Make Shingles and Siding Out of Aluminum Cans (Beer Can Roof)

Step 7 Attach Shingles

If you were doing this on a big roof where you had to walk around, avoid stepping on the shingles by working from one end of the roof up to the caps and then across. When attaching, staple the shingles about 1/3 of the way down from the top; I used two staples per shingle.

Thanks, wait until you see my next aluminum can project. I hope it works. I'm just getting started for entry into the laser cutter contest.
