Shannon from www.house-improvements.com/shed shows you from start to finish how to install a sheet metal roof on the DIY shed project. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I forgot the gussets for the rafters to give them more strength. You can see them in the wrap up video though. th-cam.com/video/DWKgSeiM2mg/w-d-xo.html
Just a hint I heard, better to cut with tin snips as the heat and grinding will damage the edge of the metal and the paint especially if it is pre-coloured metal sheeting.
Hi Shannon, great video. I want to use metal roofing for my shed, but I don’t know where to buy the sheets. I assume you are in Canada as you are using Home Hardware house wrap. Can you or someone on here let me know where (Toronto area) I can buy these sheets? Home Depot, Lowes, Rona etc. doesn’t sell them. Thanks in advance.
Q.
@@shanejeffery9687 You've probably got your answer long ago. Just in case you didn't, here in Halifax I called Rona who referred me to Scotia Metals that you can buy direct from or buy through Rona slightly cheaper. Surprising your Rona didn't have a similar arrangement. You can likely find a local manufacturer by googling,
Robocop part 7, the roof
Some people leave their mark in history books. Others like yourself leave their mark by teaching others valuable trades and skills that can be passed on again, by simply taking the time to provide instructions. Very noble is a teacher's life. Thanks for aiming me in the right direction on steel roofing.
I have seen a lot of different "how-to" videos on a variety of subjects, but if I want to see how it is REALLY done and step by step, I always end up back here. This was the most comprehensive video on all the steps of installing a metal roof. And it was done in a smaller venue so you can see the steps without having to zoom clear out for a huge house and lose some of the details. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video I'm a 65 year old woman and trying to learn at my age is difficult...ha..ha..ha. This is wonderful and now I understand and will send this to my son so he can learn too!
are you still alive?
Sheet metal roofs are intimidating. This video was a big help. Thank you Shannon.
Regarding the roof panel installation, may I suggest that you install the sharp, burred, edge that you cut with the grinder, toward the roof ridge instead of along the bottom eave which would lessen the chances of someone getting a really nasty laceration.
Thanks for the video!
Common sense no brainer BUT.... Guessing you've never had to roof/side with metal panels for if you had, you'd realize just how ridiculously expensive they are and that putting all trimmed edges as peak is not always a guarantee. A good/seasoned fabricator can make cuts just as good as straight cut OEM panels. It's you noobs/weekenders that give the rest of us a bad rap.
@@cbrr7615 Actually that's what I am doing now and my cut edges will be at the peak hidden by flashing. It's called "preplanning". Newbee or not, it is common sense like you said. It just takes some thought on how you cut your panels and your orientation (prevailing wind). I know how expensive the panels are, it's all planned out! Thanks for your comment.
Seriously one of the best-explained videos I have ever seen. Clear explanations on the how and why, while adding in some good workmanship in at the same time.
All those youtube weekend warrior guides with no eaves!!!! oSB T1-11 out there just taking every bit of rain. Nooooo. This dude is a real craftsman

Great job very clean work. Gave me some good pointers for my Chicken Coop Business. Thank you!!!
Excellent instructional video without needless music or comments.
thanks
Very much appreciate your videos - good audio and very relaxing to watch. I learned several things for my next project even though I have done a bit if building. You are a good instructor - telling why you are doing something, not just how to do it.
Yes!
"I'm sure some ppl gonna come on and say "that's not how I do it," but that's how I do it."
I'm gonna do it like you do it. Your way seems simplest and easiest - I'm building a tiny home for myself and your videos have helped me through my entire journey. Your vids are really thorough and well made.
I've never built a structure of any kind before but thanks to you I have a home almost finished.
Thanks a lot mate, truly.
WOW, I think the framing on this shed is better than my house!!!
finally someone smart enough to mute power tools! That extra step makes it so much more enjoyable.
yeah because turning down your volume was so hard to do...
Turning your volume up and down is a major pain and very irritating. Learn from this, don't make the mistake that so many people do when making videos.
