ABSTRACT:
A roof structure formed of overlapping rows of tiles retained in place by elongated generally horizontally extending members each of which extends along and is vertically between upper edge portions of the tiles in a first row of tiles and lower edge portions of the tiles in a second row. The tiles of the two rows preferably have flanges which are secured to opposite edges of the member. The tiles and the mentioned retaining members are secured in position by attachment to a series of parallel base boards forming a part of the substructure of the roof assembly. The tiles are strengthened at their side edges by reinforcing plates received beneath the tiles and each projecting laterally into overlapping relation with two adjacent tiles, with these elements also assisting in preventing flow of water downwardly between the side edges of adjacent tiles.
