The screws go in the ridge for two reasons: 1) If there is any chance of a leak it can run off and not lay in the valley. 2) 50mm screws are made to allow for the ridge space in between the timber.
You did on the ridge instead of the valley, what size screws did you use? I want to make sure I have enough screw to secure into my purlins by going on the ridge.
There's no debate BTW. On a roof the screw always goes on the peak. Always! Just think about water flow! In Japan they are even made with a curved plastic cap to ensure that's the only way to install it. HOWEVER, when installing the corrugated sheets as vertical cladding - THEN you put the screw in the valley for maximum contact.
Wait. On the ridge or in the valley? The mic got scratchy :( I hate heights too. I'm considering throwing up a pond liner or a tarp instead because I don't have a husband to do it for me lol
Was looking for tips on installing that kind of metal on my carport. Appreciate the video. Manufacturer was recommending even more overlap, and using "double sided butyl tape" on the joints. I suppose it depends how water tight you want it. For a goat barn perfection probably isn't needed. Likewise for my carport. How has your barn gone? It's been 3 years since you built it. Any leaks or other problems? As for putting the screws in peaks or valleys, I see mfg says peaks but they don't say why. I'll guess it's because water can settle in the valleys.
I installed a roof on a structure without the tape and I could not believe how much water got in through that joint. Tearing it off and doing it over today. Also, screws in the valleys leaked, I'm putting them up top this time.
Beautiful work and your care to detail is great. With an open walled goat shed like this, would condensation be an issue like an enclosed living area? I'm not a weatherman-meteorologist-rain-hydrometer-person. Thanks in advance, sir.
Nice video buddy! I have a few questions, would appreciate if you can help me out. 1.-What is the roof made of? Is that the same roof that third world countries use to roof their houses? Is it galvanized stainless steel? 2.-How resistant is it over time in the presence of all-year sun and sporadic rains? 3.-What metal gauge do you recommend if I´m going to use it in my patio for my home gym? The area I´ll cover will be 49 squared feet Thanks in advance!
This was the first of three roofs we have done on the homestead now. So far no leaks with just lapping them. They do need to be straight and perfectly parallel to each other.
Does the heat from the sun conduct enough to make the underneath hot? Making a patio cover the same way and curious if I should coat the top with something
We didn't. My roof is too high up for me to worry about. This stuff is so thin I am not sure you could dull it enough. You could try sand paper or a file.
how far apart are the studs and what gauge is that metal? your posts go all the down into the ground? It would seem that an Arrow 10x15 carport is not a bad deal at $750?
The roof rafters are 2 feet apart, the metal is real thin, I bought it at Lowes. the barn sits on cinder blocks. As for price, I have a saw mill, so lumber cost me my time. Thanks for stopping by!
Can someone tell me how many screws to buy??? And 1 inch or 2 inch??? I’m doing a 500 sq ft coverage, 22 sheets that are 10ft long and 8 sheets that are 12 ft long
Are using 2' horizontal centers on your field sheets? Are you attaching straight to wood or plywood? If so I reccomend 1 1/2" neoprene fasteners in the field and caulking and 1/2" neoprene fasteners on 1' centers on the vertical overlapping metal panels. Without counting the square feet it may help to purchase 1 bag of each size of fasteners and see how long they last. BTW when marking your horizontal lines use blue or a light colored caulk don't use red because red is permanent...
Dark Dan ok so we decided to put it over plywood. We were gonna do just on top of the beams (not sure if thats what the are called, but the 2x4 going across. But we decided to put plywood becaue tempd here reach 120-125 degrees. Is a cart port. We want to minimize the heat radiating down. Why the caulking? Caulking will not resist temps here. No rain. Very dry weather. Desert down in south california.
Dark Dan i did buy 1 1/2 neoprene fastners but I wasn’t considering the plywood. Its gonna be the 22/32 in width. Something like that. Its a little over half an inch.
@@aditadiablita I would skip the caulking if you're in arid area, may suggest hi temperature ice and water shield, the heat from the metal roofing may dry rot the plywood. I'm not completely sure about the design of your carport but you may need some information on headwall, rake edge, and eave metal flashing. 1-1/2" fasteners pass through your plywood and prevent wind blow offs.
I don't remember what it was then, but right now at lowes it is about $27 for a 12 foot sheet. We are about to get more for a new smaller barn for our new buck that will be coming soon.
My alologies for that. Since this video we have started using external microphones and we are currently saving up for a better camera with directional microphone Thanks for watching!