Battery power tools have very limited noise
@@cbrr7615 wow how intelligent, fuck off kid
Needed lame elevator music overlay 🤣🤣🤣
I actually love the power tool noise was muted, often I watch these kinds of videos while washing dishes etc, so an extra hand is null in void.
Thanks Shannon I now have a metal roof on my 14 by 24 shed because of this video. One thing I would suggest is that you pre-drill the holes, trying to reach over 3 feet while balancing on a joist was difficult. Also you can buy a metal cutting disc for any circ saw at the hardware store and cut the sheets upside down.
Thanks for this info. I was trying to decide between the circ saw and grinder. I bought the disk for the circ saw but was worried it might tear it out.
Excellent video, very clear procedure, good tips, thanks
@Hello Lanark how are you doing
Thanks to you, my shed still up... didn't know anything about framing or building a shed.. and everyone loves my shed.. in fact a few people asked if I could built one for them.
put the guard back on the grinder. you are teaching to more than you realize. great video.
@Hello how are you doing
@Hello How are you doing dear
How's it going?
Shannon, all of your videos are the best. Any project I've done based on your instruction turns out exponentialy better then if would of had I just done it myself. I appreciate it!
glad to help
love the demonstration of safety glasses
Wow, i cant believe i just found this channel, this is awesome, so thorough

Excellent instructional - replacing a small shed roof with metal. Great details for measurement and how to reliably place screws.
thanks
They hold up really well,I'm in the Canadian Prairies and these are used with all metal sheeting.
I like the way you do it. Thanks for the help.
Your a great teacher Sir … you’d make a fine college or construction school teacher … your patience in your explanations of things are top notch … thanks for your dedication…
This series is so clear. Everything is explained and the logical reasons are given. Well done!
GOOD JOB, YOU SO CALM EXPLAINING EVERYTHING
Thank you for making these videos. You are helping a lot of people.
Great video! I've come back to it many times to make sure of what i'm doing. Thank you.
Your videos are great. I have improved my house in immeasurable ways because of your videos. Thanks for editing out the saws and tools; audio.
You are welcome
I have worked with all types of sheet metal roofing And it is standard procedure to anchor sheet metal on the flat surface. The only place to anchor the ridge cap is on the raised part of the sheet metal .he also should have put ribbon caulk under the overlap joints to prevent water from migrating up under the overlap. Rain has a tendency to be forced up under the joint during a heavy rain storm.
Shannon, great series. I built my last shed with the plans "in my head." It keeps the elements out but looks like a 5th grade shop class homework assignment.. I plan on redoing it (bigger) this summer. This series will be invaluable. Thanks! -Kelly
+redboy33 Thanks, we've had tons of positive feedback on the shed series, glad to help!
Building a shed is now college level. Get with the current year old man.
Fantastic instructional video! I will be applying this to the construction of a 10x5 chicken coop.
Thanks for posting. Just had 56 MPH winds rip off my PVC shed roof. I bought the same panels you used. Watching this first before I install it.
Sux! Vac!!
Do you have a nail gun? This is really cool!
Thanks! Building my own. You answer my question: spacing between purlins is about 30 in.
Thanks Shannon! Tomorrow .... the roof panels and once again I'll be able to show my (old) aircraft mechanic husband that I am STILL the can-do gal he married 31 years ago! I forbid (Yes, I did!) him to get back on the roof,so his instruction and your video will exact the results needed! The tables have turned and now HE is the helper! Anything to save his old knees and back is a bonus! Again, a humble "Thanks" coming your way. J.(PS---We don't build wimpy stuff on our farm either! Better too much, than having to file an insurance claim for wind damage here in TN, USA)
Looks so nice! This shed will last for long long time. I will build one very soon, it will be 8' x 6' shed.
Your supplier should offer a cutter much like your aviation snips made for cutting across the ribs.Very handy and no sparks.I commend you on putting your screws in correctly.Remember to change them in 10 years.I learned this the hard way.
You did a more professional job on the roof of your shed than my roofer did on my house!!
If it was up to me, I would place the cut side upwards to be covered by the ridge
Yes, factory-cut edges are usually best at the visible end.
