I’ve been working on building a small 8’x16’ shed behind the church, with post-frame construction and metal roofing, and there’s no way I could’ve figured all that out without the great videos you put up! Great stuff Kyle, informative and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work!
Kyle, has anyone ever said, "Nah Kyle, we aren't interested in the deatils of the jobs?" C'Mon Man, you know we love to see the detail. That's what sets you and Greg apart. We need to feed our knowledge,lol. You put out great content and we all feed on those up close detail videos. Thanks for your time and commitment to the channel.
Yes, please. Prepping a roof.
Makes me so warm and tingly in my reproductive organs. 😂
Definitely... .Please. 😊
Great work gentlemen. And how awesome is it to work with your son??? What a fantastic blessing.
During the crash, some of my best memories were with my dad, doing side jobs.
I love the way you explain yourself. Thank you and your team!!!
Preparation is necessary, and the closer to perfection in the job helps you all the way to the end product , if not it’s haunts you to the end . Great job guys
Y’all are Awesome! I’ve been strictly installing steel roof systems for 23 yrs now. I like to call it acquired peripheral as to hitting the perlins without missing😂 I love how y’all strive for absolute perfection 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Thanks for all the videos, they have been invaluable for residing and reroofing our shop that was TERRIBLY built to start with and your work is so clean.
Great progress Kyle, Cole & Greg. Well done buddies! 😁👍🏼
Yes prepping a roof video please. Might not get crazy views but the prep work is really key to the whole building being minty so would be greatly appreciated by those about to build one of these
Nothing better than having your son help out on a project.
Sure is
Would. Be nice to get some help from dam near any one.
You know thru the years I stuck with you not because I post frame? I am a finish Carpenter/ Contractor? The reason is on that roof with you today! You can work a lot to maintain & grow your business & be a great Dad! Even with your little girl Kyle !
You know who else benefits? His name is Greg! He now has a great boss and example of a man !
WAY TO GO KYLE!
you have my vote for a detailed roof install vid. the nerdier the better. :)
You guys are Awesome !!!!!!.... and you are teaching your kids to be men !! ....... Cheers from Canada
You’re attention to detail is great.
would love a video on setting up for square how its done ! simply love your videos, I lost my shop to a fire and have purchased my building was going to build this fall but fell and broke my hip so now have to wait another six months I get so much from your work Thanks so very Much, Dave
Thanks for the videos. just about ready to build my first building using a lot of these videos.
18:10 “…I’m gonna use my other shoulder, that way I can do damage to both of them, not just one…” 😂.
I hear ya! It’s called getting old 😅
I've learned a lot from you sir!!! Thank you❤❤❤
Fantastic know-how. Clearly, this ain't your first rodeo! Beyond impressive!!
Worth the watch just to learn how you lap your roof edge, also the joke about wrecking both shoulders was great, lol. Good work my friend.
GREAT JOB GUYS ! From California
You guys make it look so easy… and since Kyle flat out refuse to come to Tennessee… I’m seriously thinking do it myself.
Cole is doing a great job!
Morning Kyle, thank you for answering my question about the lapped purlins, I understand now!
I was confused on the process because I saw you punching holes in the whole stack of sheets previously but now I realize that was probably just for the siding not the roof metal which makes sense. Thanks again, I really enjoy watching the videos. Keep up the great work.
👍
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
I'm surprised. An extraordinary job 😀
A knowable 3rd hand is helpful, I can see you're a good teacher (father)
Perfect Work.
Love your content
I was always taught to not put the screws in the flats unless it was metal to metal. If it leaks the wood will rot before you can see the leak if its a slow leak
wow, great video, good the young man is learning from his daddy thanks for the great info
Wow great job
For those of you watching and reading, I worked in the quality department of a steel building company for years, you also get surface rust if you pre-drill out the holes and don't clean the shavings off... cannot tell you how many times I had to visit a jobsite that said their panels were rusting and it ended up being surface rust from them drilling and leaving shavings on the panels... think bare metal fellas.
I've found the shavings from drilling are very hot & will melt through your finish any place they land.
Great advice man, thank you!
I’m doing my garage and will make sure it’s shaving free.
Something I honestly wouldn’t have thought about. At most I would have brushed away drill shavings, now I’ll be up there with the mag broom.
