Installing metal roofing sheets to the rear wall

'Maintenance free' - two of my favourite words! Very nice finish.

[@abhisingh1836]

I doubt it. It is only free.

Great video, I'm having to look into other cladding options to comply with building regulations! Another great video!

Great idea - many thanks! Are you able to show how this meets the corner of the cedar please?

[@jackfoley5436]

Would love to see this

[@recce45]

@@jackfoley5436 I'm interested how this connected to the cedar. Good vids thanks

[@StevenHoare-qc8pj]

Yes that would be great to see

[@grim-upnorth]

I've chosen metal box profile sheets for the back and 1 side of my garden room too. It will be in the corner of my garden so only the front and right elevation will ever be visible, so thought it best to save time and money by using this on the walls you won't see. Thanks for the video

[@SISTIC1]

Quality job. Love the attention to detail, which nowadays builders-especially in London-tend not to have! Great job!

[@pftrader0149]

Thanks can you show us how it Marries up to the cedar.... it looks great, wish I hadn’t bought the shiplap that’s sitting on my driveway 😩 where do you get this from?

[@BurghalBeatnik]

@william griffin what do you do with the corners, steel sheet to steel sheet and also steel to cedar. Thank you

[@andrewlittlewood8057]

Did you get an answer or work out what they used pal ?.

[@paulwills3774]

Thanks for the video Liam exactly what I was looking for!

[@arbit3r]

Excellent video. If you get a chance can you show us the detail on the corners?

[@nickdemetriades335]

Another well presented and informative vid Liam. Great to see the high standards being upheld. Love that finish....low maintenance too. Keep them coming

[@tonyalways7174]

That’s good work especially adding the pop rivets to join the edges. Not many people seem to bother and instead run a bead of silicone but the rivets are a great touch. 👍🏻

[@davidkeely869]

That was riveting.

[@themorfill]

Can I ask why you chose to cross batten for the metal sheets? Wouldn't horizontal battens be enough?

[@CharlieChapling]

Looks great, just what I needed to start myn

[@davidheywood1493]

Great job as always you gave me a few ideas I look forward to your videos

[@chrisluc6651]

Great job looks great using the idea myself on my bulid where is the best place to get them places ive found on Internet are all small panels ? Thanks 👍👍

[@johngard4969]

Great info Liam- how did you cut the sheets ?

[@bobtee65]

Not sure if roofing iron is "designed" any different here than in Australia, but looks like you've overlapped the sheets the wrong way!

[@asif530]

Hi Liam. Great work. Just wondering if you could have overlapped them without riveting them and just use the tek screws into the batten with enough overlap

[@AccountantDoesDIY]

Was wondering the same thing - will save me having to buy that rivet gun!

[@thegardenroomguru]

you can, just the little over lap was a bit of a bug bear for us. and its too small to centre a tech screw

[@asif530]

@@thegardenroomguru OK thanks mate

[@smudger304]

@@thegardenroomguru it's the correct way to fix them though, the small lap should be on top with stitcher with EPDM gasket washers.

[@deborahnorthover5304]

What a great idea, take care and stay safe.

[@MT-ej8zx]

Can I ask do you need planning permission for a 5x4m garden room in the bradford, West Yorkshire area

[@laidbackmedia]

You are installing the cladding wrong. Cladding this wall from left to right your sheets are upside down lol. You are overlapping with the underlap edge, the underlap edge should never be seen. Rivets are not recommended either, use stitcher screws on the point of the cladding.

[@bobtee65]

Should never use a grinder to cut your steel either... always use tin snips.

[@loocstac]

Someone told me a really handy tip for making putting the rivets in so much easier. It was to make sure you have your weetabix in the morning! Top vid as always.

[@grantcook5376]

Two needed actually lol

[@smudger304]

There are a few issues with the installation of the sheets and flashings that I've noticed from a few videos, I'm a Sheeter and Cladder of nearly 20 years now so there are industry standards that aren't being applied. That being said you guys aren't Sheeter and Cladders and you can tell your workmanship is of a high standard, it's a case of learning as you go with these thing and the benefits of putting your work up for scrutiny on youtube is you get the right way of doing it pretty quickly from someone with the experience. Any of us can sit and add criticism but we've all cut corners/doing something slightly wrong, but as long as you learn for the next time and you haven't really fudged it up that it needs rectifying then all good. Using the kingspan panels I think is a better way of you getting over your "hybrid roof saga" as this is a fully formed warm roof ready to go and solves your problem with height. Though the span issue may not be to regs, is it going to be stomped all over/have large loads regularly? Probably not. Pragmatic and professional wins all day long!