I just wanted to point out that here in Australia we are told by code to only put the roof screws in the high ridges of the metal sheets, as those rubber gaskets on the screws eventually deteriorate especially in the hot sun.. also we must also put a sheet of sarking under the metal roof (water resistant membrane)...
Good info.Thanks
I really enjoy your method of teaching you are very thorough . You don't run through thing . Thank you
Thank you! It's very helpful that you explain the reasoning behind the techniques.
These videos (along with a couple others) really helped me in building my kids' 8X8 elevated playhouse! Thanks!!
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!?
For a playhouse, you do not want to have a metal roof.
@@HsingSun what would be your reasoning for not wanting a metal roof on a playhouse?
In the Caribbean where these roofs are very common, most installers use the screws on the ridges. The thinking is that the rubber under the screws crack and shrink over time and will cause leaks since water is flowing over them.
Also the piece at the top, (the ridging I think it's called) is usually notched so it fits snug against sheet metal. I totally understand it's a shed, and probably would not go through all that trouble, but insects or even rain with a high wind will push the water up into the middle space.
I'm also surprised that these roofs are not more common in Florida where I'm at. It works great in the tropics. Here you have to be tarring and patching leaks all the time.
Nice video. Besides minimizing water leakage, another reason you might want to do all your nailing in the ridges is to allow the roof to expand and contract better with the changes in temperature.
Nice job folding the gable flashing over the ridge, make it very clean.
This was really awesome and so informative.
The paint on your sheets must be different to the ones we use in Australia. if you use a grinder on a metal sheet it will melt the paint, and be starting point for corrosion. I wish we could use grinders as that would make it SO much easier.
ssj2gohan48 I was told never to use a grinder because it opens up the metal and causes corrosion. Use a nibbler or snips to cut the metal. Also use bead tape on the overlap of panels.
Nothing like seeing a professional does what he does so well. Great info and great commentary!! Nicely done. Thanks.
Love your video, I found the instructions to be very precise and easy to follow.
am at this part now, wow, i like the fact is one video at a time, step by step, my shed is looking amazing, i did everything to this part all in 5 days, fun to build if you love what your doing and patients, and couple espresso :P
Have fun and good luck.
That is a valid point, I think the main reason may be that if it was on the high rib you would bend the sheet out of shape because every rib would flex a bit as you snugged up. Could be other reasons but I'm not sure what they would be.
NOT putting the screw on the high rib can cause leaks. Not a problem now, but wait a few years.
A great instruction video. Much appreciated for sharing your experience. Will be putting up a 8:12 roof that's 44'x16'.
Hey bro. I’ll be installing a metal
Roof on my garage. I have one cut out to make for a chimney. You have give me a lot of know and answered a lot of questions. Thank you so much for taking time to make this video.
This is a none venting ridge vent but other styles do vent. If you leave the foam closure out rain, snow and critters will get in. Actually a wall vent would have been nice, never thought of it at the time. I guess this way the mother in law will not stay as long! LOL thanks Maxid1 you always have good questions.
Here in South Florida, I'm definitly going to need vents, & I screen them inside in 2 layers, 1/4 " welded wire- (Dad called it hardware cloth), & regular window screen. Keeps out critters large & small!
you make me feel like I could do this. Thank you Shannon. You are like a nomall guy, doing it yourself. You've got skills
+bobby redondo Thanks buddy
Metal roofing is very permanent and great in ice dam areas like Vermont and New Hampshire. Shannon does another good job installing this metal roof on the shed.
Found this while planning a roof Im doing tomorrow. Likely saved me a LOT of mistakes. Thanks - subscribed!
good stuff, thank you ...
Great Job Brother, I love it.
You doing a great job at illustrating while working ,,may i make a suggestion ,,follow carpenter,,when doing your gable trim ,,,where you made your hand fold,,,don't tuck the end under and lay on the roof,let it cover the face of the roof panel,would look better ,,,you can even set it in silicone ,,if your worried about insect's finding there way in ,,.....Your doing an awesome job ,,,,,carpenter 45 yrs you showed me a few trick's ,,,well my grandson he liked it Thank's #1,260, 71'3' congrat's
shannon i nejoy watching your videos. i ended up buying a prefab shed after watching your videos. you make it looks so easy. now i am overwhelmed with all the parts in need of assembling (urrgh).
