Probably repeating here.
Galvanized steel or copper above the area will cause rain to kill or prevent. We use copper pipes at work to keep black algae from growing in the strong acid tanks. (Put loose scrap pipes in the tank) Observed a wood shake roof with a 2 inch exposed copper strip showing under every 10th row. My next roof will have one at the peak under the capping shingles.
