How do I attach foilboard to this shed roof?

Hey guys 

Needing to insulate this shed a bit

What is the best way to attach foilboard to this roof keeping in mind the smaller distances between the frame bars.

Thanks

Hi @Char1991,

 

Here's the shed installation guide for Foilboard. It looks like it would be a relatively easy installation. The board just need to be cut to size to fit within the purlins. Spacer blocks are glued to the roof sheeting with clear gutter silicone and the sheets fixed to them with silicone and/or blank plates and metal screws. The Flexi-fast fasteners can also be used. Once the sheets are in position, all seams are sealed with aluminium tape.

 

A note for our New Zealand members: The use of foil insulation products is prohibited.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thankyou.

If using screws where would I screw?

Into the face or the purlins @Char1991. You would use the screws in combination with the blank plates. The blank plate gets fixed to the face of the purlin, and the little wings retain the sheets behind them.
