im not sure about US build codes but Australian standards require screws to be put in the ridge because the water runs down the valley which will cause leaks if the screws are placed in the low point, you dont have to squash the tin down just firmly snug and straight so the rubber seals nicely
You are a genius. I have always put the screws on the ridge but have hated not being able to really tighten the screws down. The PVC is a genius idea. It allows you the ability to sink the screws into the roof through the ridges without collapsing the ridge. :)
Great decision heath. That system will serve you well for many many years. I didnt know you were re using a tin that was previously installed. So doing the rolled roofing first is the best way. House will serve generations of the family!
Don't worry about all the people commenting that you get a chest harness. I see you holding on to that strap. That's more than most roofers and builders out there use. Way to be safe. And also, love how you are using your brain to come up with ingenious ideas!
nice job. still don't understand why you don't get a basic harness set for like 100 bucks. you'll save so much time being able to use both hands working up there and you'll much safer.
Really inspiring to see someone who is so hard working and smart, do what my fiancé and I plan to do. Hopefully we can buy our land and get a loan for our build soon. May god continue to bless your endeavors :) keep it up!

I agree with the comment below about not putting the Tin over the granules without a least a slip layer of 15# felt. In researching metal roofing for my shop that has roll roofing, I came across this warning several place. The down side for skipping is the life span of the Tin which you got for free anyway. The two inch air space will keep the roof cooler in the summer and make the roll underpayment last longer. Also in winter, it vents the moisture coming from the living space and keeps it from freezing on the inside surface of the cold OSB, rotting the OSB from the inside when it melts. Don't know if it gets cold enough in your location for this to be an issue or not. I know they take great care bout this in Alaska where it gets well below freezing for weeks. Skip the PVC -- it's just going to cold flow anyway on the first warm day of summer and do nothing to keep the washers compressed.
nice ideas there red - my old man built a 'barn house' from new in northwest illinois long time ago - putting those screws thru into the rafters is an excellent way to accomplish what you want. brisk seasonal prairie winds started blowing the regular asphalt shingles off it not long after it was roofed AND the centrally positioned cupola...wind driven moisture worked its way under the tin siding in no time flat...(it got un-sided & wrapped in sticky back bituminous and seal caulked when it was re-done also.)
Put battens down to space the 'tin' off the roof by at least 1/2" and then us the correct roofing screws and shaped rubber washers on the peaks- no need for the cut down pvc. In Australia we use a lot of 'tin' roofing this way and it lasts a long, long time in hard weather conditions including torrential rain storms and cyclones, not to mention the baking heat.
Screw tin down on every second hump..... People say u dont need too. But i did and the houses around me didnt. we had a storm. my roof stayed on. theres didnt. It does make a Difference. Keep up the good work.
The metal has another positive effect for where you are in that it has a lower friction with a the snow. a good amount of the snow will automatically get fall off due to the slop and lower friction but what dosen't you can use a wheeled blade on a pole to slide along the metal detaching the snow pack to get the heavy snow off the building. Metal roofs are also cleaner on rain water collection systems then asphalt due to the lack of gravel.
Your doing a great job, there are fasteners with washers that will protect your roof. But please purchase the harness safety first and protect your family!
Not sure why you aren't using something like Grace Ice and Water. I know it is more money, but it is the right product for the job. Like how you are using the PVC pipe. And please get a chest harness!
Did metal roofs for many years, never put the metal over granulated roofing. The metal expands and contracts and will wear thru eventually. Every metal roof laid over asphalt shingles had tar paper between them
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
Here in the northeast, we use an ice dam matt. that prevents ice damming! It seals every nail and protects the underlayment! Well worth the money! Would work well there for you! No other product needed and it seals down with a few nails, then the tin would be sealed at every screw! Prob. to far now but thought if not it would be well worth the criticism! good luck!
