Good Morning
I have another metal roofing question.
I have just finishing decking my house 29 squares, 5 on 12, in very hot and humid South Louisiana.
Now I am about to install (have someone else install) a metal roof 26 gauge siliconized polyester colony green.
Should I install 1 X 4 furing, maybe 2 X 4 furing or install it directlly onto the 30# felt??

Even though my climate is opposite yours, I would definately fur it out. Could you also vent that space via ventilated soffit? Thinking about getting something between the deck and direct sun...less radiation into the attic space=lower cooling cost?

i'd ask the guy install'n it what he'd like to see... ask him about what he wants in the valleys ect... i usually have used metal hat track for this vs 1x's

but if you fur out in a hurricane zone, you will lose your roof everytime. better to tar paper and lay flat.
