Metal Roof and Trim Installation...It's Not Difficult...Tiny Log Cabin Part 16

[@KeoniKoa]

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!

[@LancoAmish]

Thank you so much for watching and the super nice comment. You don’t know how much I appreciate both!!

That’s exactly why I’m here. I’m currently at the opposite end on my roof and don’t want to do it wrong.

[@wmnorman512]

I also bought my roofing at Wagler… great product! Did you happen to video any of details of your friend installing the ridge cover?

[@apaulothegreat1581]

Well said my friend, thanks for taking up what I didn't say. These words hit the nail on the head

[@FLYBOYMATTHEW75]

I’m just here wondering why the furring strip is even needed? Screw gable trim to the roof, screw it to the fascia at a 90, don’t step on it.

Most helpful metal roofing video on the internet.

[@billcrypto1291]

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.

[@shawnleslie6632]

You are a good teacher my friend. It may inspire me to build my own or some of it on some mountain property we have some day.

[@LancoAmish]

Thank you so much for watching and the super nice compliment!

[@rogerschroeder4020]

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

[@LordoftheCats]

I used two cargo tie-downs to hold my panel in place while I positioned the sheet where I wanted it. I tied one end to the opposite side of the roof and used the hook to hold the panel on the working side. Worked purdy good! :-)

[@LancoAmish]

Nice idea!! Thanks for watching.

[@gb-jg1ud]

4:12 a gap under the metal that large will make servicing it and getting up on it at a later date to service it without dent or seambdamage nearly impossible. You need to always assume worst case that someone will always just try to walk or crawl up there in an emergency or roof repair

[@NEWMOONER]

[@sth9460]

Very good video. What is under your purlins (radient barrier rigid board insulation, osb sheating, underlayment) ? What? Thanks

[@LancoAmish]

3/4” tongue and groove pine then foil faced foam. Check out the videos before this one in the series. I show the application.

[@alvarojimenez5705]

Great video, super informative simple well explained 💯

[@LancoAmish]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting. They are both sincerely appreciated.

[@BenjaminSahlstrom]

Thank you!

[@joaquinsalvador3133]

On minute 12:20 wouldn't be better if you place the cut edge underneath the rib, so you don't see the rough edge?

[@wherearewegoing3657]

Just a suggestion, on the rake edge you could either cut down the center of the ridge or bend a 90-degree edge in the steel so you don't have wood with possible exposure to water.

[@snurb48]

Can anyone tell me why the manufacturer wants butyl tape on the overlapping seams? There is a water channel in the overlap that would be plugged doing it that way! I also believe it's going to distort the overlap connection because that clay type tape will not squish down especially in the cold. Much appreciate the info.

[@maxpower1413]

I've been roofing in Australia for 25 years, it's amazing how almost everything you did we would do opposite but reading the comments here, if I told you how it's supposed to be done over here I would probably be told I'm an idiot. pan fixing for example is just roofing 101, never screw into the pan, or at the gable end we would fold the edge of the sheet up and bring the barge flashing all the over to the last rib

[@LancoAmish]

Almost every manufacturer of roofing here recommends not screwing into the ribs. It’s funny how things are so different. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ivanborja9325]

Great informative video for diy! Super helpful

[@rerite2]

Great video. Thanks! For the "purlins," what type of wood do you use? What are the dimensions? How are apart are they from each other? Much appreciated.

[@michaelbritton9778]

Excellent job.

[@nyba23]

i have a dormer gable window what would that cost for material

[@joaquinsalvador3133]

Wouldn't be better to screw on the top of the ribs instead of in the channel, to prevent water leaks? I have seen people screwing on the Ribs, is that right or wrong?

[@robertpiatt7264]

Fantastic video. Incredibly helpful. Ty sir

[@jamesbagos3459]

What did you use for the base below the purloins? Is that insulated foam board or some other type of waterproofing substrate

[@LancoAmish]

The sheathing is 3/4” barn siding then foil faced rigid insulation.

[@jamesbagos3459]

@ thank you, I’m reroofing an actual old log cabin for my son and that’s what I was planning on using, just wanted to make certain, would you recommend a water barrier between the wood and foam like Ice and water shield or is that overkill in your opinion

[@castein98]

Very nice instructions Thank you.

[@sirmalus5153]

How do they stop these small screws "pulling out" of OSB board or plywood, once the wind has had time to work on them over long periods?

[@LancoAmish]

@@sirmalus5153 , thanks for watching…screws should be checked every one or 2 years. I haven’t had any loosen but they can.

[@mistersavage6799]

Can you do that with a wall with texture and paint?

[@joleaiperlis5347]

How long are those metal sheets??

[@ourcountryacres4862]

Perfect vid!!!

[@theweightliftinglab]

Awesome video! For your metal roofing on your lean to roof, did you just use drip edge all the way around with an overhang? Thanks a lot!

[@LancoAmish]

If you are asking about this roof in this video, I used a specially bent "drip edge" at the eaves and a gable end trim on the edges making the peak.

[@theweightliftinglab]

Sorry no. There’s a building in the back of this video that has a lean to roof with metal roofing. I’m wondering if you used drip edge to do all four sides of that roof as it doesn’t come to a peak at the top? Thanks 😊

[@LancoAmish]

@@theweightliftinglab , I used drip edge on the bottom and sides. On the top I used a bent angled piece to cover the roofing and the fascia. I made it 8” coverage on the roofing and I think 6” over the front edge. It’s screwed on to the roofing ridges underneath with roofing screws.

