, the new roof still looks new after you finish it.