I stripped it, repaired and prepped it myself so I don’t want any issues with the metal roofing, the material is too expensive for mistakes. 😂
This is one of those comments that UA-cam was best for!
Well done!!
A dedicated video on the chain squaring process would be amazing!
Loving it..Cheers guys..UK
great job, working safety
If you and Jamie from the Perkins Brothers were on a video together it would probably be 2 hours with an hour and a half of it just explaining things, and Id watch every second of it, that being said, when is the colab??
Thanks for sharing brother :)
I use to build bird barns and we’d do a 660 foot building in 2 days back when I was a younger man 😂
Omg!! The building is swaying!!! 🤣🤣
enjoyed. keep teaching us tips please
Great vid,cladder in england 25yrs👍👍
I like the skill so much
I'd like to see more about your use of the chains to lock the buulding in place. Thanks
good job
Great work as always lads I'm a British/Irish carpenter and I would ask have you ever thought about when screwing ilthe roof off having the lads face the facia and not the ridge as you won't be able to walk off as not walking to the bottom of the roof even with fall protection just an idea you probably have thought of it but if not have a look and see of it could work for you, we never walk down a roof without a scaffolding and even then not advised as can step off without thinking. Great watching what you do on post frames thanks for the content love all the videos
Hi Kyle. I am fascinated by your post frame buildings. Bit I don't need a big building. Is there a minimum size that is appropriate or worth doing post frame. Thanks so much you guys do awesome work.
Fantastic job guys, love to see you teaching Cole all the little tricks! That steel looks exactly like the color I'm installing on my building, burnished slate?
Why dont you use a roofing underlay? What do you do about the condensation that forms on the underside of roof?
Great fit and finish. Why do not use the rolls of appx. 1/2" wide caulk like adhesive to seal edges of each roof panel seam, in S. Fla it prevents wind driven rain intrusion and panel edge lift up and makes roof and walls much stiffer? Ray Stormont
Thanks for your great informative education on tin roofs.
A question... How do you seal hip valleys and ridges from insects. Do they make the closing strips for different angles?
I'm happy to see you all screwing in the flats. Some guys around here are still determined to screw through the ridges.
For educational purposes, why do you place the screws in the flats? I was always taught to screw through the ridges to limit risk of leaks. Thanks.
@@dirkjackson8939 I was too. All the water runs down the flats from the ridges.
Kyle, thank you for sharing your tricks and tricks. It's very very valuable.
Tell me, are there any books or website where I can get more information on post frame technology?
What sources have you used?
Are there any sites that have plans for small to medium sized buildings using this technology?
Thanks.
If temperature in your area drops to 0 Celsius or below, there will be constant condensation on the metal. In this case, common solution is to use special material to protect frames and roof insulation from water.
Good work, regards from Ukraine!
In my prime we'd Truss and roof in 1 day. Depending on weather and man power. 72x160 the biggest I've done in 1 day. 6 chains, straitened with wedge boards. No worry, no weather/wind effecting progress.
Great tip marking layout, we were 3 inches long on a 32' roof lol
Kyle- what you needed was an over-the-shoulder boulder holder 😅
I’m learning much more on your videos than elsewhere. I’m an old lady who like to build my barn house in countryside of portugal. Wel! Still looking forward how you build the mezzanine 😊. Like to know what size of wood I much use.?. Stud wall for mezzanine. Thank you.
I was always curious how you made sure it lined up on the last panel and was dreading the full length trim to size. I guess it makes sense to just overlap the panel to fit.
Curious how much recording for content slows you guys down? I know for myself on car stuff a 1 hour mechanic job while recording content takes between 2-3 hours. Great content and we def appreciate the extra time it takes to put this content out! I for one know how much it takes to keep the people happy. 🙌
6:54. Hey, Kyle. You want some cheese to go with that whine? Wait till you pass 60. LOL.
#3 questions
1.Where do you buy your tin?
2. Do you consider prevailing wind direction when overlapping your tin?
3. Do you install screws on the flats only or ribs only? For example roof on the ribs, walls on the flats? Pros and cons to either?
Awesome Job you said that you read the comments, but what I want to know is how do you lay out your roof purlins from the peak down or the facia end up? I am guessing you need to leave the top purlin down, so you have something to screw the cap steel into???
