Just for future builds. Use a preacher board for your pearlings. Take a scrap 2x4 and put two nails 16 or 24 inch apart and leave them sticking out so once you have your first board on you can use the preacher board on the rest. It's called a preacher board because it doesn't lie lol
On a metal roof like that, run a screw thru the rib at the seam at the top, middle, and bottom of the panel. This is called “stitching” the panels, and helps hold those seams shut, and guarantees that the edge won’t peel up in the wind! 14:06
When you nailed down the 2x4 purlins, did you use ring shank nails? Reason I ask is I have seen so many roofs get ripped completely off 2x4 intact to the roof like a huge panel when regular nails were used. Ring shank or screws are best
What size of ringshank nails did you use? Did you use a couple of different sizes? I am building a barn next week and would appreciate what you used and your source. Thank you
We are digging next week 2ft deep 2ft wide concrete with rebar and will put 6x6x20. Me and my husband are building everything ourselves. When it comes to trusses how far apart do we install on a 30x50 is it 4ft apart and for 2x6 rafters is it 2ft apart. If we use metal trusses instead of wood how far apart do we separate the metal trusses
On your overlaps run 2" roof screws it will suck it tight and not make it standout, plus it will help from wind ever getting under and lifting the pannel
I might have ran a few safety tethers just in case somebody slipped. Not a safety Sally but selfishly hoping to ensure more videos. 😂 Seriously brother, stay safe
It may also depend on the placement of the screws, i usually place the screw within about an 1 inch from the over lapping seam so it helps in making it a tighter fit. But good job!
Yes. Then plan the other rows of screws from there. Some places put a row (up and down) on each side of overlaps. Makes tighter laps and strengthens against pealing in strong winds.
When you put your metal up. Did you put double sided tape on the ridges that over lap? Not exactly tape, can't remember what it is. Also did you screw the ridges down that over lap?
Lot of considered using air bubble foil insulation underneath your metal panels the barn will condensate on the inside and you will have water damage and drops dripping from everywhere
I probably missed it or it was not shown. Did you install at peak the moulded foam seal strips between roof panels and ridge cap to make watertight and bug proof so wind does not blow rain into barn? Ray
Hey Ray thanks for watching. No I didn’t add foam closures under the ridge cap. I don’t think it will be an issue but if it does cause one i can always add them later.
Thanks for taking time to answer. I've put up many steel bldgs. and price you got for the "R" panels used for your roof would be attractive 5 years ago today they are fantistic. Ray@@ProjectDadLife
Not sure if Kubota's automatically lower their boom over time or if you have a slight hydraulic leak. I notice the front bucket begins to lower around the 10:10 mark. Just curious.
I believe you have improperly screwed the roof on. According to most manufacturer’s specs, there should be a screw on both sides of each rib on each purloin. Screws should never be centered between ribs as this contributes to the wind damage.
Your videos ..... They're good BUT stop taking the "cheapest bid" and having higher expectations. I understand you desiring certain things like painted screws and specific trims BUT if the bidders do not have a SPEC written by you to do the job and you agree to what they're offering .... What they do should be acceptable. I've been in the supply business all my life and I've lost jobs because I have walked away because it was evident that all the buyer cared about us CHEAPEST PRICE without a clue of what they desired and then be a major pain in the ass. The metal on this building you took the cheapest price .... Then you picked out their lap .... There are exposed fastener panels with a leg that draws the panels together when screwed BUT it costs more ... Probably what your other bidders priced BUT lost the job. Your issues are brought out because of your knowledge being less and desire to pay less .... You seem like a solid dude but write a spec so you get what you desire ... If you do and the product doesn't meet such then you have issue. Otherwise suck it up and learn for next time.
I didn’t bid out anything on this build. Did everything myself. if you are referring to the metal shop build, if you watch the whole video, I didn’t take the lowest bid the bid I accepted was middle of the road between five other bids

Yes I used ring shank galvanized nails on everything! Thanks for the support!
@@ProjectDadLife The comment was more for the other commenters so they would know

Hi,
We are building the same style of barn. Can you tell me what your dimensions are, and how far the telephone poles on center? 6x6's too..ty

Pretty sure you may have installed the panels wrong. The seam on one side is usually cut differently so they only overlap correctly in one direction.
Thanks for watching. The panel’s have one overlap edge and so there’s really only one way to install them
They did it correctly. They don’t always sit perfectly flat.
LoL 100% done right! Good job fellas
Thank you
Thanks yeah there was a few that just wouldn’t overlap good no matter what we did
I might have ran a few safety tethers just in case somebody slipped. Not a safety Sally but selfishly hoping to ensure more videos. 😂
Seriously brother, stay safe
Those 1/4 bits or 5/16 bits pay the money and get magnetized bits so they don't slip out. looks good.
Did you pre drill the holes for the screws? Or did u just screw it by eye
It may also depend on the placement of the screws, i usually place the screw within about an 1 inch from the over lapping seam so it helps in making it a tighter fit. But good job!
Yes. Then plan the other rows of screws from there. Some places put a row (up and down) on each side of overlaps. Makes tighter laps and strengthens against pealing in strong winds.
Best way is to lay the big end over the lil end to the lil end needs a lip instead of a roll it’s kinda hard to explain
Thanks for the tip

Totally agree, but this barn will never be sealed up that much. Thanks for watching!
What pitch is your sides at 6/12 ?
When I did my metal roof I screwed through the rib. This puts your screws on the highest point of the roof and also ties that seam together
Not recommended the screws go on the flat not the rib. Look it up
When I build my shed, I'm getting a nail gun :)
Yes sir! There so worth it.

What’s the reason for not doing the lower roof tin first? I think that make it easier to stand on while doing the top section?
Not sure if Kubota's automatically lower their boom over time or if you have a slight hydraulic leak. I notice the front bucket begins to lower around the 10:10 mark. Just curious.
Thanks I believe it does have a slow leak
I'm building a mini version of your pole barn here in Houston 36x30
You said that the upper roof was a 8/12 pitch. What is the pitch of the two side lean to roofs?
There 4.5/12 pitch
Well done bro
Thanks friend!
Another great vid
Thanks Brad!
Awesome build bud! Would you happen to have a materials list? Or shoot us an approximate? Thanks!
Nothing to seal the screw holes to make the roof water tight?
These roof screws are designed to seal with little rubber seal and con-caved washers that come on the screw.
Looking really good with the metal on!
I believe you have improperly screwed the roof on. According to most manufacturer’s specs, there should be a screw on both sides of each rib on each purloin. Screws should never be centered between ribs as this contributes to the wind damage.
Building looks really good …. A lot of wasted timber though
What was the dimensions for this barn?
Never screw in the valley or pan on the roof. Use 65mm screws on the ridges and you won't see the overlap.
honestly you can find "official" or manufacturer instructions for just about any screw placement, pros and cons.
There should be stitch screws at the seem
Nope
No.
I have worked for 4 different PEMB manufacturers and all of them show to place stitch screws at the side lap seams
Beside the lap in the valley? Or straight through the overlap rib?
Straight through the overlapping rib. When I get back to my pc I will see if I can send a pic of the detail@@ProjectDadLife

Why not a 3×8 instead of a 2×4 then you know its secure
2x4 are readily available here
Haha good reply😅
