In memory of
Buffalo, when the time comes, remove the screws and replace with the next size bigger.
Our house has a metal roof... and we are in the south where it gets really hot so during the day we hear these popping sounds fairly frequently. Sometimes more frequently than others.
I got to thinking that it's gotta be the metal roof expanding since heat expands since there is no other activity going on in or around the house that could be causing this popping sound... and it only happens during the heat of the day.
The house only has openings on each gable end for air flow, so I'm thinking since hot air rises a logical fix for this is to take the top cap off the runs the length of the house and replace it with a cap that is vented.
Does this sound like something that would work so the hot air can have a way of escape?
If so, any recommendations on where to find a vented cap that is made for metal roofs that I assume is secured using self taping screws?
