Complete Step by Step How To Square a Roof

- In this video, I show the complete process of how to square a roof. I have shown this across many different videos, but I wanted to create a complete step by step tutorial for someone to follow in order to square a roof. In my opinion, squaring a roof is extremely important. Anyone that knows what they are looking for can see when a roof isn't square. Especially when Metal Roofing is being installed.
I think if someone follows these step by step instructions, you can ensure a square roof, which will make many other processes down the road that much easier.

I know this is a super long video...However, I figured these tips and tricks are skills that last a lifetime. Hopefully It helps someone, and if it is helpful, let me know. Thanks for the support and don't forget to share with your friends. Also, this was almost completely shot on my GoPro 8 . bit.ly/RRHero8
RR Buildings love these kinds of vids.
Always helpful as usual. I so want to build one of these on my property but having the funds always alludes me.
I highly recommend you checking out tirfors instead of chains/boomers.
❤️❤️💯
Can you sell me the Materials
It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Man I appreciate you taking the time out to run us through this process.
I have a homestead and build my own stuff...this is youtube gold. Thanks
Not too long a video at all as the teacher rocked the lesson and made it a breeze. One of your best i'd say.
Well thank you
When using the pythagorean theorem, the method I use allows me to avoid calculators and fractions of an inch.
The triangle to find that 90 degree square is essentially 3x4x5. To get higher levels of accuracy with a large building, just multiply equally to all three and use those dimensions. Example would be to multiply the 3x4x5 numbers by 5 to give you 15x20x25. That way, you can use a 25’ tape measure and still get nice accurate measurements with large squares.
No calculator needed and just as reliable.
Greg sliding down just made my day. hahaha!!!
I am a metal roofer and a very good one at the least,but I am so grateful for your videos they are teaching me at 47 years old what true work ethic means!
Great videos, please anytime you have the spare time,we all need these!
I like how Greg does those controlled slides down the roof. Obviously lots of practice.
dident he say 4 build?
Fast learner
He's marking the perlinsor he would walk down
Thx for the time, and skills your share. Hope you all had a nice Christmas and a sharp 20-20 to you all!
I always aim for the best, most accurate measurement It usually makes everything easier towards to end. Great job guys!
As a mechanical engineer I can appreciate the precision!
Thank god they got a mechanical engineers appreciation, no one gives a shi* what you think..
@@jimmyhoffa310 Nice. Have a great day.
Kyle
I have watched a multitude of pole Building Video's on You Tube. Your Buildings are Far & Above anything else that is available anywhere in the USA. You build the Rolls Royce of Pole buildings. I just wish I was younger so I could have one of your Builds but at 82 I'm too far gone.
You are Truly the Master Builder
Carl
Thanks Carl god bless
Man, straight out, you are awesome! Never have I seen a man in this world not related to me so helpful with detail!
You are few and far in between... you are someone I would give the keys to my house, car, shed, four digit pin to my debit card... you name it- is how trustworthy you come across just by your resilient attention to detail and quality there of.
I know your personality from experience and I can most definitely say you are a man of superior integrity and I know you won’t and can’t give a customer something that isn’t as perfect as you can possibly give them. You were born that way... I’m sure of it.
Great job!.. and tell your men I appreciate them as well because I can only imagine how ecstatic your clients are to your finished product.
Thanks man that was a very appreciative comment and I truly do my best
RR Buildings... it shows, no doubt... it shows. 😄
Kyle, I really hope the folks in and around your community know how blessed they are to have a builder like yourself. I've seen how sloppy builders can be and honestly, I would welcome your OCD my friend!!! 😀 👍Jay👍
Thanks jay
Good to see you measure every sheet. One would think you could get the first sheet right, then "feel" the ridge, but one would be wrong and have a mess !
