Thank you Tiger Woods for your amazing workmanship.
Awesome.
I'm building my house and I'm up to the roof.
Just watched all the vids on laying sheets, they answered a whole load of questions
Faster just to cut out the end capping off the ridge itself
Nice vid 👍🏾
Thanks for taking the time to inform us, very valuable information.
Best online ridge install video on youtube. Excellent help! Cheers

Hi Caspar, thank you 😊. Best of luck my friend 🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@metalroofing7210 Thank you for noticing my comment.. Likewise my friend. Kee,p safe always especially we are on top of the building..
Thanks for the information
Cheers Dave 🙂🤙
Good on ya mate . Appreciate your hard work to help
Do you have a video of roll top ridge installation on a hip roof where the three ridges intersect? Thanks in advance.
Dunlop Volleys are no good anymore ?
When I drill a hole in my roof sheeting I have to use a nail as a centre punch so my drill doesn’t slide all over the show. You just drill and no slipping. What’s the secret? Maybe my bit is blunt. Great video though. It has taught me everything I need to know.
David Robinson hi David. It does take quite allot of practice before you can put the screws in without the drill slipping. It would greatly help you if you just pre drill all the holes first. 😊 regards Daz
you certainly know your trade very well but I wish you had show how you marked the ridge end caps a bit more clearly as I certainly find it difficult to see where you had the pencil marking and the small lugs that you allowed for riveting down from top. You have to slow down for slow buggers like me. Otherwise it was very good.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, sorry that you had trouble with the markings. We will do better on the next video!
Brilliant tutorial thanks… I picked up loads of tips👍
Another awesome tutorial. Always, excellent advice and clear instructions. Thanks Tiger Woods. Could I please request a tutorial of how to install a (I think you call it an?) apron flashing with a lead skirting on a single pitched roof? Cheers
Thanks for the feedback! We will put the apron flashing video request on the list!
Great job
Thanks Kadir 😀
Awesome cheers
nice work..
Are you suppose to screw through the kick on the ridge, usually I go 10 to 20 mm up chalk lined but in NZ we use a soft edge which we dolly down. Why doesn't Australia use a soft edge on ridges?
Great info thanks for the video
So what is to stop water getting under the ridge if rain comes from either side in wind or the gutters are blocked and water backs up to the centre line? It doesn't appear to be water tight at all there's no seal on the low ridges in the roof sheeting where it meets the cap?
Fortunately where I am located, we do not get the extreme weather which it would require for the wind to drive the rain through the small gap in the corrugation up hill on a pitched roof to make it over the end of the sheets. If you do live in a location which does get this extreme weather then you are required to scribe each side of the ridge capping to sit down into each corrugation so that there a no gaps. As for the guttering getting blocked and the water backing all the way up the sheets and under the ridge capping!! This would be impossible because the gutter would just overflow either over the front of the gutter or over the back of the gutter. Hopefully you would gone with the gutter with the overflow slots and the water spills out the front of the gutter causing less damage
@@metalroofing7210 terrific thanks for the response and clearing that up
How do you not slide down the roof
What if u cut the tabs and inserted them inside the channel then you wouldn’t see them at all pop your rivets where all you would see is the cap?You could even drill your holes(top side then mark you tabs (so predrill if your worried about a possible miss)before your rivets?,Just a thought,no disrespect as you do fantastic work!!!Thank You and those such as yourselves that share your craft in order to help those(such as myself)Who are about to do their first metal roof!!!Wish me luck!!
johny ubankta hi Johny. Thanks for your feedback, I agree that it would look a little neater with those tabs hidden. Good luck with your roof. Kind regards Daz 😊
Can you do this with all screws + no rivets? I would assume so if there's something at the ends to screw into
Autotrope if you would prefer just to use screws and no rivets it’s up to you. There are no set rules for this
Exactly as I said
Question: Do you use rivets instead of tek screws on the roll top ridge just because it looks neater?
I also curious. I want to know if rivet safe to leaking
You shouldn’t be using a impact gun on a roof because it removes the paint on the screws, use a normal drill instead
Geez you make it look easy Daz. Do you resharpen your snips or do you guys just replace them if they get dull?
Hi Gareth. I like to tighten the screws up and give them a spray with WD40 every couple of weeks. If you’re using them everyday they normally last around 3-4 months
@@metalroofing7210 the nan. Thanks
The man 😆
hey that roof in the background mounted to the wall, whats that top capping piece called to screw into a wall?? these guys videos are so informative
quoc lien . Hi Quoc. Thank you for your feedback. I believe the part of the roof in the background you are referring to is the apron flashing which I have fixed to the wall and siliconed up the top edge. 😊regards Daz
Do you have to trim it back on an angle like that or can you have it square with the barge? What are the pros / cons? Is it purely aesthetics?
Hi there. You are right it is purely for aesthetics purposes that I cut it on the angle. If you prefer to have it square with the barge then that would be fine also 🤙
The video is great but I have to disagree. The lip on the roll cap means that if you run it straight, there will be a slight gap on the end. It’s just poor work. Cutting it where you did in the video allows it to sit flush, and be sealed and riveted water tight. You can still run it straight but you should at least trim the lip off where it travels above the barge cap.
Xltnt tutorials guys. No bullshit no waffle.
Thanks Steve 😃🏄♂️
Thx guys... almost ready to do this on my Reno. Could I request a video on installing half round gutters? And scribing?
Thanks for the feedback! We will put the half round gutter request on the list!
Do not put screw on the drip edge like the example in this video. Go about 20mm above the crease before the drip edge. Screw laps and centres make sure you flick a line for straight screw lines. The example in the video is wrong
Hi do you silicone the end caps?
Hi is wa. It is best to silicone between all joins when installing roofing that needs to be 100 percent water tight
no need to scribe? that saves time...
Chris DownUnder Hi Chris. The rules for installation of roll top ridge change depending on which state you are working in. This video was shot in Victoria. It is considerably quicker when you don’t have to scribe 👍😊Daz
Everything is a hammer unless it’s a screwdriver, because a screwdriver is a chisel.
Warren B. 😂👍agreed
Not a fan of unnecessary rivets, to hold the flashing in place. We all know they break down in time. T17 straight in
Pink Roofing. In my experience I have found it far easier to line up the roll top ridge and get all the crease marks out of it with firstly just using rivets. Then once you have it perfectly in place then screwing it off. trying to do this with just screws from the start usually results in crease marks which look unsightly. 👍
@@metalroofing7210 from my experience stripping old roofs that these rivets will become holes and the first part of the roof to fail. It's not about easier, it's about making it work no matter how painful. Any ideas that make it easier and subject to failure are a fail in there own right.
Where a rivet is placed there should also be sealant as a gasket.
Happy days
