Fantastic job! Everything you've done is top quality. Good to see you put plenty on good sized purlins in. It makes it so much easier to work too 🤠😁 🇬🇧
Yeah. I'm weary of metal roofing. First, it's very loud when it rains. Second, if that coating comes off it's going to rust. And third, it's not as durable as today's PVC roofing.
how do you keep the bees and wasps out of the roof?? what goes at the end of the low end of the roof? or on the ridge cap? some type of screen that allows air flow but stops the insects? maybe i didn't watch closely enough... great video apart from that, thanks.
Some say If you don't sheath and felt the roof the metal will condensate. Others Say you can't just felt over the stripping because the metal wont be able to expand and contrast.. I don't know what to believe lol
@@BreakFreeHomestead Tried a basic nibbler too. Wanders easily and leaves tiny shards of metal everywhere. Honestly, a good set of off-set snips are worth the money. Snips pinch the paint layers closed leaving the edge more resistant to rusting. Cut-off wheel burns the paint and exposes the edge to rust.
No it wont drip back, and theres a decent overhang so you don't have to worry. I believe they have an optional drip kit for a more finished look on most of their kits.
@@pimc172 That roof was a small project would not the addition of plywood and tar paper long term benefit greatly outweigh the upfront cost? What is the downside that underlayment is not considered?
@@hippo-potamus I don't see any benefit of adding plywood and tar paper. I see post and beam built like that all the time. In my projects i use 1x6 shiplap and tar paper but honestly it's for the look from underside
@@pimc172 And you also put purlins and secure the panels to that? Im asking because Im on the planing stages of building a 16x16 shed with metal roof and many forums say that the plywood is well worth the cost long term in the sense of increased water protection if the rubber fails on the screws, added protection against impacts, sound damping, condensation, and insulative properties during hot summers, plus the structure is protected if panels ever need replacement. Im weighing that against my constant almost OCD to over build. So opinions like yours are helpful and appreciated.
All that equipment he's wearing and he doesn't realize you never use a hole punch on metal? The screws for metal are self tappers, you simple put a little tension on the screw and it burrows right thru metal. Also, I was told by the manufacturer I bought mine off of that screwing thru the ridges voids the warranty, so make sure you ask the seller about the warranty specifics, that's something building material sellers rarely bring up amongst sale.
Exactly the video I needed for my metal roof project! Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!

Thanks Liam! Right? much easier to zip around the roof.
@@BreakFreeHomestead yes, especially on a steep roof.

Can hang a bag up in the roof that looks like a wasp nest to deter them.
Great Job...really enjoying the work you are doing!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the support.
What kind of wood is the strapping? 1x?
When i look it up, all that comes up is furrings, and it says they're not meant to support weight..
Hi GM house looks great
Can I know please what kind of metal is used for roof? Is it any specific metal? and what is the thickness of the metal?
Looks great awesome job! Do you know the gauge of the metal panels, e.g. 26ga or 29ga?
How long are your rafters? Seeing If I can get away with doing 12ft rafters on my 12x16 shed
Won’t the wind push rain up and under the cap along the peak?
I would have thought you would have a rubber or foam type gasket for roof crown. I am afraid of moisture and the direct air flow will lead to rot
How would this rot? This is an unheated, uninsulated building? This still has airflow with the cap.
Is that the screw pattern that they specified? I’ve never seen a metal roof screwed off that way.
Yup, it’s screwed off right! 🤫
hi thanks for posting this. what is the spacing of the strapping/

Cut-off wheel was a mistake I made too. Jagged mess with a rust prone edge. Much better to take the panel off and use snips.
Yea, i think it could rust whatever way you cut it without refinishing. A nibbler might be the way to go.
unfortunately i dont work with metal all the time.

@@BreakFreeHomestead Me neither. Just finished my own shed, so self taught. (The things we learn on the journey eh?).
It looks amazing. Boing that you are not using ply wood or Osborn underneath the metal panels, will it get hot in the summer?
Serious question. Do you not need flashing or roof edge? Do you have any water issues? I’m thinking of doing it the same way you did just curious

Ok, it's been like a year. How's it holding up? Would you have done anything different?
I actually build this for a customer, they never said they had any issues. The thing was pretty solid
I wanted to see how you trimmed out the gables
Let's see how many leaks we can have in sticks
Why no plywood and tar paper underlayment on roof?
Not needed.
@@pimc172 Why no foam strip on the ridge cap?

Good videos thanks 😊🎉
Good video thanks 👍
Aren't you supposed to use foam seal under each side of ridge cap?
Hmm, what does that do? minimize the air flow?
@@BreakFreeHomestead I think it is preventing water from coming under the ridge cap
Can't imagine why you would use aluminum flashing between the two rows of roofing panels?
It's what it called for, probably because its from a change of slope. Although this one is barely noticeable.
@@BreakFreeHomestead Smart idea, gives you a little extra insurance from leaks, wind etc. It's a shed after all.
what size are purlins?
Don’t understand why the screws are not all on the ribs.
Okay.
Because there's nothing under the ribs, and the manufacturers say to put the screws in the flats.

@@Dirtydetective the punch wasn't for the screws to get through, it's for getting them perfectly in line.
No rope to keep you from falling off :O where's your safety harness.
wtf
