Great video, thanks. Do you recommend using the wood slats in every metal roof application? I will be installing metal on my patio cover with only about a 6% pitch. Thanks.
A trick for your ridge cap.... Cut some flashing strips from your scraps, say 3" x 10" or so.. . nail 4 of them onto a long 2x4 with flat roofing nails.. then screw those flashing strips in your top row of screws so that you'll have a walk board to stand on.... Make sure, when you nail the strips to your board, that it lines up with your highs, of coarse.. super easy to do and easy to move works great and doesn't scratch the roof and allows you to not be bending your ridge outta shape while you work.
DEBOSS GARAGE don't you have to use the pink insulation on top of shingles?
@@corndogextreme8887 What you’re looking for is called FanFold. It’s a 1/4” thick foam board insulation that comes in 4’x50’ folded sheets. This should be used in place of the purlins (wood slats). Purlins should only be used when the rafter/trusses are exposed.
@@calholli Sounds like a great idea but I'm having difficulty picturing how it all goes together and functions as a walk board. Can you provide a bit more detail so I can get the picture? Cheers Mitch
You need your own tv show. This is WAY better and more informative than anything I’ve seen in a long time. 👍
We have been offered three times now and turned them down every time.
He has one - we're watching it... spread the word brother!
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Dont do it because then you will be doing what the producer wants you to do. not what the viewers want. the way your doing it not works fine. old saying goes, If it aint broke dont fix it
I've done basic steel roofing on my barns, but you just gave me all the critical nuanced details to help me do my house without looking like an amateur and help me save $10K, mostly little details like the flashing and how to stay square, since I do have snow and ice this is good info Thanks Rich
You can tell there are a lot of hours and miles carried from your construction days when watching you do this. You are a wealth of knowledge! Roof looked really nice!
Race car, heavy equipment, construction. Has to be 3 channels, right? Nope, Deboss has it all in one stop
That being said when are you launching a cooking episode every car does atleast 1
One of the many things I like about your channel is the diversity of the builds thanks Rich
Agreed!
Thanks Rich. Roofing the house in the spring and I was arguing with myself “do it yourself/eff-it just pay someone”. You convinced me. Thanks. Tape Boss is a huge time saver BTW. Saves me many steps.
Thanks man!
I've been following your videos for years, NEVER, thought I'd find a diy metal roof over tar shingle video. Thank you for the info, because next year 2023 I'll be doing this to my home. Thanks again.
I appritiate you man, I get to work on my first metal roof tomorrow so I'm excited to know Ive got some great advice in advance. I was really concerned with stretching or shrinking, but you went over it very thorough. Thanks again Brother.
I never knew what I was doing but I found a guy with a lot of it. I did two large buildings then many years later you come along and show me how making apparent that I either never learned or forgot everything I did. I got back slaps and both roofs are really nice yet.
I still remember your garage build series, one of my favs. Thanks for sharing some knowledge!
We found adding a layer of foil insulation helped with cutting the heat transfer to our attic space as well as deadening the rain/sound factor. Great video! Thanks
Retired electrician, sister-in-law new house in construction 12-12 pitch getting a steel roof. Wondering how all flashings work, watching your video cleared things up,
Many thanks. Watching from Grande-Digue nb Canada
I have 3 small rental homes I am re roofing with metal. Thank GOD they are 5 -12 pitch! We are actually using 2.5 inch deck screws to secure the 1 x 4's and we are running them into the roof joist. We left the shingles on and I used a reciprocating saw to cut the the edge of the shingles off.
Best metal roof training on CZcams. Got my sub. Doing my first roof (4.5 slope on a 10 x 12 shed), and this vid saved my ass!
HEY BROTHER! You make this Canadian proud. Way to represent, man.
Superb quality instruction with ZERO fluff (except for the kat, of course).
Cheers!!!
I have learned more from this video than about the other two dozen videos I watched before this. Great video. Thank you so much.
If you enjoyed this, make sure to check out the entire barn we build on the channel
Thanks very much, very helpful, putting a new exposed fastener metal roof on my 40x44 garage next weekend. You answered a lot of my questions, and I'm feeling much more confident about the job now.
👍🍺
one of the best steel roof installation videos I have watched! keep up the good work!