I watch this video before bed every night to enjoy some goood framing. Thanks guys, makes me want to put my boots on!
what impressed me most on this video is he avoided hitting his level on anything walking back and forth through chains and other obstacles.... unless that was edited out. 🤣
Prob a 500 dollar level I don’t blame him for being careful
I was cringing the whole time. I think that says more about me than it does anything else. 😁
No kidding!
Rather watch an hour long video showing how things are done than listening to an hour of lecture in a classroom.
Thank goodness for TH-cam!
Edit: And thanks to you guys that take the time to video all this good stuff!
man I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with a boss who is obsessed with tiny little details that nobody will ever notice. (awesome video as always)
I love your attention to detail and you do a great job explaining what you're doing, and why you're doing it- very informative.
Your camera work and editing is excellent also.
Keep the awesome videos coming.
Thanks fellas! I've learned alot from your vids. Just want to say thank you and I appreciate it! Keep up the fantastic work. Have a happy new year!
The way greg slides down is how i do it as well i been building carports with my old man for years now and it does make it easier to get from purlin to purlin and get to the bottom for another sheet. Glad to see im not the only one using that technique.
Whatever amount of time spent on truing up the structure prior to laying your steel and roof is well worth it for sure - and thats the real lesson here. A half hour of tugging on chains and setting wedges will absolutely save more than that when it comes time to put down the steel since you wont need to make as many funny cuts to make things work out - great video love it!
Totally agree
Thank you for all the videos that you film and put up. It takes a lot of time from your work. Very informative. Thanks you again.
another knot. loop around finger 3 or 4 times pull taught lock in opposite direction. will stay until you release it by giving it some slack by pulling tighter and keeping strings parallel. you can reuse string indefinitely. Awesome video Thank you !
Absolute perfection! Thanks for sharing.
Love the way you explain what you are doing.
Great video thanks 😊. I believe the knot you were demonstrating at 11:55 may be called the Marlinspike Hitch.
Best video on TH-cam on how to square a roof!
Great video, I’d love to see a video of you explaining all of your lumber specs and spacing in a barn build... girts, purlins, posts, trusses, etc.
As a machinist I appreciate your precision!
OCD, I love it. What a great pair we would be, an OCD builder and an OCD customer. That could be scary.
i would say an expencive build.
Thanks guys for sharing so many tips, really appreciate, useful in our projects
When your running your sheets I see you’re matching your Lap rib or “good rib” I think you call it, then pulling out your tape and measuring your under lap rib or leading edge for your over hang number. You could eliminate that last step by marking your stack of sheets with a good marker on the leading edge at your desired over hang measurement. And then for remodel work when you can’t guarantee a perfectly straight eve snap a line at an arbitrary point and mark sheets to correspond to that that line.
To each there own. I enjoy the vids 🤙🏼
I have thought about that for sure and honestly not sure why I haven’t yet
I agree with this. I put up metal frame buildings and once we square our roof I mark the lead edge with a marker or even a grinder to give the guys something to line up. Just a little easier, and if u do the saw cut the lap of the next sheet covers it up u can only see it on the bottom but the gutter will hide everything. Great video!
Buy a speed binder, it would be perfect instead of snap binder! You will love it, you can adjust it without unchaining!
Turn buckle style braces like you see used in concrete would cut time off of getting things leveled. We actually had some made with smaller threads that screw to any length dimensional lumber and that's what we use when leveling exterior walls on our buildings.
If you don't mind this suggestion, yes, they're not exactly cheap but, ratchet binders. A little easier and quicker for you to make your adjustments. What you're also not taking into the mix here is, moisture will change your dimensions. That's just the nature of lumber. I know most would say "OCD" much, me, I say, you're just making sure everything is as exact as you can make it. This is why I really enjoy your channel, your "ocd" of precision. Keep the video's coming. Cheers :)
Really enjoyed the extra step by step in this video. Keep it up!!!
Well now lets see, how many mistakes did i find.. I watched it all, and i half to say, ya'll were right on all the way. Most people just don't get it that close.. Thanks for Shearing , Texas
Thanks for these videos and stay safe.
