Was looking for tips on installing that kind of metal on my carport. Appreciate the video. Manufacturer was recommending even more overlap, and using "double sided butyl tape" on the joints. I suppose it depends how water tight you want it. For a goat barn perfection probably isn't needed. Likewise for my carport. How has your barn gone? It's been 3 years since you built it. Any leaks or other problems? As for putting the screws in peaks or valleys, I see mfg says peaks but they don't say why. I'll guess it's because water can settle in the valleys.

The screws go in the ridge for two reasons: 1) If there is any chance of a leak it can run off and not lay in the valley. 2) 50mm screws are made to allow for the ridge space in between the timber.

Beautiful work and your care to detail is great. With an open walled goat shed like this, would condensation be an issue like an enclosed living area? I'm not a weatherman-meteorologist-rain-hydrometer-person. Thanks in advance, sir.

You did on the ridge instead of the valley, what size screws did you use? I want to make sure I have enough screw to secure into my purlins by going on the ridge.

We didn't. My roof is too high up for me to worry about. This stuff is so thin I am not sure you could dull it enough. You could try sand paper or a file.

how far apart are the studs and what gauge is that metal? your posts go all the down into the ground? It would seem that an Arrow 10x15 carport is not a bad deal at $750?
@AmericanAdventuresTJ4 жыл бұрын
The roof rafters are 2 feet apart, the metal is real thin, I bought it at Lowes. the barn sits on cinder blocks. As for price, I have a saw mill, so lumber cost me my time. Thanks for stopping by!

Nice video buddy! I have a few questions, would appreciate if you can help me out. 1.-What is the roof made of? Is that the same roof that third world countries use to roof their houses? Is it galvanized stainless steel? 2.-How resistant is it over time in the presence of all-year sun and sporadic rains? 3.-What metal gauge do you recommend if I´m going to use it in my patio for my home gym? The area I´ll cover will be 49 squared feet Thanks in advance!

This was the first of three roofs we have done on the homestead now. So far no leaks with just lapping them. They do need to be straight and perfectly parallel to each other.

It depends on your fastener type. The manufacturers instructions say nail at the peaks and screws for valleys.

@darkdan33794 жыл бұрын
Are using 2' horizontal centers on your field sheets? Are you attaching straight to wood or plywood? If so I reccomend 1 1/2" neoprene fasteners in the field and caulking and 1/2" neoprene fasteners on 1' centers on the vertical overlapping metal panels. Without counting the square feet it may help to purchase 1 bag of each size of fasteners and see how long they last. BTW when marking your horizontal lines use blue or a light colored caulk don't use red because red is permanent...
@aditadiablita4 жыл бұрын
Dark Dan ok so we decided to put it over plywood. We were gonna do just on top of the beams (not sure if thats what the are called, but the 2x4 going across. But we decided to put plywood becaue tempd here reach 120-125 degrees. Is a cart port. We want to minimize the heat radiating down. Why the caulking? Caulking will not resist temps here. No rain. Very dry weather. Desert down in south california.

Dark Dan i did buy 1 1/2 neoprene fastners but I wasn’t considering the plywood. Its gonna be the 22/32 in width. Something like that. Its a little over half an inch.

@darkdan33794 жыл бұрын
@@aditadiablita I would skip the caulking if you're in arid area, may suggest hi temperature ice and water shield, the heat from the metal roofing may dry rot the plywood. I'm not completely sure about the design of your carport but you may need some information on headwall, rake edge, and eave metal flashing. 1-1/2" fasteners pass through your plywood and prevent wind blow offs.

There's no debate BTW. On a roof the screw always goes on the peak. Always! Just think about water flow! In Japan they are even made with a curved plastic cap to ensure that's the only way to install it. HOWEVER, when installing the corrugated sheets as vertical cladding - THEN you put the screw in the valley for maximum contact.
