Should I buy the 3" wide or the 6" wide for my roof?

Is your roof any type of roof that absorbs moisture get 6" and it will last for a longer duration and enrich.that anti microbial effect that comes from zinc

If I had to do it over again I think I would buy 6".I had the 3" put on my roof but I still have moss......so I will try 6" next time.

I laid down a 3" with an adhesive (roof tar) as I could not slide the zinc under the asphalt shingles. On another roof at a home I have in Maine I used a 6" as the roof was steep (45degree pitch) and very large in length to the eave. It seems to be preventing the lichens and moss from reoccurring.

I had seen only 3" wide strips in the hardware store and on-line when I bought mine, so I thought that was the standard size. I installed the strip under the edge of the ridge cap with rubber gasketed roofing screws, leaving about 1.5 inches showing. Rain is supposed to slowly dissolve the zinc, causing zinc ions to flow down the roof killing (or at least retarding the growtn) of moss. So far, Ihave seen no effect on the moss on my roof.

get the 156 inch. if too long you can tape it up underneath on the ends. better safe...

I would get the 12by 6 if space permits. I bought 2 of the 8 by 6 for my 8 & 5 year old grandsons but as they grow I will replace with the larger goals..Tom D

I would go with the 58" just so you know you have enough room. I BARELY could get it to work and my width was not much over 58"

It was a perfect fit for my 45-48 inch wide cart, roof-wise , but I would be wary about fitting a 53 inch wide.

The one we purchased was too big. We would have needed to purchase a longer roof for it to fit so we returned it.

This needs to sit flat on the roof. They make two smaller versions, so you should measure your roof and pick the one that fits.

It's 56 and the roof overhang is about about 3 more inches. I would allow an area of 60x60.

I would say wide is an objective term. The boards make it very easy to access the roof racks and are therefore very functional. Easy for grandkids to get in and out. I think they look good also. I installed them myself and appreciated the well written instructions. I have a friend who has the tube type and he likes them, so I think it's just a matter of preference.

It is better to have at least half of the antenna above the roofline. Consider the 4 ft version.

Honestly, buy them with the roof bars you have and see if you need to get longer ones. As I didn't need to as my boats cleared the mirrors on the side without the 6" overlap. Buy them you'll love them. Paul

I don't know how well that would work, You have 6 roof ribs, 3 on each side. You could cut them down 6 - 12" each and make it 8 - 9 feet wide but, the canopy would not fit anymore, you would have to figure out how to attach that without too much excess.

You should be fine with 3 qts of the cleaner! It depends on the condition of your roof on hiw many coats you will need! I put on 4coats on my 32ft 5th wheel! It seemed pretty thin if i went with less!

It's ideal to have the same size, but probably difficult to find the exact size tarp. I think you can hang extra 6feet on one side or hang 3 feet width evenly for two sides, but this is not so secure against the strong wind. If I were you, I will shorten the 16 feet width to 10 feet width by folding( sewing, etc.)in the middle. So you can still use the ready-made holes to tie down to the frame securely for wind protection.

Go with the larger size. It will lay down better. I bought the smaller size and it would'nt stay stuck down on the roof . So I had to order the larger size. And it fit good . Hope that helps. Wrb

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?

I think 6 feet is better because you are able to do more with it as apposed to the 3 feet.
