Building a Large Garage 9: Metal Porch Roof, and the Hardest Cut of Steel

Building a Large Garage 9 is all about installing the metal porch roof as well as showcasing how we install the hardest cut of steel on the building.
At the very beginning of the episode you see me using the fully auto Fasco Stapler. I am not sure if it is legal in California or not, but here in the midwest, I use it to burn up extra staples laying around.
The magnetic boots Greg is wearing are called cougar paws and work well on Metal Roof Installs. You just want to check them once in awhile to make sure you didn't pick up any staples!

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Thank you for leaving in the installation of that vertical piece of steel. It is tempting to remove difficult or time consuming things from videos, but these things are where craftsmanship is shown. Typically, this level of difficulty in installation is bypassed by cutting the sheet. I am very glad to see you keep the vertical steel whole. I can remember installing vertical steel on an RV shelter, it took three of us to get it in position, then we had to remove it because it was scratched during installation. MAN! What a day that was. You can tell you are on a good job crew when the bitching is during the work to replace a mistake. Not as you work past the mistake. Keep up the good work gentleman, I appreciate your attention to detail and refusal to compromise your job to 'good enough' work.

[@gofastwclass]

I love your work ethic, attention to detail and the ever important jobsite humor that makes work fun.

[@evgenygausner5499]

I'm a Builder myself. I watch your videos and learn English. In Russia, they don't build like this. Interesting technology.

[@TEDOTENNIS]

Excellent work guys. Others might have done a two-sheet install but you pull off the single sheet. Well done and looks great. Enjoyed the conversation.

[@andyarnold6763]

Love your channel, thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge with us. Your attention to detail is amazing and glad some in the trades still have the passion to deliver their best.

You are definitely the coolest builder out there.... neat, clean and organized.

[@sickofliberals9403]

I have worked construction my whole life and there's a right way to do things and there's a wrong way and you guys do it right 👍

[@robinthomas2403]

Precision fine tuning with the cuts! Looks awesome!!

[@adrian_sanchez]

That was easy, the hardest piece of metal i've seen you guys do so far....excellent work.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video. That was a tough cut and install piece. Looks great. The whole building is looking great. I'm a new subscriber and I'm building my dream wood shop and I just finished the roof by myself, which most of it is a 12/12 pitch.I ready for Windows, siding and trim and I'm hoping I can learn something from a professional. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all stay well and God bless.

[@lloydbarten12]

The way you guys interact with each other brings back memories when I worked construction not far from you, just across the muddy river. My boss/ friend we had a great time working together not so much pole barns but Timberpeg houses. Best times in my life so keep up with the videos. Still learning from your videos, not working construction as a living but still in the trade. Oh awsome stapler haven't seen one of those. What brand is it? Did you do a review of it?

[@ofduarte]

You guys do AWESOME work

[@davidwatson8141]

What wad the brand name of the cold weather suits and gloves you recomended on one video. Thanks for sharing what you do. I like the post beam const. From SE NC.

[@sntgchns]

Hi Kyle, have you calculated the useful life of one of the barns that you build? Thanks, great work by the way!

[@RRBuildings]

Not sure how I’d do that

[@sntgchns]

@@RRBuildings an estimated of 25 - 30 years? Or more?

[@mazevx2451]

Given the way he works and if someone takes care and maintain if necessary they will live way longer than 25 years

[@carlislehendersonthethird7799]

The average lifespan of a post frame building similar to the ones that these guys build is one tornado.

[@ciebriel79]

AR staple gun awesome.

[@highline3617]

Kyle should play paintball with fingers moving that fast

[@chrisbabbitt4202]

Is there some paint from the siding manufacturer that allows you to touch up if you do have any scratches? I must say the dark red with dark brown trim is my favorite look for these buildings.

[@RRBuildings]

Yes for sure but it never looks as good

[@ffc3476]

Nice work Be safe out there

[@MrDINODINO74]

... when you are using metal sheets directly to the paper you should use the Tyvek Metal Vapour Permeable Roofing Felt .

[@benvint1879]

Hey Kyle wondering if those bibs you are wearing are Truework ? Thanks bud

[@BlueCollarDIY]

Nice work! What gauge of sheet metal do you use for roofing?

[@tomihowell2385]

I used a rivet bit to punch my steel. It's double sided and works well for me

[@sithcdw]

Is the OSB and felt enough to stop condensation?

[@williamdickinson6385]

In the UK, we use mastic tape on our vertical laps when we lay the sheets. Is this something you guys do or is because we have different specs due to the atrocious weather we have? It hasn’t even come to mind to not use mastic tape until I watched this. Will

[@RRBuildings]

Anything under a 3/12 pitch

[@williamdickinson6385]

I had to look up what a 3/12 pitch was in degrees. The metric and imperial systems dividing nations yet again. When I move to the US I’ll have to relearn everything!

[@Joshua79C]

@@williamdickinson6385 yeah we use what you just found out instead of using the "degree" (14.04°) which we all use. funny how that equates to meters 0.9144/3.6576 (per Google's Unit Converter) or 1/4 in meters

[@williamdickinson6385]

Joshua79C C The sooner imperial dies out the better. I just tried measuring stuff in inches and it’s bloody awful. I’ve been a industrial roofer and cladder for nearly 10 years and have never not used mastic tape. Just feels wrong

[@robertmiller5859]

I would like to see a video how the concrete is done with your buildings. Do you have a video or would you consider doing one?

