How to bend a ridge cap for a metal roof like a professional

I’ve seen a lot of people post videos on metal roofing 90% of them make me laugh but here I show you how to bend a ridge cap perfectly and is very aesthetically pleasing .

Watched this a hundred times last night....till I got the sense of it. I think ive got it now. I shudder to think how my hip caps would have turned out if it wasnt for your great video....thanks , Lisa

[@Jim-vi5wi]

Thanks for the GREAT no nonsense video. After quite a bit of trial and error I came up with a very similar method for the same type of cap on my hip roof, but your method is easier/faster and looks just as good. Now I'm trying to figure out how to cut and fold of the same kind of cap at the intersection between two hips and a ridge. Hoping to find a video to speed up the process. Any ideas?

[@andrewsackville-west1609]

Hey, really nice demo!

[@LordoftheCats]

I wish I had seen this a week earlier! I'm off to order a new ridge cap to replace the one I butchered. LOL

[@SFCISME]

Very nice, I normally don't bend the second leg under but I may have to start now

[@Mikemetalroofing]

It looks way better with that extra step and slides under the drip edge

[@Quigz1983]

Just another question.sorry if I've been rude but why fold the bottom of the ridge under the sheets? I thought folding it down let's the water drip off?

[@johnnyholland8765]

I think maybe this guy has done this before? Yea he has done this before....

[@robbritchey339]

Great video. Much easier than the method I’ve been using. What was the pitch of the roof and do the measurements change with the pitch?

[@Mikemetalroofing]

The first measure will vary depend on pitch. This roof was a 6 i believe. To get the first measure is very easy just line up the ridge cap uncut and mark both sides at the drip edge if that makes sense.

[@Quigz1983]

No change in pitch he just used a set square tomarka 45 then muck around after that.

[@Quigz1983]

I didn't realise sorry a 45 degree cut changes on a pitch at a ridge capping... I always thought it was 45 to square without worrying about the pitch factor 🤔

[@Mikemetalroofing]

@@Quigz1983 I guess your a professional lol we didn’t go to a school to learn how to roof if you know everything wtf you doing looking this up lol

[@marktushar6122]

Looks great. I think it would be hard to do with thicker gauge Metal. I will definitely use this thanks

[@Mikemetalroofing]

This is the thickest gauge metal we work with, its commercial grade steel . Super thick not sure what gauge .

[@abell8533]

uff so clean ..

[@traceyjscott069]

Tab Under. Not tab over. Rivet the bend down to the tab under.

[@Mikemetalroofing]

True. This is a self taught method from trial and error. Thanks

[@bobbymiller9146]

How do u make hip cap run into gable rake. How do u cut that? Nobody makes videos of that

[@scottpiatek5687]

There is a video that shows exactly how it's done. Keep searching.

Do you know how to bend a cap for a pyramid hip roof?

[@Mikemetalroofing]

[@Quigz1983]

I'm drunk mate and a bored roofer so sorry for my comments sorry

[@Quigz1983]

Why not fold the sides down at the same time
