Installing metal roofing and the associated trim is not that difficult to do. Here I apply drip edge, fascia, gable trim, and the metal roof panels on my tiny log cabin build.

OMG! I FINALLY found a video detailing BOTH gable ends and showing what happens when you get to the opposite gable and don't land on a rib. Use a furring strip, or plan the roof to purposely land on a rib. Not only did you break that down with perfect details, the entire video was in perfect detail as well. I mean gosh, I wish there were more videos with REAL details like this one. YOU SIR, ALONG WITH MAYBE 2 1/2 OTHER PEOPLE, ARE WHAT MAKES KZbin DIY WORTH IT, especially after searching and wasting hours upon hours watching dozens of videos for weeks looking for a PROPER metal roofing installation video. Literally, 99 percent of these construction videos, whether "professional" or DIY, leave out important details that are needed for people who are actually planning to build. I don't watch these videos for entertainment or just to wind down for the day, or just because I like watching them. I ACTUALLY plan to build, so I need details that most of these wannabe "Home Improvement Show," babbling on about nothing, videos on KZbin leave completely out, which then have me searching for years on end. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PROPERLY DETAILED VIDEO, I greatly appreciate it!

Nice job on the roof. I am building a small shed for my hole house generator and decided to put a metal roof on, as opposed to a shingle roof. The roof is hinged to allow access to the generator inside and the shingle roof was too heavy. This metal roof is much lighter and serves the purpose. I was particularly interested in the gable end caps that you used and how you installed that. Nice job on that. Thanks for posting...Roger

Well that last rib isn't really to hold up the gable ends it mostly to stop water from going to the edge. You can hold it up by the side screws. It's best to measure entire length and devide by 9 inches so a rib don't fall right where that end piece needs to sit flat.

@GrandDudeBill10 ай бұрын
I am sure it seems blatantly obvious.... but uhhhh, its expensive and want to be accurate. I am roofing a 20x20 leanto shed essesntially. Measure from one end to other end and side to side... add 2 inches to each end and each side for overhang? Divide width by size of panels and get the sum total of how many panels I need? If I wanted a panel 18 feet 3 and 5/16s - they will make it that length? I know I said 20x20 - but asking that the metal can be cut specifically to the size I want. Thanks! Very informative video!
@LancoAmish10 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. What you described is correct. However the width of a panel is not the same as the coverage of a panel due to the overlap. Make sure you are using coverage for your calculation. Yes, if you have a metal roofing manufacturer or supply house they will manufacture your panels to whatever length you need. You talk about overhanging the panels on the sides. They do make a gable end trim piece that covers edge of the panels by about 4” over the panel and 4” over tour gable boards. I don’t know if that’s something you can do or not.

When you put the ridge cap on, how do you keep the edge of the ridge cap from scratching the roof panels as you screw it down?
@LancoAmish7 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching. Sometimes you’ll get scratching no matter how careful you are. One way to help a bit would be to measure carefully and pre drill your holes in the ridge cap, place it in place and mark the holes and pre drill your roof metal. It definitely helps with 2 people on the roof. Snapping chalk lines can help making sure the cap is centered correctly before marking the roof metal. If all else fails and you do scratch then the roofing manufacturer should have touch up paint to match your colors and help prevent rusting.
