To install a tile roof one must first place the underlayment and metal flashing. Nail a 2" cant strip flush with the eave. Then measure up the length of the tile and mark the underlayment in the position where the tile will be laid. Be sure to measure so that the tile will have a 1" overhang at the eave. For instructions on nailing tiles, look at local building codes as these will spell out precisely what is required.
