A roof mounting assembly includes rows of pans mounted to the understructure of a roof by hooking the pans around support tracks. Rows of roofing panels are mounted over the respective rows of pans with adjacent roofing panels generally abutting each other to create a joint located above the central area of an underlying pan so that the pan acts as a barrier to prevent rain water and the like from flowing through the joint and directly to the understructure. By using underlying pans to prevent leakage, it is possible to minimize the amount of panel overlapping. The panels are preferably mounted to the tracks by separate hook members. The upper end of each panel is between and against an overlying panel and an underlying track.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A covering assembly for covering a roof or side of a structure comprising an understructure, a plurality of spaced parallel tracks mounted to said understructure, each of said mounting tracks having a base portion secured to said understructure and an intermediate connecting portion extending away from said base portion with an offset portion extending away from said intermediate portion generally parallel to said base portion, said offset portion terminating in a bent end extending toward said base portion, a plurality of covering panels, each of said covering panels having an exposed side and an underside, a resilient clip mounted around said panel and detachably hooked to said offset portion of said track, said clip having a first free end disposed against said exposed side of said panel and a second free end extending around said offset portion of said track, said second free end terminating in a bent portion hooked around said bent end of said offset portion, and said panels being disposed in rows with each of the panels in a respective row detachably mounted to one of said tracks and with said rows of panels overlapping each other.
