“It’s easy to get off, when you’re screwing”. Truer words were never spoke. 😂

This is by far one of the best installation videos I’ve seen on you tube . Thank you for sharing.

I'm putting new metal roofing on my tinyhome next week, weather depending, and this was extremely helpful.

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial video on installing a metal roof!! I just did the roof on my timber framed pavilion I built and the info in this video was instrumental in making sure my first metal roof install was super smooth. Thanks!!

Really helpful video. Thank you! Installing a metal roof on my workshop tomorrow, this has given me lots to think about.

To put an end to the debate of flat vs rib. We built two 18x40 sheds, one went on the ribs the others in the flats, after 15 years the flats have had a few leaks and needed more screws replaced. The ribs have been leak proof and have not needed any to be replaced. Always screw on the rib, never on the flat.

This is the most useful roofing video I've found. Thanks so much. Wish I'd seen this before I roofed the house 40 years ago.

House, barn and 4 out buildings with metal. This is an excellent video

One of the better videos on roofing.thank you.

What a great demo. I like how you went into the reason that you do or don't want to do certain things. Thanks!

Well done Sir . Said with finesse & no fluff!

Great video with lots of practical advice.

Awesome videos! Thank you for putting these together and for sharing your knowledge.

You answered so many questions that I had.................Many thanks.

Love the videos have helped a lot I watch over and over

I just finished one side of a 48 by 16 foot roof on my mother's bungalow , 4/12 pitch, using 28 gauge panels 3 feet wide . I did not pre-drill The first few panels and found that I could not drive the screw without marking and punching the hole first . To do this I had to work on my knees with multiple tools in my hand , and I had to build a jiffy roof ladder to support myself. The final panels were marked and pre-drilled in a stack of 6 panels . This made it easier to line them up on the roof , and most importantly I could drill by standing over the holes with just the screw and driver to deal with . It took only a few seconds to drill each hole , compared to over a minute per hole the other way , and there were no filings around the screw head.. The manufacturer recommended ridge drilling , and every house in our Canadian town had ridge drilling . So , always pre-drill.

Great content. I am currently building my first home with metal roofs. Great information and guidance. Thank you.

very well explained, thank you very much looking forward to more of your videos.

Excellent instructions. Thank you for posting.

I usually stack them on a sawhorse and pre drill them and it serves two purposes, keeps the screws straight and it is easier to start the screws

Excellent. Very useful and thoughtful. Thanks for the edification.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and intelligence on how too... Didn't realize there are multiple parts of videos. My apologies for thinking a head.

Helpful information and insights. Thank you!

Thanks so much for these videos. I don't know when I'm going to get around to using the info., but at least I've got it now!

Great vid! Super helpful.

An excellent video with clear concise explanations. I am using metal panels to repair a barn door. Thanks

pretty good detail in your explanation. Red chalk always stains it's why i love it when im doing tile. I just bought a big fixer upper and i was going to try doing a metal roof for the first time it looks pretty easy ive done a ton of remodels and stuff and this was very helpful thank you. it's the small details that make the job better. Love it

I remember many years ago as a young Iron Worker apprentice from time to time i'd get sent to work on Butler type metal buildings,what a royal pain in the ass,insulation different type screws. I remember the roofs caulking,insulation seam screws,drills i could care less if i never seen another one! But i remember the roof seam screws especially,was very easy to strip them and probably leaked at some point!

Excellent. Specific and to the point which is so helpful.

"It's easy to get off as you're screwing" Completely agree! Great video though, thanks

Just wonderful. So helpful. Thanks!

Great detailed video!

Very informative, THANK YOU ! !

Just been watching my neighbor two doors up from us having the second asphalt shingle roof installation in about the last 12 years. Our metal roof has been in place since 1999. It's still got a few years left on the paint warranty. Meridian panels by McElroy that cost us about $3,500 in materials for a 17 plus square roof. That's about half the cost of the crappy asphalt shingles the neighbor is going having installed for materials. It makes no sense to me why anyone favors buying new roofs every 15 to 20 years at increasingly expensive prices based on oil when metal roofs can last lifetimes. Our energy savings in the summer have paid for the metal roof at least once already.

