Well, it's only a 10 inch span, so should be able to step on it. I wouldn't know, my roofs are all too steep to stand on! On the barn we (by 'we' I mean _me_, I had no fingerprints for a while after that, barn is ~90x40, high peaked hay mow) peeled the asphalt shingles off, left the old wood ones up, nailed the tin onto it flat. Has worked for, um, 25 years now. Most of the rest look to be tar paper or bare roof boards, with the tin nailed on top of that. One dad gotgood used aluminumn, had to put construction paper over the tarpaper, would be a bad reaction without. I think the flat 2x4s spaced 2 feet is most always a good way to go, if the weight isn't getting too much with the old shingles up there. Question: What/ how many do you use to hold the 2x4s onto the old roof? Different manufacturers have different requirements for where to put the screws (nails were all the rage when we did the roofs - screws are better of course) so look to them. Sometimes the peaks, sometimes the valleys of the tin. No one way is always right. --->Paul
