Hi all - planing our roof for the cabin - i have very heavy duty metal roof sheets that you can just about walk on - and id like to install them with an air gap as they emit heat - the old 70s land rovers actually had an optional 2nd roof for this reason.

How could I do this above the underlayment as I cannot have joists OVER the underlayment.

This is a lean to roof so very straight forward. Possibly space the roof sheets off the structure? and can I put radiant osb underneath the underlayment with shiny side up?
