Can this be installed with a steel roof? I only have read info on this for tile and asphalt roofs.

I don't see why not, but to be certain call the manufacturer technical support. Hope this helped p.s. absolutely love this tubular system.

If you have a metal roof, no problem at all. It sticks very well. If you have metal roof sealer or the white snowseal,and it is peeling, remove as much of the peeling as possible, then apply. It will stick very well.

Mark is incorrect. The kit includes the brackets and instructions for mounting to a roof. However, you will need to choose the screws/bolts/washers etc. that will work with the type of roof you are attaching to. For instance, we mounted to our garage roof and we used bolts and washers on the bracket that was able to get attached to a solid wood beam under the shingles but we had to use toggle anchors, washers and bolts for the bracket that wasn't able to be attached to a solid wood beam. We also used tar in the holes we drilled before screwing anything down. Make sure you make the holes in your roof watertight again! Mark is incorrect.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott

Antennas do not work well at all if there is any metal involved. We recommend that if you have a heat shield, foil backed sheathing, tin roof, etc. that you mount the antenna on the roof to get up and over the potential metal blockage.

The roof coating (Dicor) works great on seams by filling small gaps and cracks. I would do the Dicor first, followed by the Eternabond and a final coat over everything. Better safe than sorry as they say.

I would NOT recommend using on a roof at all, regardless of the roofing material. Best used on concrete surfaces; driveways, walkways, pavers, etc.

No. The package includes tracks that fit into already-installed side rails, along with the cross rails. If you have no side rail elements of any kind already on your roof then this package is not sufficient, sorry.

It has a small plastic wheel on each side of the bottom of the cutter assembly, so I don't think it would scratch a metal roof.

Yes it can be strapped to a pvc pipe... Hard to answer your question about how highpast your metal roof. You would have to experiment with heights. I have mine in our atticstretched across the peak of the roof but we have NO metal roof. Outside is always better...

I used this fan to replace an existing electric fan that the motor went bad. If your tile roof has an existing fan it may work for you but if not you may need professional installation.

probably not a problem. The only reason I'm not sure is because I've only used it on blacktop. but I would give it a try on roof tiles

Sorry Orville, but I don't know. I used it on a basement cement wall and floor where it worked very well. You might want to contact the manufacturer regarding adherence to other materials. It seems to be a lightweight material and could work well for you if it will stick to the roof surface.

Hello, we have a metal roof and it worked for less than two months. But I don't believe it had anything to do with the roof. We have an old fashion roof antenna that works very well.

The PDF on installation describes roof nails, and siding nails. http://www.jameshardie.com/pdf/install/hardieplank-hz5.pdfDepending on the substrate, installation will vary. This is a roofing nail gun which has worked quite well for me, and may possibly work on this siding, if piercing and holding are the only considerations but it is likely it is not the best choice generally for this material.

Yes most definitely! I ran several fasteners into some wood to test it out before working on my metal roof and it functioned well. The screws for metal roofing go into wood anyways:-)

If it was me, I would call a roofing contractor with knowledge on this type of roof. Doesn't sound DIY friendly to me. But those are my limits, not yours.
