Manufacturer of steel siding here. You are 100% correct on over tightening fasteners. But one thing you are doing wrong is using an impact gun. Impacts will induce oil canning on some panels. Best to use a variable speed drill with correct settings to avoid the potential. Just my $0.02….. Thanks for the great video.

[@1rockscar]

Thanks for this post!! As a retired wood shop teacher. Very few people use a tool to its maximum capacity. A drill has drive settings. Take a test piece and set your drill’s drive clutch as desired. It will make you more exact, every screw driven the exact same. Also makes you faster and more efficient.

[@user-xm3ut5hc4z]

Thank you two for these comments 👍👨‍🔧

[@jeremythomas3273]

Make sure you pre drill

[@artursmors2178]

And we can change gears for impact drivers for a reason

[@artursmors2178]

You are like 15 years late for problem that doesn't exist

[@kingangelable1]

Why are you installing the fixing screws in the pans of the sheets? This would be a compliance issue in Australia

[@Goprotex2]

This is manufacture specifications for most r-panel products. At least here in usa. I understand its a great spot for a leak but we have to install how they say or they wont warranty it.

[@Goprotex2]

I think its silly

[@chrissleblanc]

Here in the Caribbean we install those screws on the crown not the flats

[@7628739]

Makes sense

[@dennyrook1470]

Neopreme under washer cap. Sun delamanates.will leak in about 3 to 5 years. Water runs in the flats, thats why you screw the ribs, lol

[@dmthompson44]

so you can dent all the ribs

[@gerryfernandez8679]

Through that crown is the manufacturers recommended way.!

[@ExcuseMyFr3nch]

​@@gerryfernandez8679 lies flats are the manufacturers recommended fastening. They say screwing the flat make a better connection with the roof. Please stop spreading misinformation

[@jc6461]

I always put my screws on the crown the raised part of the panels

[@aurorasplawn5024]

some brands that's how it goes other brands it could void the warranty always check manufacturer specs or any leaks are on you otherwise they cover anything that leaks under defects.

[@7628739]

I put mine on the top ridge, it's been 28yrs and no leaks, water always flows downhill

[@cassidyalbert6622]

That's manufactured specs to screw roofs on the rib and walls on the flat part.. plus less water runs on the ridge , less chance they'll leak ..

[@aurorasplawn5024]

i follow manfacture specs not all roofing goes on rib some brands go in flats to provide better wind rating @@cassidyalbert6622

[@katkilr7685]

You should always place screws in the flat and the rib. Flat- metal to wood screws. Ribs - metal to metal screws. Never screw a metal sheet straight down in plywood, should always have a lava or hat track. If hat track is used it will be metal to metal screws. If you replace a metal roof over another Metal roof "ALWAYS" Hat track.

[@jgood1089]

Like this one right here next to it.

[@LoveForTheTruthTV]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jebronlames7789]

Looks like leaks down the future, never screen in valleys always at high spots

[@flwrangler]

The metal roof dilemma, do you screw the flat or the ridge? In hot climates, like Florida, that rubber gasket will last about 10 to 15 years. If you screw on the ridge, setting the torque on your drill will diminish the risk of crushing the crown, the surface contact is less. Screwing down on the flat, provides greater hold. However, the risk for leaks is imminent after the rubber washers dry out. Speaking from my own experience. Ive found, screwing on the crown creates a downward hole. Once the washer dries out, there remains a gap, a rounded V, but the screw serves as an umbrella. Heavy storms, water will get in. Screwing on the flat just leaves a gap of about 1/32" once the washer dries out. If only someone could come up with a truly sun resistant washer!! Either way, crown or flat, once the washer dries out, the seal is no more. I have a metal roof on my home. I intent to have the screws replaced in about 15 years. Currently replacing the metal roof on my shed. I plan on laying some tylek paper on the plywood, then tar paper on the plywood. My strip boards treated, I cover the top with folded piece of tar paper 4" wide, tacking it down with a staples, then the metal. Tar holds up pretty good, tends to Crack and dry, holds a seal as the years go by. I assume the washers are going to fail! Ill probably run a bead of roofing tar between the sheets. It's time consuming but do-able for a shed. I've taken down a few old metal roofs, learned much from what I've found.

[@freedomisntfree5573]

Adjust the clutch on your DRILL. DON'T USE AN IMPACT DRIVER.

[@auggymarch]

Everyone knocking the screw pattern, notcie he's at the eave and that is the exact manufacturer recommended screw pattern for 9-36 panel which is what looks like he's using.

[@hankwells8723]

Yep 👍 most guys also put more screws on the bottom than in the field that's how we do it anyway

[@BUCKSTALKER123]

[@jumpjasper5276]

So when you install snow guards,metal you only screw threw the metal to hold,or all the way threw to wood?

[@andrewwalley9589]

For screw placement it depends on the manufacturer. Some say on the ribs and others say in the flat. Follow your manufacturers install instructions; not the ass hats that take instructions from one product and use it to install all others.

[@ProjectNEXT1]

Thank you for your comments. So many people are telling me how I'm doing it wrong. I buy my panels straight from the manufacturer and I'm installing the way they say. Thanks for watching !!!

[@Lonewolve1988]

Set the clutch on your drill lighter and take a piece of metal and drive througha piece of scrap from the roofing metal you want to install

[@Goprotex2]

Dont use an impact. If you use a drill you can adjust the clutch and get a perfect bite every time.