Amen on bracing the bottom of the the ladder so it won’t kick out. My life changed when my ladder kicked out and I fell 35’ and broke my back, hip, and right wrist. Work smart… Thanks for sharing this video….
By far the absolute best explanation, detail, and exampled metal roof install ever. The fact that you give so much insight on experiential problems and solutions with zero pomp. Bro I would have helped for free cause you seem very chill. Sub'd
very educational... I'm impressed with your knowledge... looked like 1 of your valleys got a little crooked... please show the best way to measure and cut the valleys... thanks for the awesome vid...
Excellent video with good tips and I see that you used the seven P's . I mean you did prior proper planning, preventing pretty poor problems.
Now I gotta go watch your barn build.
Absolutely love the video. Love how much information you put out there and it is so easy to understand. Many thanks brother.
I never have watched a video from deboss without learning something. Great video and thanks the tips!
great video!
old family house had a vaulted ceiling (i believe it was done with scissor trusses) and there was an air pocket between the interior ceiling and the roofing plywood that ended up trapping moisture and heating up a lot.So even those roof types need to be vented
I had one that I did with a vaulted sealing this year and it caused heat to enter the house badly. It had an air gap, but I had to pack it full of expandable foam on two separate occasions and put a felt paper over the ridge before installing the ridge cap back. I wont be venting vaulted ceilings anymore. Not saying this problem will happen every time, but it caused me a lot of headache.
I gotta say I’m pretty damn impressed at how much you know about this I’ve been a roofer for a long time and I can say I agree with 98% of what you said the only thing I didn’t agree with was that they defiantly have a lot of roofing options that last longer than 15 years but then your getting into expensive territory and also we always put screws next to the rib so when you look down it you can’t see any screws but where I live we don’t get a lot of snow it’s about 1-2 months a year but we also have about a 90° weather change
Awesome video. So many tips and tricks. You're the master, and a great teacher as well.
Too funny. I was going to post "you da boss!" then I saw your channel name. Seriously. Thanks for the righteous video!
Hello Rich, I have to say that each steel manufacturer has his own recommendation as to where to put the screws be it peak or valley. Most of what I have used is on the flat with stitching screws (smaller shorter ones) used on the seam overlap and the peak cap. The other thing you might be missing is the panels are designed with the contours to be able to take the expansion and contraction. To overdrill your pilot holes is counterproductive because if drilled to be just a bit undersized when the screw is driven the steel will 'volcano' just a bit. Now when the neoprene washer comes down it makes an even better seal on the projection and water will most often run past very easily rather than climbing over. Take a look on some old steel at the screw holes and you can see this. I have not seen and have no knowledge of a properly screwed roof (as you say don't squish the seal) leaking. My own has been up for thirty years in our coastal high winds (at least once per year over 100mph) , wet snow and 160+ inches of rain per year without any failures. I am totally with you about walking on steel. I won't do it if it is even dew damp! And a harness is a must for even the most dare devil of installers. Take care. Doug
excellent counter points. Thanks!
I always drill a smaller pilot hole in my steel as I go along. I dont predrill sheets.
Great video, got to do mine here in Maine...your feedback on hot/cold expansion very helpful.
Timely video. I'm looking at a piece of land with 2 barns built in 1940 and I am pricing steel roof for 1. Deboss Garage is way cooler than roadswill.
Also, I used to manufacturer Waterproof sporting goods and we always used to say, "Never put holes thru anything that you want to be waterproof" Exposed fasteners seem to be most prone to leakage after a few years, IMO.
Love my metal roof. I have no need for a sliding board since installation. With a 4 12 pitch I can easily clear a 5 inch wide gutter. And let me add that an old springy deck is perfect for landing. Roofers have my utmost respect.
lol, hope it's a basement house, low to the ground :))
@@throttlebottle5906 What's the fun in that? ;>)
been there done that, ran off at the end by 2" and lesson learned after 1st metal roof. rear porch and the trim + tall height hid it anyway..
I learned a lot! I will use this video as a "go to" time and time again! Thanks!