Heath thought you might enjoy this: my 7 year old roof was damaged by freak hail storm. The new asphalt singled roof, partially covered by insurance, for my roughly 3000 sq ft 2 story home was over $23,000. It leaked and I had them back to fix it 3 times plus paint the spots on the kitchen ceiling. Now every time we have a bad rainstorm I still cringe.

The PVC is a good fix on used tin. Sorry about the blank comment, phone is having issues. If you are getting sloppy in your age and winter, then there is a real good reason to get a harness.
I don't think that the PVC spacer is necessary because if you over tighten the screw the rubber washer will just compress too much and squeeze out around the screw and won't seal at all. The rubber is quite soft to shape to the radius of the corro ridge. The security of the roof is more affected by the number of screws, not how tight they are. Here in Oz we screw every second ridge at the top and bottom and every third ridge in the intermediate rows spaced 600mm ( about two feet ) but we run battens across the rafters to fix the corro to because fixing only into the rafters is too far apart: no much snow here but lots of cyclones and the only roofs that is see come off still have the rafters attached to it. Also, a safety harness frees up your other hand so more than doubling productivity and greatly ease's the load on your back. Good luck with it all, another great vid. Thanks
Sounds like you have this well thought out.. This house will last for generations. I'm no safety Sally, but I agree.. Get yourself a harness.. What good is all of this if you fall off and break your back so you can't finish it? Or worse.... Be safe up there..
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
If You Want To Build A Reliable Shed, You Need Knowledge of Foundations, Piling, Planning and More ... So I'm giving you a comprehensive "how-to" guide on the basics of woodworking. Go here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com*
Here in Florida you see the roofers use a propane blow torch to seal the seams on the flat roof homes. I was told the rolled roofing will fuse together. Good thinking on the rolled roofing. Your tin looks purity thin :)
You have a lot of comments about you not using a safety harness. I agree with the comments it would be a heap more safe for you and you'll have both hands free.
You gonna hate that roll roofing by the end of the job. A peel and stick ice and water shield would be much much quicker and easier and will truly seal around each screw.
I know this is a late late comment, but the steel roof that I use has channels made for where the screws attach. They are 36" wide and have three valleys for securing. So the screws they use have a washer on the bottom and the channels you use to attach the pieces also has a spongy glue-like adhesive on it.
It looks good I like the idea of screwing it down firm I think over time the wind would back the screws out looks really good I'm on the same page as you.... Over kill that way you do it once....
Buddy, you have really thought this through. Hope this worked out. We used the tin as a decorative siding on one architectural area. Used galvanized... 4 years later, still looks great. It is different than the weathered look you ate going for, however it adds just enough. We get compliments on it all the time. I think I would use water tight washers at the nail points. We used it as siding over the existing siding, so it was an overlay and nail points didn't matter.
Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?
there are special rubber washer with a curve, designed to be used at the top of the curve of your tin. I always learned to use screws at the top because you have less water at the tops (it flows to the valleys)
God doesn't bless foolishness !! James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Tin, when put over any granular roofing, will get tiny holes worn in it, from the metal expanding and contracting on top of the granules. Think 20 grit sandpaper...
