INSTALL METAL ROOFING

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

How much does one of these jobs cost for metal roofing?

You should have pre-drilled in screw pattern

Yikes that nail is going to come off soon I bet!

Smoked that finger some days ago 😂

The screw to the right is way overtightened btw

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

Ok washer steve

What did u throw and say when u smashed ur middle finger?

Yeah but those rubbers breaks up apart when it gets old too

WA…..as in Washer ….its not a sauce …it’s a washer

Bro. That nail tho

I’m watching this video at 3am after screwing down my roof in the garden with a wall screw because it’s banging in the wind. woke me the fuck up now I can’t sleep because I’m thinking it’s gonna leak and your video makes me wanna shoot my self in the head because it just confirms it. I’m going back sleep thanks for the info 😂😢

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.

Wow

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.

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

Friend of mine is gone for the winter. His roof is leaking. Thought I might use some of my old tin and...fix it at least where it's not leaking like it is.

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

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

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

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

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

That purple finger looks narly

Number one you should have stripped the f**** roof all that wait only a hat contractor these the old roof on

This guy smashes his fingers a lot that's all I have to say if you know you know

captain obvious

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

Those are too tight.

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

I see he gave himself a “nickey new guy!” lol ouch

Put a needle in that fingernail. Do it after dark it hurts less

Who cares about flat or ribbed placement, is this guy using a string line instead of predrilling?? 😂

You put your screws in the flats? Obviously you don't read instructions and don't care that those washers breakdown in the heat and at best only seal about 15 years.

Nice

Thanks bro!

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

Why would u screw into the pan and not the rib

Your lucky ive been drinkin.....cause being sober loosens my tongue

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.

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

Thank you

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

All I saw was that fingernail dam bet that hurt

Have you tried using a drill you can torque settings

Man , you workin too hard, i see ur string line over your screws... thats what pre-drill is all about, count ur panales per side, dont go too thick, no more then the lenght of the 1/8 drill bill, drill all the holes at once. use that string line for your bottom guide... i just measure up 2-3 inches and make a mark on the outside of the sheet so i don't have to run a string ling but sometimes walls have waves so string line helps for the overhang reveal.. also don't forget to crimp the top flats up a lil as a secondary measure for water not to get in.. ut totaly correct about the screws

this man really puts the hammer to the finger

That is where you put your screws

wrong, but thanks. rubber washers, over tight or perfect will become a leak down the road. Anyone using rubber washers with a pressure sources knows.

I can't find warshers at the hardware store.
