Should this be stapled to the roof truss as one picture shows, or secured to the bottom of the truss laying on top of insulation, also shown?

We stapled ours to the trusses of our low-pitched roof. If you put it right on top of the insulation, it'll act as a vapor barrier, which you may or may not want.

i would cover the insulation so that it provides better protection from elements. neither way is wrong.

You can either staple it to the roof truss or alternatively stapled to the joices / bottom of truss on top of insulation. It all depends on your environment [in my situation, I did it to the bottom of the roof truss as it was in my garage where the bottom of the truss is open and used for storage, etc] and the RadiantGUARD website lists many different possible applications for the foil.

I have this unit on the outside panel, of course its partially protected by roof overhang. unless you've handle high voltage repairs/installs before I would have an electrician do this! after all, you're not surge protected...

We used clips to hold the canopy up, but it wasnt failproof. I ended up cutting the canopy off completely even though now i wont be able to use it outside now.

Yes, I would advise securing it somehow, or maybe not leaving it in harms way during extreme weather conditions.....

the roof is one piece and then you can put the netting on or leave it off if you like.held on with velcro strips easy on and off

This hook is dangerous or impossible to use on a metal roof! That said, if you are using it on a shingle roof it would be best to remove the lower section of the extension ladder. This gives you more hook to grip over the top with since the bottom section is making the ladder twice as thick. You also need two hooks, not one. If you are the least bit uneasy hanging on a steep roof, save your money and don't try to use these things.

Yes, it should be secured. I drilled a hole in each side and fastened it with cable ties

I think that a better resolution to your problem would be to apply strips of EPDM roofing materiel over the joint that you want to reinforce.So far as applying this over silicone, I don't know if that would work or not.

Since it is recommended to stake the building when it is at ground level, it would seem even more important to stake it if it sits on a roof. I couldn't address this issue based on personalexperience, but the fact that you would have to deal with additional wind at that height wouldworry me.

Used a piece of electrical conduit.....cut it to the size I needed and fastened it to a wall on the roof. A good hardware store can help u on that!

Instructions don't indicate use on a metal roof, but I do. Be careful how you attach it to the metal roof-you don't want any more holes than you already have! (It might work to find a type of hook that can be attached with the same screw that is already in place) I just clipped it on the edges the best I could and drooped it into the guttering. I put mine down about a foot into the down spout. It works for me.

I'd say yes. You probably will be able to lay them side by side, bindings up. Or stack two together...if you stack two together, you may want to add an additional bungee or strap to hold the boards to the Block Wrap. This will protect your roof!

As per the description, the tape should be placed at the seams (or along the edge where two materials meet). As for how much to use, in your case I would place it ALL along the edges so no wind gets under a gap and prys up on the panel. You'd likely want a seamless bond all along the edge.

yes, i stapled it to the bottom of ceiling joist with great results.. just staple on every joist

I don't think it's about visibility but more about not capturing and holding heat between the Radiant Guard and the underside of the roof. I'm sure you could just staple it from one joist to the next I just don't think it would be as efficient. It is incredibly easy to handle. We just cut it into strips the length and width to fill each gap between the joists and stapled away.

You can anchor it to anything but I don't think the posts are suitable for anchoring in the ground. They are too short and hollow. I think in time they would settle and then lower your roof. Mixing the concrete for the footing was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. Don't know why you'd skip it.
