We recently built this 12x16 Jamaica Cottage Shop Gable shed with an 8ft Lean to, it was so solid and really felt like a quality build. I am super jealous that its not on my property. If you are in the market for a shed or outbuilding make sure you check them out. The metal roof went on pretty darn nice, as long as you are pre punching your holes and taking the time to have precise measurements you will get that professional look!

Fantastic job! Everything you've done is top quality. Good to see you put plenty on good sized purlins in. It makes it so much easier to work too 🤠😁 🇬🇧

Yeah. I'm weary of metal roofing. First, it's very loud when it rains. Second, if that coating comes off it's going to rust. And third, it's not as durable as today's PVC roofing.

@anotheryogateacher8499 Күн бұрын

how do you keep the bees and wasps out of the roof?? what goes at the end of the low end of the roof? or on the ridge cap? some type of screen that allows air flow but stops the insects? maybe i didn't watch closely enough... great video apart from that, thanks.

All that equipment he's wearing and he doesn't realize you never use a hole punch on metal? The screws for metal are self tappers, you simple put a little tension on the screw and it burrows right thru metal. Also, I was told by the manufacturer I bought mine off of that screwing thru the ridges voids the warranty, so make sure you ask the seller about the warranty specifics, that's something building material sellers rarely bring up amongst sale.

@@Dirtydetective the punch wasn't for the screws to get through, it's for getting them perfectly in line.

Cut-off wheel was a mistake I made too. Jagged mess with a rust prone edge. Much better to take the panel off and use snips.

@BreakFreeHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Yea, i think it could rust whatever way you cut it without refinishing. A nibbler might be the way to go.

unfortunately i dont work with metal all the time.

@HaggisPower 4 ай бұрын

@@BreakFreeHomestead Tried a basic nibbler too. Wanders easily and leaves tiny shards of metal everywhere. Honestly, a good set of off-set snips are worth the money. Snips pinch the paint layers closed leaving the edge more resistant to rusting. Cut-off wheel burns the paint and exposes the edge to rust.

It looks amazing. Boing that you are not using ply wood or Osborn underneath the metal panels, will it get hot in the summer?

@chocolatemonk 7 ай бұрын

I would have thought you would have a rubber or foam type gasket for roof crown. I am afraid of moisture and the direct air flow will lead to rot

@BreakFreeHomestead 7 ай бұрын

How would this rot? This is an unheated, uninsulated building? This still has airflow with the cap.

@@hippo-potamus I don't see any benefit of adding plywood and tar paper. I see post and beam built like that all the time. In my projects i use 1x6 shiplap and tar paper but honestly it's for the look from underside

@hippo-potamus Ай бұрын

@@pimc172 And you also put purlins and secure the panels to that? Im asking because Im on the planing stages of building a 16x16 shed with metal roof and many forums say that the plywood is well worth the cost long term in the sense of increased water protection if the rubber fails on the screws, added protection against impacts, sound damping, condensation, and insulative properties during hot summers, plus the structure is protected if panels ever need replacement. Im weighing that against my constant almost OCD to over build. So opinions like yours are helpful and appreciated.

Can't imagine why you would use aluminum flashing between the two rows of roofing panels?

It's what it called for, probably because its from a change of slope. Although this one is barely noticeable.

No it wont drip back, and theres a decent overhang so you don't have to worry. I believe they have an optional drip kit for a more finished look on most of their kits.