Gonna used that technique for straightening my facia board on my garage build. Let you know how it goes, lol. Great video
7:00 "An eight of an inch in sixty four feet" sounds real good to me. Worrying about getting any more accuracy boarders on mental illness I would suggest.
ratchet strap truck tie-downs instead of chains for a finer adjustment when straightening might help - love the work
So cool to see someone who REALLY REALLY knows what they are doing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, strong work!!!
34:19 - That's work flow at its best, no time wasted, one job straight to the next with no communication :-)
We use chains with 2 ton come alongs! Makes tiny adjustments easier. Great video
Another great informative video by a professional that takes pride in his work. I've been waiting for my contractor for going on 6 weeks he told me it'd be a week and a half. Go figure
It might take forever to get in "The Zone" to make final adjustments. Maybe use both in-line. Get there then fine tune?
I haven’t made it through the whole video yet but I’m wondering why you don’t use adjustable chain binders instead of the bear trap style? I would think they would allow you to adjust anything in very fine controllable increments. Love your content thanks for what you do
It’s so good that you dedicate time like this to educate people and consistently do it👍
Nice work man love your channel. It's nice to know there are still guys that give a crap!🤘
Gotta get ratcheting chain binders for this!
The amount of pride you obviously take in your work. Makes me want to be better.
I have that same level. Love it... thanks for the video. 👌👍
it's a hefty price tag, but can you put a dollar amount on a lifelong tool that will make your more precise...probably saving you way more in the long run
wasnt long at all when we are learning great tips and how to do it the right way
Love your videos. Thank you.
Thing a beauty. 👍 Happy New Year RR Buildings Kyle and Crew. (Greg & Zack)
As always dude great. Educational vidt
Thank you
Love seeing the process!
Great videos, thanks! Using a ratchet load binder might enable you to tension the chains in tiny increments rather than having to go a whole chain link.
That was money. Love the old school work ethic and pride you take. Also quality workers who have the patience to learn from a master are rare. Thanks for the video.
We use cabled tirfors which work really well. I find them easier then the chains just ratchet to tighten or loosen cables dont twist up as your ratcheting might be something to look into and try
It would be nice to see some drawings uploaded sometime that shows chain positions, wedges etc for moving walls in and out. Just easier for those of us who need a visual aid.
One trick that i do sometimes is flush the stack of sheets and cut a little slit on the dog leg at what ever your overhang is. saves you from pulling a tape every sheet. Great work though guys! Keep it up!
When you install a new sheet, you already know your lap is at 1.5 then adjust your dog leg accordingly. Saves a little time. Maybe less than i think. But hope it helps!
Great idea
Cracking video once again.
Happy new year to you and the team.
Man good work I really look up to you
I fall asleep to these videos it's like construction ASMR or something ♥️
So impressed with this guy's skills. Not sure how old this guy is, but holy crap!!!
I used to stick frame houses with an old carpenter down in Texas back in the 80 s and 90s we always used a story pole to level from bottom plate to top plate when plumbing walls . It didn't matter if it was 8' wall or a 12 ft wall
Damn. I would assume most commercial companies aren’t getting it done like you. Great video
Why not use a ratcheting chain binder for finer adjustments?
actually not as quick and a huge pain...I tried. It wants to spin the chain and is somewhat a pain....I wanted it to work better
RR Buildings not sure if the new style ratcheting chain binders would help those they have a spot for an impact to hook on and tighten up instead of using the handle
Mike Cabrey .. that’s what I was thinking
Thank you for all that you do. Great content and I truly appreciate your attention to detail.
Happy New Year.❤️
Thank you again you've helped me tremendously !
Nice.... you can tap the sheets together and put an inch and a half mark with a grinder that way you dont use your tape every time on the Eve . Very nice
Attention to detail👍🏽
The 2x4's are quick but i'm wondering if you benefit or considered using chain ratchet binder instead? Love your work, never done it but when i do, i'll be ready thanks ALL to you!