Stop by our forum if you need help www.house-improvements.com/forums/
I would have put the cut egde up underneath the ridge and leave the factory painted edged at the bottom. You have a raw exposed metal edge now. Don't know if that could be a rust issue in the future. Most panels are galvanized but still.
It's a directional panel so you have to have one factory edge down and one cut edge down. No way around it.
If you are doing two sides then the cuts can be at the ridge with te second part of the panel going over the other side ...
True
I agree, but then I thought this is how I would maybe do a house, and not a little side shed.
Except on a longer building, you'll want to measure and mark the width of a panel from the end you start, then measure from the other end to see if it matches the first marks. If not, adjust the starting panel to be square with the far end. That will help keep you straight.
The zippy blades I was using are really thin and create very little heat. Probably good practice though to put the cuts under the ridge cap, you are right.
I like the way you explain everything, I am not a carpenter and not good with building things! So for me your videos are excellent! Thank you and keep doing what you do!
Great job mate but I just want to point out that in Australia we screw the sheets down on the high ridge of the sheet if your installing it on the roof and only screw the sheet on the flat if you use the sheet as cladding
Nice little detail that you removed the annoying metal cutting sound :)
Zampther real good information ,thanks
I agree about blocking out the sound of cutting the metal, but he should have had a guard on the grinder . I am a Union Ironworker and removing the guard off the grinder can be VERY DANGEROUS . (1) the guard helps to prevent hot sparks of metal from hitting you . (2) if that cutting wheel gets pinched it will cause the grinder to jump backwards towards you . That’ll scare the $?@/ out of you, that’s why I have TWO hands on the grinder . (3) if the cutting wheel gets pinched it can also brake apart, sending small pieces of the cutting wheel out

Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

Hi Shannon,
Great video! I noticed that when you're cutting your sheets of metal you expressed concerns about sparks and flammable materials around the work area when cutting with an angle grinder. In your illustrations you had the mountains(Highridges of the sheet metal) facing upward.
Here's a tip that has worked for me in the past and may help your viewers. Everyone has their own methods but what I do is to flip the sheet metal where the mountains are facing downward and then use a skill saw with a finish wood blade(fine tooth) inserted in the skill saw where the teeth are pointing backwards. So another words you put the blade in the reverse direction so the blade will not bite into the metal. This cuts the sheet metal pretty slick and there are no sparks. However, this method will create fine metal sawdust for a lack of a better word so make sure that safety glasses are worn by the person doing the cutting.
MMG Cutting Mat - Micro Media Group LLC Nice tip thanks!
+MMG Cutting Mat - Micro Media Group LLC I use a skill saw and man is it deafening. Hearing protection is a must. Angle grinder looks effective too.
MMG, "Skill Saw" is a brand name they are called "Circular" Saws
CUdetoom okay grandpa
Wow! Thank-you! I really don't like cutting wheels & this is a nice, do-able alternative!
Greatly executed, so valuable. Remember bugs and birds need somewhere to live or they go extinct and never return. TRy telling folk to change their living style, nope won’t happen.
Making a garden shed your self should be fun, enjoyable and not hard as you think. You can even save a a lot of money.
You only need a comprehensive plan, this plan assist me a lot so you too, find out more here:
help1.info/build-a-shed-yourself
the landlord who owns the rent houses across the street from me had his handyman put metal roofs on his houses and they look terrible! If i see that handyman I'm going to give him a link to this video.
Great videos Shannon. One question. I noticed that when you started marking out and installing the metal roofing material, you placed the cut-edge facing down. Would you recommend that folks that may not have as steady of a hand with the cutter place the cut-edge up, so that it would be covered by the ridge cap? Keep up the good work!
+Mike Cole Good suggestion ,yes.
also since he doesnt seal them i would guess this is the part where corrosion would start.
This was great- I appreciate you showing ALL the steps in detail.
