    Patent number: 5394666
    Abstract: A metal roof panel attachment system produces a finished roof surface presenting an overall smooth, planar configuration. Adjacent planar panels are attached to secondary support members which form a recessed joint incorporating a concealed drainage channel. Front and rear eave and rake sections are installed at the perimeter of the roof to form a finished, moisture-proof joint between the roof and walls.
