If you want to install steel over asphalt your best choice for installing metal roofing is to use a steel shingle system like the one shown instead of the more common and more expensive standing seam steel. Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge.

Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Always begin working at the point with the longest peak to eave distance.