In Finland metal roofs were nailed with washers + rubber seal on the ridges. The nails lifted due to thermal expansion and contraction and then it leaked. Now all corrugated steel sheet roofs are screwed in the valleys with self-drilling screws which have washers and rubber seals. It really works. Screws like www.rakentaja.fi/artikkelit/13437/peltikattojen_asennusruuveja_ei.htm
What you are doing is good (over kill but good) but you need to put your tin on furing strips for more air flow or you will cook your roll roofing watch Matt Litsinger's the huild show on TH-cam
I wonder if the PVC edges will cut/melt into the roofing in the heat, loosen the screws and and rubber washers, and maybe compromise the roofing to cause cracking in the winter. (I overthink too)
Agree with others - get a harness. The 'bucket' kits are great for your needs and will run $89.00 - $119.00 & that includes rope, anchor, anchor lags, etc. Also as long as the harness has not been 'unsprung' (meaning it hasn't released) you can get them cheap on ebay - if necessary. I really wish you'd have gone with purlins 1x4. That would provide an air gap for circulation, reduces noise, etc etc. You're now going to have expansion issues etc.. ;(
Good video, like the overkill on the roof. I would just be a little conscious about the expansion and contraction of the roof sheets. Just make sure all the fixings are into more than osb to stop them being pulled loose with expansion movement over time. I guess if your sheets are not full length this will be minimal anyway.. I think your doing right putting the screws in the ridge of the profile as the valleys are only small, in a box profile the valley is wide and water doesn’t dam behind the fixings. As always time will tell but would imagine the install is going to last as long as the roof sheets anyway 👍 Keep up the good work
the use of "tin" is very well known in other countries.Screws with rubber washers in the peaks.We run purlins across the rafters at about 3 ft centres and fix the tin to them We have absornebt paper under the iron.You will get condensation under the tin in cool weather .You must have ventilation under the tin.to dru that cons]densation.I am sure there are resources for you to find out how tin is layed
Great idea using the split pvc pipe under the ridges. But, if I were you, and I was last year! I would cover all the old holes and the new fasteners in the metal with 50 year clear silicon caulking. That will not change the look of the roof (from a dozen feet away you cannot even see the daubs of caulking) and will give a great deal of security to your roof. Remember, water will follow your screws into the roof. Give water an inch and it will take a mile!! Next roof I do I am stealing your idea!!!!
That's a very unique roof. But A+ for using recycled materials. I'd mention the safety harness as countless others have but.... just don't fall off the roof Heath. :)
Will you please stop & go buy yourself a chest harness ! The way your working is a accident waiting to happen! If you slip and fall do you really think your going to be able to save yourself trying to hold on to that strap?? Think of your family ! 25 years construction experience talking !
My friends husband fell off the roof of a house he was flipping. He is paralyzed from the waist down and suffered a closed head injury. Please think of your family. This is who your doing it for after all.
Alert! Alert! Safety Sally Alert! The man is building a house for his family and doing it in a fashion as close as many of our ancestors did... pure grit and determination and with what they had! Not with the luxuries of being able to conform to the confines for which corporate insurance companies demand! He is building a house as man should do, not as a safety compliance officer would dictate! With this kind of :safety" mentality, perhaps he shouldn't be working alone, working in sub-zero temps (he could catch pneumonia) ,..... Gosh, I hope he scrubs under his nails every night before he goes home to family and spreads God knows what kind of bacteria! RED POPPY, I am truly sorry if this comment is not appropriate and I understand if you delete it, but dang it! I am sick and tire of this, sorry for lack of better term, pansy-gotcha-not-being-safe mentality and comments! Man the heck up people!
the waffle boards are designed for one of many different corrugation rates, specify the corrugations per panel width or valley to crest dimensions.. neoprene washered Screws go in valleys. use waffles at edges to keep varmints out. You gotta work smarter not harder. rope off while working alone on a roof.
Retired home improvement contractor: It's probably too late by now but I'll tell you anyway. Metal roofing is too be installed over a 20 or 30 lb tar felt paper, roof wrap or firring boards. If installed over asphalt or fiberglass roll roofing what happens is the metal expands and contracts due to the heat causing the metal to rub against the granules causing raw metal wear then rusting out. Galvanize does rust even with a scratch. I've seen many roofs needing a replacement after 3,4,5 yrs. Kept us busy. I'm not saying, I'm just saying Good luck!
A harness is a good idea, but I grew up working on roofs and there wasn't such a thing - and I'd ride bike on that pitch. I'd think where the tin overlaps, you'd need no support underneath. The pvc sticks are an interesting idea. I'd consider tapping them in place on the tin before install, just to keep it simple.
No please use Batons first screws in the ridge only use a PVC washer under screw head what you are planning is NOT overkill you need this also you need PVC washers under each screw to stop water leaking down the screw body ok and if you use batons say 2"x"2 you allow air to circulate under the tin this is so important ,Paul
Always screw to the peak on roof and valley on the wall.... what you need is vented plastic roof strip to alow air but stop wind blown water from going under the tin....
