2 x 4's are the way we always go except on the eves. We use a 2 x 6 so if you use over the roof hangers sometimes refered to as ez-on, you can use all four holes in the hanger (must be drilled out a little to accept the wood tite screws) Our supplier says never over the top of shingles as no warrenty. Many folks make the mistake of applying the stitch screw (where the lap is) in the center of the rib. This can fast become a problem. We offset the screw to avoid the drain chanel. We get called out on many leaking metal roofs for that reason. We also started out on the high roofs putting a additional screw just aside the stitch screw (on the lapping sheet)in case the stitch ever worked loose you had a backup plan in play. We also screw on both sides of the rib on the eves as that is where the wind gets under the tin. 1979 and other than a tornado throwing a barn on top of our addition we have yet to replace / rescrew a flapping pice of tin. The Amish around here do not strip the roofs with 2 x 4's and get er done cheaper. Most of our older structures have origanaly had wood shingles and do not have tight sheating. We must assume that they have more wisdom than my crew as when we are on this type of roof we can't calculate where the gaps in the sheeting are. Thus you have a screw held in place by wood shingles /asphalt shingles. That is why everyone says tin roofs leak. Dave NE IA
