How did you scew it to the top? Will it hold your weight while you screw it down?
@jeffstites7848 Ай бұрын
I used a ladder for access and the beam/rafters will support the weight, but not the individual sheets with the spacing I had, but they did support my weight with a 4x8 sheet on top of them over the joists to dissipate and spread the load. I used wood screws and wide washers and pre-drilled holes in the sheets. There are specific washers you can buy that have contours for the sheets being used.

Yeah, I’m always late to the party too. Hey, have you heard about planking? Ha ha. Template is called wiggle wood. I had to modify the wiggle wood I picked up since it didn’t match the sheet contours I had (2 different manufacturers). Good luck and don’t be afraid to be creative and experiment.

Fantastic idea. I'm looking for an alternative ridge for an asbestos corrugated roof. I could use bonding sealant to fix it to the panels, so I don't have to drill through the asbestos sheeting. How do you determine the pitch angle? Where did you get the white profile blocks for the template?
@jeffstites7848 Ай бұрын
Pitch would need to be determined by code/engineer or someone experienced for the specific job. The template is called wiggle wood I believe and typically used to support the sheets on spans. Since the one I bought didn’t match the contour of the sheets I had, I had to cut and space out the valleys to match my sheets.

I have been told that this is normal/shedding to make way for new needles and also told that it's possible they could need water. I was stressed to not pull them and let them alone through the Winter as they will likely be just fine.

@jeffstites7848 Жыл бұрын
It doesn’t take a lot, really. You essentially want to spray with a hand spray bottle and lightly mist the branches. Then use your hand to help distribute it on the branches while checking for brown branches and removing and debris on each bush/tree (using gloves if you prefer). So, a standard, genetic trigger sprayer, I’d say 7-10 pumps per bush.

Hello. Is plastic and polycarbonate the same product? How did you get out onto the roof to install the ridge cap? Is it strong enough to stand on? Im lookin at building a 36x48 foot barn. With the cost of metal corrugated panels being what they are, im looking at polycarbonate panels as an option. My concerns with polycarbonate are durability, longevity and installation. On the installation part my concern is being able to secure the polycarbonate with the screws out in the middle of the roof. There will be no wood under it as I live in AZ and when I call it a barn, its as much of a sun shade as anything else. Snow is not a factor but wind and rain can be at times. My largest sections of roof would be 12 feet by 48 feet with trusses and cross support as well as 2x4's running across the top of the trusses at 3 foot intervals to anchor my roof panels into. Again, my concern is being able to get out into the middle and along the top ridge area to put the screws in. The barn style is a Monitor Barn and the top ridge will be about 14 feet off the ground. The is no reasonable way to use scaffolding to secure the ridge cap once the roof panels are installed. In insight or suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks btw I like the DIY ridge cap idea.
@jeffstites7848 2 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a challenge. I was able to land the sheets going from one side to the other with ladders so I didn’t have to be on the panels. Only issue was the last sheets. I added blocking at the base of the roof and then laid a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the material to spread the load of my body. It was sketchy but it worked. You may have to get creative and it took me a little bit of time to figure out fastening the last panels. My issue was being between two existing buildings that I couldn’t climb on. Hope that helps. Good luck on your roof project.

As I’m far from being an expert, I’d consult with an arborist or research online if you’re able. There seems to be varying degrees of info. I still never could find a solid answer on leaving the burlap on or removing entirely. I chose to remove entirely for this row. I do know that for ours we needed to water more than we initially did so added a drip system to soak the roots along with sprinkler system. Being in the Pacific NW, we don’t water in the winter. Your area my differ. I hope you’re able to resolve the issue.
