Tile Installation 2

Installing the First Tile on an Out-of-Square Roof

From the corner where the eave and rake meet, measure along the eave 48 inches and mark.
From the corner of the rake and the ridge, measure along the ridge 48 inches, plus or minus the out-of-square distance determined earlier, and mark.
Snap a chalk line between these marks for tile alignment.
Now you can install the first tile with a 1" overhang. Starting at the rake edge of the tile, nail down the first corrugation so that this edge is aligned with the rake.
Now flex the tile (1" or less) so its opposite edge aligns with the chalk line. (See Figure 15 or 18.) With a shingle nail, nail in the first valley from this edge. Place a closure strip between the tile and drip-edge and nail tile in place with shingle nails (4 1/2" from top) and Ondura nails (through closure at eave). See Fig. 16 and 21. Check eave alignment to insure installation is straight.