Still no fall arrest harness? Heath, you can buy an ansi approved fall arrest system at Lowes for around $100 brand new. A worthy investment for your safety. If you slip and fall, holding on to that strap isn't going to be very likely to stop you. Please consider an actual safety harness. BTW, the system at Lowes is complete with tie-off rope and harness (complete system. I roofed for years, and fell a few times, and because I am no spring chicken any more, my wife made me get the safety system. I am so glad she did because while on my metal roof some debris took my feet out from under me and the harness system stopped me at the edge. We're getting older, buddy, and we don't bounce back from injuries as quickly any more. I wish you a safe job. God bless.
Why not use ridge vent instead of individual vents? Then you would ventilate each of your rafter cavities and you would not need any ridge pieces for the metal at the peak. Using individual vents will only ventilate the rafters where those vents are.
When the music began I thought I was listening to a Johnny Cash song titled "I once met a 96 year old man." It turned out to be you narrating the video.
I'd like to know what you do for work or income... all this great work your doing cost money for all the stuff I see in your videos?? Keep it up great work
Hi, I’ve been watching you for some time now, and I just wanted to share a link with you. This guy has a spring on his land and used it make hydroelectric. I’m sure you said in one if your videos that you have a spring also. Just thought it might be of use to you. 👍
Why not just put some sort of industrial adhesive and blob it on and stick the tin on that? You're already tar'ing the asphalt to the underlayment. You said yourself it's just for looks anyway. Then no screw penetration through your roofing. Or you already have some, wouldn't a huge blob of that tar work? It should dry hard, but might turn soft again under high heat. Not sure but there has to be something you can do. Do they make gun tubes of Gorilla Glue?

1 man building his house from ground up...holy!!! You sir are not human your a machine I say that in my (Russian voice).
Put battens down to space the 'tin' off the roof by at least 1/2" and then us the correct roofing screws and shaped rubber washers on the peaks- no need for the cut down pvc. In Australia we use a lot of 'tin' roofing this way and it lasts a long, long time in hard weather conditions including torrential rain storms and cyclones, not to mention the baking heat.
Damn fine idea!! That roof will last forever!! Will never need to re roof again!!

Screw tin down on every second hump..... People say u dont need too. But i did and the houses around me didnt. we had a storm. my roof stayed on. theres didnt. It does make a Difference. Keep up the good work.

I have been waiting for this project! Great video!
Stay safe, take your time; I will be glade when you finish all the work on the roof.
Me too!
Corrugated tin is very common on older houses in New Mexico. ALL of them put the screw on the ridge. The valleys flow the water.
The metal has another positive effect for where you are in that it has a lower friction with a the snow. a good amount of the snow will automatically get fall off due to the slop and lower friction but what dosen't you can use a wheeled blade on a pole to slide along the metal detaching the snow pack to get the heavy snow off the building.

That roll roofing will fail prematurely and you'll be ripping it all off in 15 yrs or less
Tiny holes will be the next guys problem 40-50 years from now.
The roll roofing will fail before the tin
You are 100% correct.

Screws are on the peaks!!
Well thought out plan....terrific ideas if you ask me!
Agree with others - get a harness. The 'bucket' kits are great for your needs and will run $89.00 - $119.00 & that includes rope, anchor, anchor lags, etc. Also as long as the harness has not been 'unsprung' (meaning it hasn't released) you can get them cheap on ebay - if necessary.
I really wish you'd have gone with purlins 1x4. That would provide an air gap for circulation, reduces noise, etc etc. You're now going to have expansion issues etc.. ;(
Good video, like the overkill on the roof.
I would just be a little conscious about the expansion and contraction of the roof sheets. Just make sure all the fixings are into more than osb to stop them being pulled loose with expansion movement over time. I guess if your sheets are not full length this will be minimal anyway..