[@kevindowner766]

The best way to do it is with a regular drill not an impact. You can set the drill to set each one perfect evert time.

[@ProjectNEXT1]

Hey Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try.

[@bullfrog1807]

In a perfect world sure but you hit hard spots in wood…I prefer to do it by feel

[@kevindowner766]

@@bullfrog1807 me to most guys don't realize they're putting the screws in to tight.

[@briant4162]

The best way is pre dill the metal and use what ever you have drill or impact and but your foot next to the screw when you drive the screws

[@BobbyBlack913]

What do you do at the edge with the standing seams to prevent wasp n bees from getting in

[@robertstover7525]

The screw to the right is way overtightened btw

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I put about 2000 of those today. I just set the torque adjusrment on my drill to not compress the washer. Easy peasey

[@nevales]

On what se[ting?

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

@@nevales I think it was in the mid-teens, but you'll need to fine tune that as it will depend on the lumber you're screwing into. Softer board get a lower number; higher for harder. Once you find it, most will be fine but an occasional one will need a little tightening or loosening

[@spjmotorsports1243]

I’ve been told not to use impact but instead drill with settings impact can cause screw to back out overtime

[@sanyuanmetal]

Good job.

[@clintwellington432]

They got a better gasket style one out for years now. Torque setting helps a lot.

[@whatnowok]

If you anchor him at the ridge, how does the roof stay anchored to the plywood?

[@chardtkdog8340]

Whats the spec of sheet metal your using for the roof?

[@lakiluk4537]

Don't use impact driver. Normal battery drill set on 2 or 3 depending on the brand will do the job without worrying, alternatively I have seen a Makita impact driver that, can be adjusted to low torque. Writing from UK. Thanks for video

[@robertdooling3146]

Have you tried using a drill you can torque settings

[@larrycrookshanks1646]

Better off installing a hidden fastner snap-lock panel.

[@kohnesorge]

More money

[@joshfranklin9180]

Use a drill not a driver and set your clutch as well

Good for a out building , I prefer standing seam for homes.

[@ProjectNEXT1]

Totally agree !!!!

[@samanthamcguire2208]

Always screw the ribs on roof

[@7628739]

I did screw on the ridge, but so many are told un these videos to screw on the flat and low, water flow down and there is less real-estate on the high part of the ridge

Never screw on flat!!!

Yep, that's the first thing anyone should learn before they install a coragated metal roof. Dont put any screws in the vally.

[@mikeeustice4452]

In my area that would fail code on a roof they go in the peaks on walls they go in the valley

Dewalt makes a 20v metal fastener gun. DCF624 versa clutch. And no its not the drywall one. Pretty sweet!

Thank You

[@bullfrog1807]

Over tightening also compromises the paint on the washer decreasing it’s lifespan

[@scottburns5049]

Let's be honest, ever screw on this type of metal roof is a potential leak, but not over driving extends the failure time!

[@ryantracey8574]

If the rubber isn't completely compressed and flattened how do you know it's tight

[@craiglacey2913]

You should have pre-drilled in screw pattern

[@kuttmowf]

Bro. That nail tho

[@woodnewf3847]

I can't find warshers at the hardware store.

[@user-oc6qs1po3j]

So what it is washer are not like old ones there not rubber. Think about this let's say night temp was 60 day temp gets up to 80 metal roof temp is probably over 100 so metal has atleast 40 degree temp swing. Metal moves alot an leaks on screws metal roof are good screws suck

[@johngowin7726]

yeah. don't under drive them either. it works both ways.

[@ArnoldandSonsExteriors]

The screw to the right is way over tightened! 😂😂😂

[@Anna.Jingguanjia]

good job

[@ProjectNEXT1]

Thanks

[@sidneyspivey8199]

It’s a fact that water erosion on the rubber causes the roof to leak. If you want a leaky roof in 15 years, Screw it in the flat

[@superdinmt]

Whats string line for? Not needed whatsoever

[@elvispresley5909]

Wondering the same thing..lol!!

[@ds--pu1tv]

It makes it easier to keep the screws in line so your not guessing.

[@superdinmt]

@@ds--pu1tv all screw holes should pre drilled on the ground when they are in the stack from the shipper. Precisely drilled all at once.

[@ds--pu1tv]

@@superdinmt yeah that's how most people i've seen does it however i have seen some who don't pre drill and do just fine, but yes i do agree pre drilling makes a world of difference especially when your roofing on an angle.

[@idadho]

Metal ROOFS, not ROOVES. Use a drill driver with a reliable clutch, not an impact driver. Let the drill clutch set the screw. An impact driver requires perfect trigger control and consistent battery power. You create a dimple in the roof with an impact driver.

Those will eventually leak no matter how you install them. They make a screw with a cap over the washer. It keeps you from over tightening the screw and protects the washer from the weather

Those screws do not last anyways, you should be caulking them when you are done,. I Chase roof leaks for a living and the biggest problem of a metal roof are the rubber washers are gone and weathered and water is going down the screw hole. our solution is to use a fat to screw with a bigger, rubber washer, and then caulk it.

[@homesteadhaven2010]

We use the better screws. No washer just a cone with rubber in it. Much better screw.