Happy new year
Man buddy great video!!! I love the little bit of prep work for making a project come out right like it's supposed to, it's that small attention to detail that keeps the project smooth and beautiful when you are done!!
thanks Bryan. Usually the difference between good and great is minimal. Most people just don't want to or don't know how to
Nice work. Are you available to come put up a building in ND. Lol. Thanks for the video.
Your videos are excellent.
Glad you guys care about safety. Please reach out to your local rep. On some fall protection training. Your guy on the roof has two fall arrest devices used together. This is a big no no. In general dont ever hook two clips together, only clip to ring. Also make sure your SRL is rated for leading edge. Be safe out there.
you're a perfectionist ... not a bad attribute , however with the primary posts 'plumb' with your level , it may only be in or out within that length of your level , meaning the post could actually be bowed beyond your level's extension ... I always checked the top of the wall and checked plumb with a transit ... building racks to suspend drilling rig pipe in Angola in 1982 taught me that precise matters ... yes, it ain't rocket science but it sure does make a difference getting anything you build as accurate as possible ... spot on , budroe !!!
I loved the details, that's the best video in awhile. Looking forward to the the next. Do you use twenty footers on the end purlins for the 2 foot overhang and still overlap the next purlin? Great job. Thank you
yes randy when there is a 2' over hang we use 20' and when it's a 1' overhang we use 18'
Pouring sonotubes in the winter would be a good subject on your next build.
great video so much info Happy New Year to you guys will you someday do video on the harness you use
For sure I’d like to
Take RR Buildings on the road and come to Iowa and build me a shop please!
Assuming you set all of the post plumb in the beginning are you not taking them out of plumb as you make the adjustment with the kicker under the bottom chord of the truss simply trading a straight eve line for an out of plumb post?
Good question. We plumb all Columns during install yes... but as you noticed we were still off 1/8 to 1/4 max on our string line... when setting a column, even if the level reads good, you could still be off that 1/8”. Once we plumb our corners, the string line tells us how to make the rest perfect
Really good job guys excellent description
I really enjoy your videos and your attention to detail and of course accuracy...you are a craftsman... but i am a little surprised you havent adopted the metric measurement . I am a retired carpenter/contractor, when britain adopted metric 1965 I loved it.. it is so much easier and more accurate that imperial, yes there were a few moaners always are.... i do appreciate that your supplies maybe still be cut in imperial.
Hey Kyle, I’m not sure how much interest there would be for a full video but I’d love to see how you store and deploy your chains. Looks like a good system. Thanks as always for making outstanding content!
He has a video on this. Look for it.
Not sure if he has a video on it or not, but you can see his system at about a minute in on this video. th-cam.com/video/6MWG7qkGFlA/w-d-xo.html
I believe all the chains are stored in 2.5 gallon chemical containers from the farm and then those containers are stacked in a job box like you see in the video above.
I've got so many good tips from your videos. I'm confused though on the 40" mark that would put tin 3" from gable. But when you put first sheet on looks like 3/4" overhang. Please help me understand. Love your videos keep them coming!
I wondered about that too. I thought he was going to have to rip a sheet down because of that
Have you thought of making a second video based on this topic just about the chaining of the walls and trusses.
Wondering if you have seen the old school string line trick. Twist a loop about 4 times, hang loop on nail, pull the string while pulling tag end. Makes a pinch knot and holds great
If you double tap the display on your construction master pro app, it will backspace 1 digit
I know this is an old video. But the make ratchet binders , with those you can make very small adjustments and you don't have to release the tension.
Very good! I’m going to be installing metal on an existing roof with a plywood deck. Any tips?
WOW!
Greg is funny sliding down on his knees. But it is amart at the same time. ;)
Greetings from Poland where we do not build post-frame... ;)
if you use the ratchet style chain binders instead of the snap style, you can dial that in easier and would not have to use boards to wedge the chain. it would save you a whole lot of time.