I think your doing right putting the screws in the ridge of the profile as the valleys are only small, in a box profile the valley is wide and water doesn’t dam behind the fixings.
As always time will tell but would imagine the install is going to last as long as the roof sheets anyway 👍
Keep up the good work
the use of "tin" is very well known in other countries.Screws with rubber washers in the peaks.We run purlins across the rafters at about 3 ft centres and fix the tin to them We have absornebt paper under the iron.You will get condensation under the tin in cool weather .You must have ventilation under the tin.to dru that cons]densation.I am sure there are resources for you to find out how tin is layed
Great idea using the split pvc pipe under the ridges. But, if I were you, and I was last year! I would cover all the old holes and the new fasteners in the metal with 50 year clear silicon caulking. That will not change the look of the roof (from a dozen feet away you cannot even see the daubs of caulking) and will give a great deal of security to your roof. Remember, water will follow your screws into the roof. Give water an inch and it will take a mile!! Next roof I do I am stealing your idea!!!!
I thought about the silicone idea... Probably do this.
That's a very unique roof. But A+ for using recycled materials. I'd mention the safety harness as countless others have but.... just don't fall off the roof Heath. :)
That's the plan...
Better that you know you've done all you can. For me - bad things always happen if I don't do my best with each task. Think God is helping me learn.
Nar just in through the ridge is what there designed for, it works good and any leeks in other holes just with silicone.
Will you please stop & go buy yourself a chest harness ! The way your working is a
accident waiting to happen! If you slip and fall do you really think your going to be
able to save yourself trying to hold on to that strap?? Think of your family !
25 years construction experience talking !
One slip and he won’t need to worry about breathing. 🤦🏽♂️ Buy a used safety harness if you need to save a buck. Good Lord Man!
Agreed....safety at all costs....too many "healthy" people are stuck in hospitals and disabled from 1-mistake
My friends husband fell off the roof of a house he was flipping. He is paralyzed from the waist down and suffered a closed head injury. Please think of your family. This is who your doing it for after all.
Amen to this!
Alert! Alert! Safety Sally Alert! The man is building a house for his family and doing it in a fashion as close as many of our ancestors did... pure grit and determination and with what they had! Not with the luxuries of being able to conform to the confines for which corporate insurance companies demand! He is building a house as man should do, not as a safety compliance officer would dictate! With this kind of :safety" mentality, perhaps he shouldn't be working alone, working in sub-zero temps (he could catch pneumonia) ,..... Gosh, I hope he scrubs under his nails every night before he goes home to family and spreads God knows what kind of bacteria!
RED POPPY, I am truly sorry if this comment is not appropriate and I understand if you delete it, but dang it! I am sick and tire of this, sorry for lack of better term, pansy-gotcha-not-being-safe mentality and comments! Man the heck up people!
We get frequent high winds here and your idea seems like it would be much stronger (wind resistant) than just screwing them down without the pvc.
It should be strong.
Good stuff, but PVC will become brittle with the heat it will encounter under that tin, no?
A long as it's not in direct sun light it will be fine.
Nice work man! Drink lots of water..😊
the waffle boards are designed for one of many different corrugation rates, specify the corrugations per panel width or valley to crest dimensions.. neoprene washered Screws go in valleys. use waffles at edges to keep varmints out. You gotta work smarter not harder. rope off while working alone on a roof.
Great job STAY SAFE
I hope OSHA does not see this vid.
Great job, be safe.
Retired home improvement contractor: It's probably too late by now but I'll tell you anyway. Metal roofing is too be installed over a 20 or 30 lb tar felt paper, roof wrap or firring boards. If installed over asphalt or fiberglass roll roofing what happens is the metal expands and contracts due to the heat causing the metal to rub against the granules causing raw metal wear then rusting out. Galvanize does rust even with a scratch. I've seen many roofs needing a replacement after 3,4,5 yrs. Kept us busy. I'm not saying, I'm just saying Good luck!