Thank you
Just a tip, pre drilling steel makes it go a lot easier
I know you said don't worry about it, but you gave me anxiety when you stood on the top step. Lol. Good job!
You should’ve snapped a chalk line to have all of your fasteners in line
Good job Sir.
Hey! Really good DIY. Thanks for posting.
nice work it looks great! You must have really tall goats that roof is pretty high. Ha ha

It depends on your fastener type. The manufacturers instructions say nail at the peaks and screws for valleys.
What did you connect your roof beams (front to back) with to the cross beam that’s connected to the posts

Maybe a string. Top or bottom to line up panels for square🫡

The one man Army,
real human beings,
I see you didn't use double-sided tape,did it leak?
Your an awesome teacher
People in Guatemala live in this type of structures with metal beams
First time doing a metal roof myself but is this water proof or do I need to do anything extra after laying and lap the tin honestly stuck
This was the first of three roofs we have done on the homestead now. So far no leaks with just lapping them. They do need to be straight and perfectly parallel to each other.
Not the special screws Tony mentions...they have a rubber grommet backing to seal against water.
Nice box
Shouldn’t the iron be with the corrugated groves running downward??
Makes sense to screw the ridge less water. Valley all water...
What’s a rough estimate for just the sheeting alone for a roof this size?
Does the heat from the sun conduct enough to make the underneath hot? Making a patio cover the same way and curious if I should coat the top with something
It doesn't seem to be a problem. We have used this roofing on two barns for the goats and the bunny bunker.
I like to learn doing house renovation
We’re gonna get you a parachute Joey!!😁
How do you smooth the edges? I covered the lid to my nesting box with this metal and its so sharp
We didn't. My roof is too high up for me to worry about. This stuff is so thin I am not sure you could dull it enough. You could try sand paper or a file.
Try put a crush and fold on the metal if its a square peice if its round not to sure
good job!
What size are your furring strips?
Do you have plans for your goat barn? It looks just like what I am looking for on my property.
Sorry, no we do not. I just kind of built it.
It is too thin. When I added the rain water collection I layed a board over it and walked on the board.
What are those screws called?
Wow! How tall are your goats?
What size are purlins
Did you put a cap on the higher edge at all for rain protection? Im building something similar. Thanks!
No,I did not. The metal sticks out over the wood, and there is a fascia board in the front as well.
My wife feels the same way about heights. We both appreciate your wife's sacrifice
Lol

What type of screws did you use?
I use these from Lowes www.lowes.com/pd/Teks-9-x-1-1-2-in-Zinc-Plated-Zinc-Plated-Self-Drilling-Roofing-Screws-400-Count/50429974
Did you install any type of ventilation cap on the high side by the overhang ?
The soffit on both front and back is just screening. This way there is ventilation for the whole barn.
Is the install the same for a home?
Yeah depending were you live some countys require plywood under the metal roof

How much did that metal cost?

God bless us
AWESOME
I am sure you are excellent in your ability but I couldn't hear a thing you were saying - which is REALLY frustrating
My alologies for that. Since this video we have started using external microphones and we are currently saving up for a better camera with directional microphone
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the tips!
I hope that it won't matter that I used regular screws with no plastic washer :/
Yeah 😂 it matters
always screw on the ridge, never the valley, usually only need screws every 24 inches in either diretion
I show you how to do it right f work
SIMON FUCKING COWELL!