I enjoyed this. We put a new roof like this on the tractor shed. 24x80. Had it done in 3 hours. 3 people made it nice.

Hi, Ive just done my conservatory roof using the 100mm (4") insulated steel sheets and really it was so easy and its so strong i have a span of 2.7m (9') with only end support and i can walk on it

Thanks for sharing your guides 👍

Great videos! Very informative and comprehensive. Thanks!

Last panel you didn't show,just what I needed.

Great video. Thanks for doing it.

I like this video i have my first metal roof estimate to give this weekend exposed fastener over shingles just like this. I like everything but ill be putting down underlayment or bubble insulation before the furring straps for condensation purposes also will be using inside foam and outside faom for the eaves and ridge caps cant forget the butyl tape!

Thanks for making this video.

Awesome video! Could you install metal roofing over battens that are attached to roofing rafters (no osb decking) if closed cell spray foam was applied underneath?

This is a good video. Thank you for sharing.

I've put screws in both ways. the screws loosen up over time. I fine it better to use seal tape on the over laps and screw on the ridges. Also the screws in the flats cause leaks and catch leaves and cause build up over time ! I removed old shingles use 30 lb felt installed with no furring strips (flat on roof) and used inside closers at the eves ! I had an Insurance adjuster comment, he had seen several metal roofs come up after strong winds (the closer strips prevent that).

Good info, Don’t forget to pre drill your screw lines on the metal, keep them straight. And use master flashings on chimney and plumbing flashings. Another note is to use enclosure foam along the eave under the panel to prevent moisture and debris from blowing up the rib and under the panel

Very good demonstration Thx

Wish I could hire you. Professional!

Extremely helpful- thanks a lot.

Thank you for this vid, worth well more than a like and a sub. Thank you again.

Great video Thanks 👍

Thanks for the video!

excellent videoes helped me alot

Yes. We do this often on outbuildings.

Great information, thank you!

Awesome video

Best video ever for metal roofing.if anyone knows of a better one please let me know

Great video

Great video...... Thankyou....... I’m a new subscriber.......

Fantastic video! I am planning on having a metal roof installed on a gable roof at our home in northern Michigan. There, we get a lot of snow and I would like to have a roof that will not have to be replaced every 10 ~ 15 years like a asphalt roof. I will hire the work to be done, but with your video, I will know what questions to ask the installer to see if they know! Thanks again.

I took shingles off put down peel and stick underlayment, chalked lined my trusses to screw 2x4 wood strips to and put 1 1/2 Styrofoam insulation in between strips. I did the same screw lines as you for top and bottom but through the highrib everywhere else. Now I want to use self etching primer and cool coat silicone roof paint. Any suggestions on self etching primer on corrugated galvalume?

An easy way to keep the screws in a nice line is to use one of the spring retractors commonly used for keys, security cards, etc and use a magnetic hook on each end. The magnets commonly have a hole in the middle that sits over the previous panels last screw and put the other on the metal center of 2x or a chalkline.

Great video about installing metal roof panels :)

thanks guy's - nice clear info , much appreciated!

well said This is a great video thank you sir

Thank you for the helpful information!

So helpful thank you!

Some good info here! 👍 Thx

A+ on this video!!! Great job! Thanks buddy

You didn't SHOW how you installed the final piece of panel especially since it was uneven at the top and bottom. Also I see you're installing over existing shingles. Is that allowed under building codes? (I'm in Florida). Would it make a safer roof if the panels were resting directly the flat surface of the roof?

Interesting. What is the size of the boards that support the metal panels and can insulation go between shingles and metal?

We just measure where the furring strips are and clamp like 10 sheets together at a time and just pre drill the holes through the sheets to get a straight screw line and easier starting the screw..just make sure to use a smaller or close to same size bit as the screws

Great information, Thanks

great video! please tell a beginner if the short or long vertical edge goes on top or bottom.I'm sure it matters and have been told 2 different ways.