Man you helped me a lot! I already built my shed and I was really fretting about putting the roof on and you told me everything I needed to know. One thing I would have mentioned though and I already knew this but the purlin towards the top of the roof needs to be spaced so you could screw the ridge cap on.
man thanks a million.. i know you just saved me a ton of cash...
Guys I found a very good website about woodworking that is *WoodBlueprints. Com* this website contains more then 12000 woodworking shed plans. Recommended
Thanks this was really helpful
great
I was always curious about how to install the ridge cap without allowing water to blow under it. I was not aware of the sponge-like closures to keep the water out. I learned something!
From Steve. I learned a lot from you Thank you very much. You did a great job on that shed. THANKS. 😏👍
errors:
1) eave drip edge detail (no return for rake trim)
2) factory cut edge and a crooked field cut edge at exposed side
3) center panel install over area to keep consistent reveal
4) no butyl between rake trim and panel (water will flow under trim and eventually leak in through fastener
When I did my roof, I used a bead of silicone under the overlaps.
Unnecessary, only be a mess come time to replace. Painful even...
Nice instructional video. I would add butyl tape on my gable trim to make a complete seal on top of the roof, so water won’t leak on the screws you installed.
If you cut a sheet and don't have a rib under the gable trim it would be a good idea other wise the water won't get over the rib even if it gets under the trim. The screws all have washers just like the exposed ones.
I always appreciate your videos bro. Very thorough and precise work! Thank you
Good Job...., but.., I would put factory edge down, and cut edge up!!! Then there is no sharp edges=) Won't rust either so easy!
+Eero Laukkanen Was thinking the exact same thing !
yep, sure =)
+Eero Laukkanen you can't unless he was doing both sides, cutting it in half and putting them on 1 side your laps would not match.
Well, he did, didn't he???=)
Eero Laukkanen - you mean you want him to discard every second sheet?
Very nice, thanks for your help, and your right working by yourself if rough...thanks Joe.
Excellent and easy to follow even with basic DIY skills should be no problem. So it is a great informative video Shannon thanks very much!! Great Job!
+barry hignett you're welcome
shouldnt the screws go on the top of the ribs rather than where the water travels?
+GM AD Placing the screws up there flexes the ribs and distorts the sheets , the recommended screw location on walls and roofs is where i haves shown.
That would crunch the roof
Only if you screw it in to much.
I get your point but Them screws have a washer rubber seal
ALKUKES which will dry and fall off after several years on a strong sun, rain and cold
No guard on your grinder. Love the work you do but this safety issue is big mistake. I know from experience ( 35 stitches ). Other than that nice work and really appreciate how detailed you are with your work.
I was going to comment. Worked for a mechanical contractor for years...safety first, always.
Great videos though!
Even we think its hard to do it,& it is hard to learn, but if we keep watching it & trying to our best, I think we can get some...
good way to gauge the rubber gasket on the sheet metal screws. tighten them till they squish just a little bit.
You would be hard pressed to sound more Canadian than this guy....
He's got it figure oot.

Shannon, great videos in regards to building a shed as well as pro-tips, much appreciated!
this video is the most helpful: simple, easy to understand and very well presented. Thanks very much
Metal roofs look good when they're done right, so I must say, I was really irritated that you turned the tins cut edge toward the bottom on the first piece to the right. No wonder you had to warn against sharp edges. SMH
I am glad that your safety glasses are protecting your forehead and hat.
Good video! You solved several mysteries for me. LOL
I think you do a great job explaining step by step.. I wanted to put a metal roof on my next shed and will definitely do it just like you just did. keep up the good work.
You tube is about to loose all of my business for good. The commercials are becoming unavoidable even if you hit skip ad the ad still plays.
Very informative.
I applaud you for muting the load tool noises from your video. Made watching a more pleasant experience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching your video gives me the confidence to build my own carport roof. Thank you.
I watched parts 1,2,3, and 4. The only thing I cannot agree with is the placement of roofing screws. I think they should all be on the high ridges. Great video so far.
@Hello Tom how are you doing
Yup, put my screws on the high ridges also.
