Worked up a video with some common tips and tricks we use to layout metal siding. I tried to answer the common questions I always receive. Laying out metal siding is important for a multitude of reasons, but the most important layout tips and tricks ensure the proper protection from potential leaks.
If you have any other questions about metal siding layout, drop them down below in the comments and I will add them to my list of questions to answer in a future video.
A few other mentions in the video had to do with house wrap specifically. I am always asked about the custom block it house wrap and why I don't install in the gables. Hopefully in this video I was able to answer that along with some other addition tips and tricks.
If in the midwest, ask Menards about ordering a full pallet of house wrap and they can have it custom printed for you.
All of our metal comes from Metal Sales Manufacturing and more can be learned by following the link below.

No idea why but I enjoy watching you guys construct these buildings.

Don’t you want the first corner piece to start with a flat area of panel to fit up under the corner cover instead of a rib?

If you end at a rib, just extend your slot through it, and run your J channel out another inch past the rib. No big deal.; And you should cut those ribs a little higher to allow water to flow and flush debris out of the J channel.

I wish you were local to Ohio. I need a sheet metal ceiling put in my 32x48 shop and can't find anyone good enough to do it.

This video and the one "How you can install windows like a PRO" have been an enormous help for me and my students! Our private school and I as an instructor for a shop class, have taken on a project of re-siding our shop building 120' long by 40' wide. Doing it ourselves to save costs meant an education on this subject was very important. One long wall has been completed at this point, and yes, layout is KEY, which I did on CAD and on the wall. Our windows would have had ribs in the wrong places had I not adjusted their placement by 1-1/2". Thank you Kyle for your detailed information, your emphasis on quality and time savings, your time to making these videos, and your excellent delivery during your presentations that also did not waste any time. The students that are helping with the project are benefiting from the lessons I am passing on during the build. I count this as a non-financial contribution to our school! 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

My barn was built in 1980 by a family of construction workers who thought they knew how to build a barn. Granted that was 42 years ago and it's still standing... but there was zero effort put into making it look nice or operate nicely. No fascia, no trim, no soffit... just bare 2x6s covered by a mostly unsupported roof overhang and metal very loosely attached to 2x4s (through the ribs, so most of the nails have come out over the years and the wood has rotted behind.) It took me until now to save enough money to fix what they did when it was built, and your videos have really helped me figure out how things should be built. Its been a 120x80 "eyesore" for the last 40 years, it'll be a good looking barn come spring. Thank you for creating this content!

Your attention to details are something you should be proud of. Well done sir.

I worked for Morton building years ago when I first got into the trade. They by far have the best trim kits of any pole frame and metal buildings around. Using those chains to square up a building was a learning curve for me at first but they are definitely essential. There's nothing like seeing your upper steel panels rack at the bottom on top of that trim that separates the top panels from the bottom. You guys do excellent work 👍

Preplanning and layout is absolutely critical. I've learned that the hard way. It's time consuming, but necessary. Great video, Kyle! I watched from start to finish.

Great presentation RR! As an old worn-out builder, I constantly look forward to learn something new, as we all should. I'm constantly looking & listening to learn different/new to me techniques in our craft. Tight lines!