[@mentalbreak4653]

Very nice work

[@gb-jg1ud]

Always lay the steel directly on the roof deck with ice and water shield underneath

[@Outlaw_kris]

Why then you have issues with heat transfer

[@gb-jg1ud]

@@Outlaw_kris minimal heat transfer issues compared to laying it on runners over an existing asphalt roof. Most importantly the ice and water shield is a critical vapor barrier because steel sweats and frosts under rapid temperature and humidity changes. Keeping the surface stable also prevents nails from surfacing into the steel on an older roof.

[@gb-jg1ud]

@@Outlaw_kris you never want to lay a steel roof over runners with large gaps between it needs to be able to be re serviced and accessed without bending or damaging the seams

[@logan214]

I live in York county Pa, where did you purchase the roofing material? Lancaster area?

[@larrymorse6875]

[@FLYBOYMATTHEW75]

Why not use one long piece of gable trim, bend it and cut a relief at the ridge?

[@LancoAmish]

If it came in pieces that long that would work. However, they are 10’2” long. One piece won’t do it.

[@thomasschafer7268]

😮😮wenn man schon im Tal schraubt ,dann sollte man auch die passenden Schrauben mit großer Dichtscheibe nehmen und keine 3/8" fassadenschrauben!!!

[@GrandDudeBill]

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!

[@LancoAmish]

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.

[@JohnLeahy]

What’s your thinking in putting the screws in the valleys. In snow and winter where we can get ice …we put screws on top of the ribs.

[@FreeAmerican-mm2my]

Old method was to always put on ribs. Most seem to put on flats now. I have repaired more problems with rib screws than with flat screws. Bottom line - your preference UNLESS the metal manufacturer instructs otherwise.

[@LancoAmish]

I go with what the manufacturer recommends. They have much more data to go on than anyone.

[@nikolasevcenko2627]

Screws are going in the valleys.

[@prmcollin]

Flats sandwich together better. The ribs are creased so they aren’t as stable

[@stevenfoust3782]

Manufacturers of this type of panel say screw on valley because metal is thin. Screws have rubber washers to seal hole.

[@Josh-Cody]

How do you Allow for Expansion & Contraction Using Corrugated roof metal??

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. There’s no way to stop it with exposed fasteners like seen here. Using a good quality metal panel with fasteners spaced and tightened correctly can help minimize it. Metal roofs like this will pop and creak when the the temp changes suddenly.

[@gb-jg1ud]

Shorter sections to overlap are the only way to control expansion on either a standing seam or corrugated roof. It typically is not an issue with panel sections 16 foot or less.

[@fergferguson7370]

Great video👍

[@CharlesSchulte-i9f]

Where did you buy your gable trim? The big box stores around me do not have that type. The stock I found is raised on both sides.

[@LancoAmish]

You’ll have to find a metal roof fabricating company or a building supply that can order it for you. Mine came from Wagler Steel in Lancaster County PA. g.co/kgs/1Zbjmns

[@celestestone]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@thearmy88ify]

The gable trim should be one continuous piece at the ridge by cutting a relief and bending around.

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I’ve done it that way also. I see no real advantage one way or the other. I just out checked out multiple metal roofing sites and most are similar to what I did.

[@rocknral]

Not sure how you're handling that on a house that's 40ft wide.

[@ValerioGonzales-tv8tk]

[@lifewiththerockykrag9536]

[@Mynameisdiy]

[@LancoAmish]

Call local lumberyards or search for metal roofing fabricators in your area. Supply depends where you are. You can also search for pole barn supply companies or pole barn builders.

[@SquidGunman]

Really nice!

[@steve_main]

8:48 And if your gabel side and facia side both cannot be happy at the same time, you installed your roof out of square :)

[@dariocetinjanin4633]

Why don’t you also put vertical battens from bottom to top that sit on rafters, that way there would be much more air flow in combination with horizontal battens?

[@b-radumuck7903]

My walmart rugged sharks have sorta a safety grip but I'm only afraid if I think I'm gonna fall.. and on a metal roof it's really way to easy to slide right off. not to use a rope at least . But I want me some magnet shoes for sure

[@LancoAmish]

Metal roofs are murder on the ankles too.

[@screwchannel2047]

Hello mr... 💪💪👍👍👍good.

[@Corbindaolympicfarmer]

Why did you screw down in the valleys and not on the ridges?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching and leaving a question. Most manufacturers recommend metal roofing be attached on the flats. Not only does screwing through the ridge not make use of the washer very well it can distort the roofing when tightened too much. I know of no one in this area, there are dozens and dozens of construction crews here using metal, that screw the ridges. Thanks again.

[@Corbindaolympicfarmer]

@@LancoAmish I heard it's better for keeping the roof square and not distorting the roof.. I put my first screws on the flats up top when doing a gable roof.. makes sense to do it on the flats cause it does distort the roof doing it on the ridges.. I'm curious how that goes Long term and do you put paint over your screws when finished?

[@NP-rw3xk]

Is it OK to overlap my last panel more than 1 rib to avoid cutting it?

[@LancoAmish]

No problem.

[@sethhiggins6149]

Not a good idea.. you'll have to run your screw tighter to ensure there's no gap because the metals will separate from each other and the wood with your first initial screw.. metal sweats and that extra lap will hold that moisture between the panels.. Hopefully not too many people listened to the "tips" that were given because they will have problems with their roofs

[@maxpower1413]

no, the sheet will rust out in a few years where it's been back lapped

[@fredduncan1610]

Did you do a video on the ridge cap?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. No I did not. The ridge cap is centered on the ridge and screwed through the top of the ridges of the roofing underneath. The screws should be at least 2” long to make sure they grip into the wood purlins along the ridge.

Why not just use self-tapping screws instead of drilling holes in the metal?

[@LancoAmish]

The holes make it so much easier…no chalk lines to snap to keep screws lined up, no slipping screws to cause scratches that rust, and can reach farther to install the screws. The screws are self tapping but that doesn’t mean drilling is a waste of time.