Tip from a roofer ever been rock climbing use there harnesses and ropes and a asender makes it comfortable and safe 😀
Nice video. I grew up roofing and siding right out of high school, followed by tree service, followed by grease monkey. Now that I own a home and some of the shingles are peeling, Been thinking pretty hard about a metal/tin roof just due to overall cost. Love the diversity of your channel. P pump swapping an 84 F350 CC and 6.0 LS swapping an 89 LSC.
Awesome!
One of the best DIY videos out there, thanks.
I was looking for dyi on how to do this and then I saw deboss did it. I trust him.
Okay, that was weird. I was trying to learn about how to fix the metal roof on my new house. I clicked this and there was Rich!! WTF!? I am subscribed for the vehicle content, and here we are!
Tape boss looks good. I just bought one on line. I didn't know you could record 3 different measurements at once. Totally cool.
Tape boss is awesome ! Also metal roof looks good ! Job well done and explain the process
Thank you for demonstrating the “stretch/shrink” method. I was confused at first.
So many seriously great ideas in this video. The kind of stuff that definitely isn't in the installation brochure.
Another thing I have to add is, you really need to locate and make sure your nails are hitting the rafters when nailing the 1x4's on. If not you are just nailing into old plywood in many cases.
Or crappy OSB.
Esp if your mailing into a mobil home
Great video, Rich! Looks good!
Best guide on metal roofing I have seen so far. Thank you for this video.
You are amazing man. Don't stop what you do.
What an awesome place in the country! The roof turned out beautiful.
How do you get around roof vents without them leaking?
Where I live we have something called condensation. using pine perlins, non-galvanized nails, and creating air space between the shingles and the metal roofing is sure to cause condensation. The water formed will rot the perlins and rust the nails.
Great video and perfect timing for my rigging project
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you... super guide to the installation of metal roof. Really helpful for my soon to be installation!!!
You my friend, make the best diy by far, for installing metal roofing
Check out our garage build start to finish!
I love the crazy builds you do but I also really like these construction videos.
F-ing stud right there. Great info...right amount of detail. Good vid...love the softer side with the kitty. But seriously dude, proud to be a Canadian with you. You're cool. Awesome tips.
You are so funny!
Thank you for your metal roof information loved it!
Huge amount of information. Thank you
DEF make more CONSTRUCTION vids!!. I love post frame. Would love some more of ur wizardry wisdom )))
You did a fine job in explaining the procedure! You said you are in Canada, which part? I have been to Toronto, Mississauga! I am looking into installing this type of roof system. Shed roof, 24 ft. wide, 3/12 pitch. with 2 ft. overhang. I calculated 26' ft. 8" 13/16" total length. I am thinking I can get 28 ft. lengths? Good job on your detailed explanation. I am sure I can do the job with attention to detail, and no leaks! Thank you again!
Thank you, great video. Do you also put foam straps under metal at bottom near eaves? And, what do you do if have roof vents and want to put peak vents in instead?
I love steel roofs. Lasts a lifetime with virtually zero maintenance.
that's how the whole home should be built. we need to build right and MAGA, or MCGA, I guess.
Good explanation. Good video. Thanks a bunch !!!
Looks dang good like the way he covers so much.
Great installation buddy!!👍
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
This video was sooo entertaining!!
Around how much was to metal your garage
Not only materials but if you paid your labor??
Thx for the video. I’m building a 10’x12’ Gazebo with a hip roof. I’ve never installed steel roofing but I’m going to give it a shot.
Please don’t fasten through the ribs. That is super wrong
@@dustinbaker6947 I didn’t..👍
Not sure I would do this myself but if I did you did a great job explaining things!!
vic west makes a dropped valley the back fold in the valley stops rain from blowing up under the steel
On the ridge cap, I put it on after one side of the roof metal has been installed. When installing the second side of the metal, slide it under the cap and install screws in the 30 (or 36) inches of the new metal as you go along. This will keep you from having to go out on the ridge after all the panels have been set. If you do it last, besides flattening the ridge cap, it is almost impossible to set it straight!
Great tip! Thanks
Fantastic idea
Cool video, this is something I've been thinking of doing.
this is so good! Thank you! what kind of screws do you prefer using on the roof itself?
So doing the strapping the opposite of what you did is how I was taught because it helps with ventilation between the metal and shingles and here in Texas every little bit helps..