[@Joshua79C]

He did video that step a few times. forget which series it was but they were the final video.

[@dday9135]

Greetings Kyle, What brand name and model number are that auto fire stapler? There are times that I could use 2 of those. Thanks, Jerry

[@Longwoodslanger]

At 12:24 your screw line was off on that weird piece y’all got in

[@karkasgid]

AWESOME

[@dannysteck3129]

Did you have to add some sort of flashing where the roof of the porch meets the siding? Just starting learning about post framing and curious! great work btw

[@gsloup20]

Danny Steck yes. Usually there's a piece of trim/flashing that runs under the siding and bends to rest on top of the metal porch roof

[@robhall1]

Love the videos, keep it up!

[@markarmstrong2592]

Is the CRAIC always as good with you guys as we say in Northern Ireland this job is looking awesome

[@jameskauffman8405]

Couldn't tell if you installed flashing on the porch roof with the tar paper where it meets the main wall or not?

[@lloydbarten12]

IL code you don't have to use ice / water at least on the first row? I haven't done steel in a while just curious.

[@samweldtv]

Kyle why you don't screw on the rib?

[@julietphillips1991]

He is not saying it WAS you, he is saying it WASN'T him! Funny!

[@RRBuildings]

Typical right

[@jeffhowell667]

How do you determine the length's of your steel on roof and walls? And how far do you come down for the f and j trim 2×6 under sofit? And also excellent work guys.

[@jaytodd1566]

I’m not R&R but usually you level back from the bottom of your facia board back to the wall and that determines where your f and j sits. Then measure down from that. Or if you build a lot sheds your can use the same measurements.

[@jeffhowell667]

@@jaytodd1566 I know you can level back. But he measures it out and nails the gurts on b4 he raises the wall up. I was wondering what measurements he uses to determine that top board.

[@nomiSimple]

I am always curious if you order an extra section of steel in case of damage or an estimating mistake?

[@RRBuildings]

No

[@rodmunro9538]

Prince Harry is quite good at the sheeting, glad he’s found productive work since leaving the U.K. 🤣

[@ChrisPasteur]

Not sure if you've answered this question before or not, but is diagonal bracing necessary with these structures?

[@Joshua79C]

Watch the framing parts again, they still use bracing "in" the wall.

[@youtubestolemyhandle1]

I am building an all steel building in central Arkansas. Do you recommend R10 or even better R rating roll out insulation sandwiched under the sheet metal? Or spray foam after the sheet metal? I appreciate you videos by the way. 👍

[@RRBuildings]

I never recommend sandwiching insualtion...wherever you do that it will most likely cause condesation

[@youtubestolemyhandle1]

RR Buildings Ty

[@rooftop7089]

As fun as those staplers are. You probably saw that most of those staples blow threw the felt. That and the more holes in the roof the more chances for leaks. But I still respect your craft and admire your attention to detail.

[@RRBuildings]

Not at all... rarely do they blow thru... usually the opposite and I have to hammer them flat. Also, if I have water leaking thru my felt I’m in trouble .

[@rooftop7089]

Maybe it was the brand of stapler I was using but we had lots of issues with them and the guys hated dragging hoses with them. Now if and when they come out with a cordless felt stapler That can shoot like that I will be very interested. Are you listening dewalt Milwaukee?

[@milesambra5630]

Randomn question speaking of pants haha what brand of pants do you guys wear in this video they look pretty sweet and I'm tired of just my plain ol' carhartts

[@RRBuildings]

Truewerk. Good stuff and if you buy use my code to save 15%. Code is rrkyle15

[@samwaldner1128]

We pile about 20 sheets of steel. mark the top one and predrill all the holes first. realy fast for screwing with straight lines. maybe try it.

[@RRBuildings]

I’ve drilled... it’s not as fast and not as clean but I know a lot of people do it and that’s fine. More than one way to skin a cat

[@nathanhunter7921]

How the hell do you guys get through the day without a radio

[@davem3789]

Looks like you have a Perma Column hat on. Have you used them?

[@RRBuildings]

My brackets are Perma column

All of his builds use the perma-brackets, be it wet set (most common) or dry/drill set

[@chrishale8352]

Haha love the stapler

[@christopher-ricks]

10m08s: I never had so much dramatic tension build up and gripping my seat as I did watching this part.

[@brax0789]

Not sure if it would be easier to leave a gap on the rafter against the wall to run the steel behind it.

[@MrMMANSONN]

Nice wroof

[@ryanengland6054]

What kind of staple gun is that? My God! I need one

[@zarne2061]

good stuffs

[@zsoltberes6324]

Forgive my ignorance, but aren't you supposed to screw metal roof/siding round ridge part of the sheet? How does screwing into the flat area tie the sheets together?

[@Joshua79C]

Ridge = bent up metal from too much torque and wind damage, along with possible punching through due to stress from wind creating large enough holes. Flat = metal does not flail as much or at all. The overlaps still get screwed together but not secured to the structure at that point.

[@k-trix1652]
