  ah, the merry-making of the holidays, complete with eggnog, gifts, and a house festooned with twinkling Christmas lights. A beautiful sight to behold. We at Designer Roofing are here to assist you with protecting your home during the holiday season, whether you're just looking for a pretty Christmas decoration or are engaged in a full-fledged competition to be more impressive than your neighbors, we've got you covered.
  
  The only thing to keep in mind is that you shouldn't staple Christmas lights to the Metal roofing of your house. Simply put, that's all there is to it.
  
  In almost every scene of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold serves as a cautionary tale about what not to do in the holiday season. Even in the face of this, many people believe that using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights is an acceptable method of decoration. Yes, but isn't it also true that it's a quick and inexpensive solution?
  
  This is completely erroneous information! Anything that penetrates your Metal roof shingles, no matter how it is accomplished, leaves a weak point that can lead to cracking, moisture intrusion, and long-term water damage that will be costly to repair in the long run. An effective stone coated steel roofing shields your home and family from the elements to the greatest extent that it is capable of protecting them from the elements. Never, ever drill or staple holes into the surface of your Metal Metal roof, regardless of whether you're planning to use screws, nails, or staples to hold the materials together.

   

  

  
  It is also possible that the staples will cause the plastic coating on your Christmas lights to rub against the staples, exposing the wiring and posing a fire and electrocution risk to you and your family.
  
  It is recommended that you use special insulated staples with a plastic cover when attaching Christmas lights to your Metal roofing. It is also important to ensure that the lights are attached to wood trim rather than to the shingles on your Blue metal Metal roofing panels when attaching Christmas lights to your Metal roof.

  Plastic light clips, as well as other ingenious alternatives, are available
  
  A pair of plastic light clips will quickly become your new best friend once you learn how to use them. Additionally, these items are readily available at home improvement stores and on the internet, in addition to being reasonably priced. The most important thing to remember is that they will not cause any damage to your Metal roofing. A fantastic resource for the wide variety of styles available, Christmas Lights Etc is a must-visit. They have an excellent guide for hanging larger C7 or C9 bulbs, mini lights, icicle lights, or an eye-popping combination of all of these lights and more.
  
  If at all possible, use clips to hold gutters, eaves, and siding in place to keep them from falling off the house. When exposed to high winds, the majority of plastic light clips can be used to attach shingles as well, but they can cause abraded surfaces on the shingles as well as granule loss.
