Carl: How did you attach the "astrofoil" to the roof? Staple it over the roof supports?

---

Carol, I stapled the foil on top of the trusses.Astro Foil


I then nailed on the purlins (roof support) boards. roof supports

Followed by the roof steel Roof

I'm sure that one could staple the foil on the bottom of the roof supports & do the same thing, but instead of staples I think I would use nail caps, as staples might tend to pull through the foil in time.
