- I am happy to say that the metal roof is installed and turned out nice. I ordered my metal roofing from my local hardware store. Sheets of metal, ridge cap, drip edge, and rake trim. I also install a product called vista vent under the ridge cap. This helps to prevent bugs and weather from getting into the building while letting air flow. I also used over 600 metal roof screws with rubber washers on this roof install. Using a chalk line makes installing the metal roof panels easy.

Dude, you have no idea how precious and helpful this is. You are helping people all around the world. Im learning woodframing in Brazil!
I am happy to hear the videos are helping! This type project can be fun.
nice work!
Very nice! The chalk line trick at the ridge was a new one for me, but looks like it worked fantastically! Especially for a solo install.
Thank you. The chalk line made a big difference. The line makes that initial panel go on correctly. It also helps prevent the need for seeing the low end to make the panels even. When the rain washed the line away the panels started getting out of sync.
You are a man of many talents! Great job.

I have enjoyed learning new things in the shop build. Metal roof is fun when you get going.
i've been watching your series so far i'm liking it. i'm planing my own build soon, but i'll be putting on a shingle roof.
Thank you. This build has been great. Nice to have a good size shop.
When putting a chalk line down I prefer using red chalk it does not want wash off as easy as blue and also use a crystal clear acrylic spray and you definitely will no wash off. I learned that trick when I saw cutting concrete. 17:16
Looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see when you start outfitting the inside with work benches, etc!
I hope that time comes soon! I am ready to start working in there.
Another job well done ! Cheers
Thank you. So nice to have the roof on!
Really well done and the commentary is excellent explaining each step. Thanks.
I'm happy to hear this was helpful. I rather enjoy the metal roof process.
Nicely done. Are you going to cover in another video how you finished the gable/rake trim pieces meeting at the top with the ridge cap? did you put the foam strips under the lower ends of the metal roof to keep wasps from crawling up inside the ribs to make nests?
Thank you. Currently I don't have a video about the rake trim ends under the cap. That could use a small cut and fold. Those pesky wasps will be up there at some point.
Looks awesome, bet it was hot up there
Thank you. Yes it was very hot!
Wooh ❤it
I leave a gap at the peak of the roof on both sides.
That was my only thought for what I'd do different .
Yes that was poor planning on my part. The gap ended up being almost 1.5". Better than nothing. Seems to pass air well enough.
Yes! I opened the gap to around 1.5". But needed to have been there already with my osb install.
@@sethcraftworkshop could always attack it with an oscillating tool or hole saw later if needed.
Hi nice job but did you not consider ventilation under the sheets to avoid condensation?
That might be required in some areas. I have 4 roofs like this one with no issues in 10 years.
Is that a 4 and 12 pitch?
Yes it is.
How do you keep from sliding while walking on the metal?
With a pitch of 4:12 it's not too steep. My work boots have a good grip as well.
How tall is that?
The building has 10 foot walls. The peak is over 12 foot.
