People in Guatemala live in this type of structures with metal beams
We’re gonna get you a parachute Joey!!?
always screw on the ridge, never the valley, usually only need screws every 24 inches in either diretion
How do you smooth the edges? I covered the lid to my nesting box with this metal and its so sharp
Try put a crush and fold on the metal if its a square peice if its round not to sure
We didn’t. My roof is too high up for me to worry about. This stuff is so thin I am not sure you could dull it enough. You could try sand paper or a file.
Did you install any type of ventilation cap on the high side by the overhang ?
The soffit on both front and back is just screening. This way there is ventilation for the whole barn.
I am sure you are excellent in your ability but I couldn’t hear a thing you were saying – which is REALLY frustrating
My alologies for that. Since this video we have started using external microphones and we are currently saving up for a better camera with directional microphone
Thanks for watching!
My wife feels the same way about heights. We both appreciate your wife’s sacrifice
First time doing a metal roof myself but is this water proof or do I need to do anything extra after laying and lap the tin honestly stuck
Not the special screws Tony mentions…they have a rubber grommet backing to seal against water.
This was the first of three roofs we have done on the homestead now. So far no leaks with just lapping them. They do need to be straight and perfectly parallel to each other.
Do you have plans for your goat barn? It looks just like what I am looking for on my property.
It is too thin. When I added the rain water collection I layed a board over it and walked on the board.
Sorry, no we do not. I just kind of built it.
Did you put a cap on the higher edge at all for rain protection? Im building something similar. Thanks!
No,I did not. The metal sticks out over the wood, and there is a fascia board in the front as well.
thanks for the tips!
Is the install the same for a home?
Yeah depending were you live some countys require plywood under the metal roof
Makes sense to screw the ridge less water. Valley all water…
how far apart are the studs and what gauge is that metal? your posts go all the down into the ground? It would seem that an Arrow 10×15 carport is not a bad deal at $750?
The roof rafters are 2 feet apart, the metal is real thin, I bought it at Lowes. the barn sits on cinder blocks. As for price, I have a saw mill, so lumber cost me my time. Thanks for stopping by!
Can someone tell me how many screws to buy??? And 1 inch or 2 inch??? I’m doing a 500 sq ft coverage, 22 sheets that are 10ft long and 8 sheets that are 12 ft long
aditaDE Not positive but think it was supposed to say Blue Chalk not caulk (probably spellcheck) when marking horizontal lines..sometimes you use it with a string (Chalk line) to “pop” a line to keep screws on runners, not necessary with plywood below, but would look cosmetically better. Best wishes with your project!
@aditaDE I would skip the caulking if you’re in arid area, may suggest hi temperature ice and water shield, the heat from the metal roofing may dry rot the plywood. I’m not completely sure about the design of your carport but you may need some information on headwall, rake edge, and eave metal flashing. 1-1/2″ fasteners pass through your plywood and prevent wind blow offs.
Dark Dan oh by the way it has a 1 foot drop across flat roof , its not a gable
Dark Dan i did buy 1 1/2 neoprene fastners but I wasn’t considering the plywood. Its gonna be the 22/32 in width. Something like that. Its a little over half an inch.
Dark Dan ok so we decided to put it over plywood. We were gonna do just on top of the beams (not sure if thats what the are called, but the 2×4 going across. But we decided to put plywood becaue tempd here reach 120-125 degrees. Is a cart port. We want to minimize the heat radiating down. Why the caulking? Caulking will not resist temps here. No rain. Very dry weather. Desert down in south california.
