Jenny Twins

[Fred in the shed]

I'm replacing a few flat concrete roof tiles. They're all nailed. I would have to strip them all the way back to the ridge to access them for nailing. Has anyone used Jenny Twin system for tiles? I understand this works for slates I'm unsure about tiles.

the clips will not work with tiles.

Remove the broken tiles, and the new ones will hook over the batten when you put them back of if you want you can bed or stick them to the course below

Thanks a lot for the reply. The tiles are flat, there isn't a nib to hook them over the batten. What would you use to stick them to the course below.

You could make your own strap out of copper or lead.
geocell 201 or stixall by everbuild will stick concrete together.

put a nail or tile peg through the hole and hook them over the batten.
They sound like they might be Hardrow slates these can be pegged (hung) with perimeters nailed.

Thanks, that sounds good.