I got a little confused about the location of the last panel you installed; did you put the "panel you ripped to size "underneath the previous panel? or over the previous panel; I,m referring to the edge that was cut with the factory edge facing toward the end of the roof; the cut edge "OVER OR UNDER the PREVIOUS PANEL?? GOING LEFT TO RIGHT; VERY GOOD VIDEO LEARNING AS I GO; THANK YOU,PATRICK.P

Very thorough thanks

I like This Business great job

Good job 👏

im thinking about installing this in a small over hang porch that is attached to my home is there any video you may have that shows how you would mount the roofing to the brick in order to make it water tight so that it would just run off the porch roof

This video is invaluable. What is the butyl tape for

I am running up the walls in my garage, how do i deal with the light switches etc.

would be nice if you had a ridge cap video as well! i just put the panels down thanks to your vid, and now waiting on the ridge cap to get here.

Where I come from they often use currogated metal sheets, and common practice is to put screws through the crests (the ridge) rather than the valley part as water running into the valleys with screws makes the roof more leak prone. Is this not a concern for sheets with an angular profile and larger distance betwen ridges like in the video?

Would it be a good idea to install insulation between old roof and new metal. After framing it out. Is it possible to have a roof leak. Please watch this video. Again. May want to install some of this really nice roofing material. Even on the inside of... for like warehouses. Just a thought.

I am replacing the existing flat roof over my two car garage because of water damage to the top as well as the plywood sheathing underneath. Q1: Can I install this metal roof panel over the joist or do I need to install new plywood sheathing over the joist and then the metal roof on top of the plywood? Q2: If I install the metal roof over the plywood, do I need to install anything on top of the plywood before installing the metal panel? Q3: Do I need to caulk or seal the top of the fastening screws to prevent any potential water leak?

I've pre-measured and pre-drilled the holes on the ground. Stack 5 or 6 sheets and pre drill them. Easy peezy. Worked like a charm. But I'm just here looking for pointers.

I am a roofing contractor where there is snow and Ice build up. I have lost count how many rotten facia boards and bottom of the roof deck I have replaced when Lazy contractors just strapped a old asphalt roof and didn't think about ice build up or condensation forming under the metal. I always recommend tearing the roof and installing a proper high temp underlayment. Plus you don't have to worry about water overshooting the gutters.

Well then if I am so wrong why does Lysaght the main supplier of metal roofing in Australia specifically say in their installation manual "Crest fixing for roof or walls; Valley fixing for walls only". Second to that why is every metal roof in Aus screwed through the ridge and we have no problems with leaking or movement even in extreme wind.

I run foam strips along the eave's to keep water n ice out.About 3 inches up from the bottom.The panel dealer should have form-fit foam for whatever style panel used.

11:00 "it's easy to get off when you're screwing" hit me right in the chuckle wagon. Lmao

Thank you.

Great information, thanks.

Do you have to build a box around your vent pipes underneath the metal so the screws will catch I'm doing a metal roof over a tin roof on a single wide I did the firing strips and insulation in between the furring strips I have another vent pipe so if I need to do it then I need to do that one right

Great video.. 71 yo so I won't be doing the work myself.... BUT... my intention on watching this video to see how it is done properly and learn the "lingo"..si that i will know just how good a job the folks I hire are doing.

Im going to be putting metal on an old shed . Should the old plywood panels be taken off or can i screw it on over ? There is places at the bottom that is rotted out . Im thinking tear out .

Make a video roofing bangalow style pls or umbrella roofing style how to cut etc

In your demo, you never did install any foam closure strip underneath the panel on top of the nailer strip, was that just a oversight for the video or are they really optional? Are they to be worth buying and installing? Thanks

Good info, thanks..

I have done enough of these to do it wrong. As far as screwing the flats are best I've done it both ways and the ridges will leak. There is just too much movement in the tin with temp differents. After a couple years the screws on the ridge will leak. Flats minimize movement

Is that fiberglass insulation blowing around from the ceiling?