You take pride in your work that’s gone now days no one cares anymore what state are you in good work brother
Spare engine! great idea. made me decide to watch all the way through.
Good video. Lots of good info, had to watch a time or two to get it all. Would have loved to seen you do that flashing. Good video nonetheless. Thanks!
Funny and informative - showed it to my shop class.
THANKS for all the tips!
Excellent !! Great Teaching! A Man of many talents! Liked !! Subbed !!
Excellent video. Thank you.
I highly recommend using long wood screws between nails , preferably in rafters, a very bad wind can peel a metal roof off, I lost mine in a hurricane, next one was screwed, made it thru a hurricane
Had my house re roofed, they wanted to charge me for the old roof to hauled away, I needed scrap roofing for a project any ways. Came in handy.
For people that watch the video and didn't click SHOW MORE under the video:
As for ridge screws; check with the roof supplier. Some warranties have changed in recent years where-as the screws are installed on the ridge, the warranty is voided. I had my roof installed in 2012. The builders installed ridge screws (thus far no problems). In 2014 the same metal roof company changed their warranty (applied to 2014 and later installation) to only cover roofs that have screws in the flat areas.
Also, IF you are screwing into the ridge, BE SURE you are using the longer screws (NOT the 1" or 1.5") because the shorter screws will back out over time due to the roof flexing in hot and cold weather.
how do you install roof vents with the metal roof? I'm wondering if we can use our existing square vent and whirlybird locations not just a ridge vent. (maybe i missed it?)
A guy did our "Tin" roof using two foot spacing on the rows of screws, and didn't put down strapping. He snapped chalk lines to get them all even. Only problem was, every second row of screws went in the crack between sheets of plywood! The result: loose and weeping screws. (Screws always loosen due to the metal expanding and contracting with temperature changes.) So make sure you offset your rows to miss the cracks. You could make the first row at 18 inches. We tighten the screws every year, and put in bigger diametre screws when they don't hold any more. We've changed them out three times now. I keep saying I'm going to back the screws out, get up inside, and nail strapping on the underside of the deck, to give the screws some meat to bite into. But it's a pain, and I keep putting it off.
Great tips for my next project!
Great info and nice details. Only suggestion I would have to viewers is to never use exposed fasteners like this. They will always lead to failures. The sun will destroy that little rubber washer leading to leaks. Or if that screw isn’t perfectly perpendicular and perfectly driven it will leak. Thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing, very informative!
Princeton, Texas on the West side of lake Lavon My class four roof lasted 22 years ,winds of 80mph plus were not unheard of 1985 -2007,the roof was not leaking when I had it replaced, I though I had the best the roof could give, the insurance company gave me a 10% discount on my homeowners Insurance. The new roof had a 25 year warranty.
Excellent info on the dog house. I’m in Ontario Canada and planning to strap and do a similar rib roof for our unheated detached garage. When they built our garage in 2008, they blocked between the roof trusses at the peak. Since it’s unheated, I’m thinking to not cut the ridge sheathing for a ridge vent. Would like your thoughts on this. Thank you.
no bubble wrap under the metal for condensation and heat transfer???
EXCELLENT video!!!! Thank you!!!
I use a climbing harness with a accender I recommend it
You sold me on the tape boss, didnt realize you were the owner so I'll buy 2 to support ya, plus the cut guy will prolly like it
exceptional video. you're a REAL AMERICAN. absolutely amazing. thank you for the instructions.
Thanks! (except I'm Canadian....)
My apologies. What an amazing Canadian! Thanks again for the videos. I will be passing them on to others.
I want to crimp a 4 inch deep 20 degree end on my Panel Loc Plus to insert under my other roof. Do they make a jig to do this?
Interesting video, I learned a lot, I did learn one important thing let a qualified roofer do the job no way I would try it, plus the fact I'm scared of heights lol.
Hi--great informative video...just a couple questions, if you've got a minute...regarding James Biggar's comment regarding underlay over the strapping to prevent rot--valid point, or not a big concern with shingled roof and it's vapour barrier still in place? (The garage example he'd used was direct over ply in an unfinished space).
Also, I'm in Ontario, and don't mind driving--could you please point me in the direction of your supplier (the prices you'd mentioned in one of your replies is pretty hard to beat)? Thanks again for sharing so much great info