A harness is a good idea, but I grew up working on roofs and there wasn't such a thing - and I'd ride bike on that pitch.
I'd think where the tin overlaps, you'd need no support underneath. The pvc sticks are an interesting idea. I'd consider tapping them in place on the tin before install, just to keep it simple.
Good idea...
No please use Batons first screws in the ridge only use a PVC washer under screw head
what you are planning is NOT overkill you need this also you need PVC washers under each screw to stop water leaking down the screw body ok and if you use batons say 2"x"2 you allow air to circulate under the tin this is so important ,Paul
Super over kill bud but , should last a life time for dam sure , & the rustic & reclaimed tin , my favorite thing too , can't wait to see next vid ,
Always screw to the peak on roof and valley on the wall.... what you need is vented plastic roof strip to alow air but stop wind blown water from going under the tin....
How do you keep the screws through the tin, pvc and into the roof from leaking? There’s no way to seal them.
Still no fall arrest harness? Heath, you can buy an ansi approved fall arrest system at Lowes for around $100 brand new. A worthy investment for your safety. If you slip and fall, holding on to that strap isn't going to be very likely to stop you. Please consider an actual safety harness. BTW, the system at Lowes is complete with tie-off rope and harness (complete system. I roofed for years, and fell a few times, and because I am no spring chicken any more, my wife made me get the safety system. I am so glad she did because while on my metal roof some debris took my feet out from under me and the harness system stopped me at the edge. We're getting older, buddy, and we don't bounce back from injuries as quickly any more. I wish you a safe job. God bless.
I have a harness... I don't like them. They get in the way...
Red Poppy Ranch oh, okay. Rope rolling under foot?
Why not use ridge vent instead of individual vents? Then you would ventilate each of your rafter cavities and you would not need any ridge pieces for the metal at the peak. Using individual vents will only ventilate the rafters where those vents are.
Considered this but ridge vent with our weather may not be a good idea. Inspector wanted the goose neck vents.
If it gives you a good feeling, go for it!
IDK you do use it in US but in EU there is vapor permeable- weather repellent foils that are a must by regulation
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR O.C.D. NOT OVER THINKING WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING
Deep breather.
If it leaks under the metal, won't the water seep where the screws go into the asphalt roof?
Possibly but it will be tightened down against the PVC pipe enough where I think it will not get in.
peaks always never in the valleys cause it will leak badly
I might consider putting silicone caulking on all the existing holes in the tin. Just for extra measure
I think I will do this.
When the music began I thought I was listening to a Johnny Cash song titled "I once met a 96 year old man." It turned out to be you narrating the video.
Even the Amish around here are beginning to use real safety harnesses. Please get one.
I'd like to know what you do for work or income... all this great work your doing cost money for all the stuff I see in your videos?? Keep it up great work
Hi, I’ve been watching you for some time now, and I just wanted to share a link with you. This guy has a spring on his land and used it make hydroelectric. I’m sure you said in one if your videos that you have a spring also.
Just thought it might be of use to you. 👍

Thanks!
Very interesting. Thankyou
If , you use those screws , water will follow those screws directly , down , into the decking and finally into the walls of your.......'Home' !
joe doakes yep !!!!
How are the screws sealed under the tin?
Through the asphalt roof.
So smart.
Something to consider;
If you at one time want to catch rainwater off your roof, the water would not be healthy running across the asphalt roof.
I'm not going to catch the water off the roof. We have other ways to get good water.
Why not just put some sort of industrial adhesive and blob it on and stick the tin on that? You're already tar'ing the asphalt to the underlayment. You said yourself it's just for looks anyway. Then no screw penetration through your roofing. Or you already have some, wouldn't a huge blob of that tar work? It should dry hard, but might turn soft again under high heat. Not sure but there has to be something you can do. Do they make gun tubes of Gorilla Glue?
Chest harness. Your pushing fate.
Yes, a little overkill on the roof....so what? Better that than too little! I'm sure it will also look great when you are done.