[@Discodave676]

So what are the issues?

[@johnluke8785]

Thanks for the video Liam, and for the channel as a whole. I’ve just one question, do you use any insect mesh at the bottom of the metal cladding? If so, what product is it? If not, how do you ensure it will be free from insects by the time? Thank you.

[@scottw3780]

You can get foam infills from the cladding supplier, you can also fit trim that the sheet ends sit upon.

[@Perryhartley]

How much more expensive would this be rather than further edge,? And is it ideal to do it this way or the feather edge way if I need to build the wall fully because I won't be able to get round the back

[@mikebilsland]

Great info! Do you seal around the top under the soffit? to stop any moisture getting in?

[@thegardenroomguru]

no mate, theres double battens on the wall allowing air flow

[@paulmonaghan2174]

Great videos as always Did you do a video for cutting the metal sheets? I intend to use these on my build and would be keen to see how you cut through the 6 sheets at the same time Thanks again

[@scottw3780]

Just use an angle grinder with a cutting disk, have you started your project yet, I’m thinking of using sheeting for 3 walls and ceder at the front

[@paulmonaghan2174]

@@scottw3780 I'm using sheeting for 2 walls and cedral type fibre cement cladding for the other 2

[@MrLeew1234]

Hi do you use osb boards behind roofing sheets for side panels

[@GeeWhizRS]

Nice job. Just watch those pop rivet guns for the waste part of the rivet flying out of the back of the gun. I was stood behind someone using one once and the centre part flew past my head. Would have blinded me a few inches to the right. I always use the ones with a plastic collector on the back now. 👍🏻

[@dv8961]

Great video as always!

[@simonward1016]

A great video William, thanks for sharing. I am building a workshop 5.7m x 3.1m, because of space constraints the rear wall and one side wall will be 200mm off the garden fence. I will be boarding with concrete boards and cladding with metal for fire protection. My question is I wont be able to get behing the wall and side to clad so was going to pre construct the rear wall and side on the floor, and move into place once done...Can you offer any advice on how best to do this?

[@plummetplum]

This is exactly what I'm going to do. I'll construct the back wall fully, frame, OSB, cladding then lift it into place. Then same for sides.

[@david1346]

Liam outstanding, i was looking for that video forever :D is there a particular reason why you didnt put the rivets in line with the tec screws but slightly above? Seeing its all nicely color coordinated i just wondered why its not in line :)

[@couplandsj]

I’d guess because the batten is behind (where the screws go)…?

[@extremeways2930]

Where you cut the metal sheets. Have you any concern about the bare metal rusting, creeping and the coating coming off. Or is that too far down the line o be of consequence?

[@smudger304]

This will happen unfortunately, and it won't be that far in the future either. That's why a nibbler should be used not a grinder as it doesn't damage the coating.

[@jimgeelan5949]

Nice one Will, does that get over the boarder limit of non combustible material ?

[@harryshepherd5665]

Did you work this out by any chance?

[@XX-dp8un]

Can you put the metal cladding on before you put the wall up?

[@pewe393]

By doing so you would have an arduous job of scribing your soffit into the wall panels. You could leave a gap above for your soffit to slot into but it wouldn't leave a lot of room for tolerance especially as there may not be room behind the building to mastic the joint.

[@XX-dp8un]

@@pewe393 That's a good point, I guess I'll just have to loose the space behind. Thanks

[@AccountantDoesDIY]

Quite like the look of those - would it be possible to simply use them all the way round for cladding? I like the idea of no maintenance ever required as well.

[@thegardenroomguru]

definitely, they use them on most warehouses

[@scottw3780]

@@thegardenroomguru do you need the double Batton design, or could you get away with a single?

[@snecklifter]

@@scottw3780 am wondering the same thing. It seems that single might be ok due to the profile of the metal sheets. Did you ever find out?

[@scottw3780]

@@snecklifter yeh,I went with single, I was almost going to go with no battons and go straight through the OSB into the studs, but much easier to use a single row of battons for lining up tho.

So I assume that now you have realised cheap feather edge was pretty crap , and definitely not going to," last the life time of the building ", as you love to say, you will be retro fitting the steel sheets to the back of the buildings for the people you fitted feather edge for just a matter months ago, free of charge?

Not a criticism mate but the full Corry overlap what your riveting is the underlap, lap it the other way it is neater, with a pop rivet on your bolt lines 👍👍