(Car honks) Hey! It's that guy! 😂
I enjoy your videos information and examples, i am learning a lot as we are looking at some property and ideas for building. a couple of questions please:
1.) It looks like you have no plywood/other underneath the metal roof...? how is it insulated, and sound proofed during a heavy rain? 2.) At the gable ends and bottom of the metal sheets with the ridges... how do you seal the gaps for air gaps, weather and insulation?
regards,
mike
Love your videos! I desperately want you to build my home in South Carolina! I need you to relocate! :)
Do the video! Roof prep!
Good bro
Make an appointment to see the Dr. about your shoulder, just in case there is something that he can fix now.
If you wait 2 years from now & the Dr. tells you "If you had come to me 2 years ago I COULD have helped you but now I can't repair the shoulder" SORRY 😖
That really happened to a friend of mine!
Now I hope you got at least one of those boys with the sky hook 😂
Great video. I have a metal roof on my post frame and the roof leaks from the screws. The roof has 1” screws now so I was thinking of replacing all the screws with 1.5” screws. I noticed you didn’t mention the clutch setting on the screw gun. How tight do you like to go?
why wouldnt you put decking on yhe roof before the steel roof? Will the prefab roof not support the weight?
Great vid! What gun are you using to install the drip edge?
I like the way you do your roofing, but it is a barn. I worked with several contractors , but it was all in residential. Even with a metal roof, we still included plywood decking, felt sealing. Beautiful job. Are those panels custom length cuts???
Thanks!
Wow thank you
@@RRBuildings you’re welcome! Been a fan of you’re channel for awhile. Great to see tradesmen doing work with a sense of pride and accuracy. It’s helpful for those who might need a tip on how to accomplish it. Have a great day!
I have never seen you explain the roof detail of your staggered Perlins. You stand them up on end and hammer in a spike. Do you predrill? Seems like they would split? Also the roof screws would not be in a straight line since you don't but joint them. Can you explain that portion during a video?
What fall harnesses do and retractable reels do you use? We do all steel weld up structures and need something, Thanks
What tool belt you using there, looks super comfy I use the buckaroo but too bulky I want to make the switch from leather to canvas
Hey Kyle, what are the specs on those trusses? Down here in Oklahoma they don’t seem to be able to construct a single ply truss to span 48’ - 8ft oc. And where do you get them from, because I see you do this all the time and where I am (OKC, Oklahoma area) they want to use double ply or even triple ply 😮 or reduce the spacing to 4’ or even 2’ oc
20:50 I wanna see you build a mile-long roof.
@7:36 I agree, wood is good. 🤣
I wouldnt mind seeing a close up or quick explanation of how the x bracing is installed and attached. Thanks
Should there be a water shield under the roof steel? Thanks for your quality.
Hey if you read this I would love for you to come Trinidad and see how it's really done
2 Questions. The screws in the top of the ribs, for the 2x4 rafter eaves extension ? Last sheet on the roof, you overlap as to not have to rip a full sheet ?
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while. Sometimes you sheath your roofs and sometimes your don’t. Is there a reason to have to sheath the roof?
Also, if using mineral wool insulation do you have to sheath the exterior walls?
Could you give information regarding roof system used. I am interested in using this on a canopy at my home.
Roofs down under Australia we rin fix roof sheeting and pan fix walls . But like your way a lot quicker
Your son eats screws for lunch 😊
I can not find much about rolling out insulation and then installing metal sheets. I see the finished product all the time, but nothing about how to do it. I’m building a post frame right now and have 6” insulation. The sheet metal is wavy and crinkling. Do you have any ideas or possibly show this in a video please? Thank you!
How do you do the ridge cap? We have trouble with rain blowing under the cap , corroding the metal and dripping into the building after a few years ?
Just for my knowledge, Is there supposed to be a connector or something that goes over the middle of the roof to prevent leakage?
It's a shame I no longer work in the steel mill as we had light weight gloves similar to yours but they were 200 x cut resistant and I could have sent you some as they had soft rubber bumps instead of full dip and grip the sheet steel better. Unfortunately I don't even remember the name of the manufacture since I retire over 10 years ago.
I'm curious about something. I've watched quite a few of your videos, and find the idea of your way of construction very interesting. My only issue is that I do not like the idea of wood being used in the structure of my home. Have you built any of these projects using light weight steel, or aluminum? Or any other composite material not having wood in it?
I wish I can reach your level of professional/good construction worker
YES
Do you need that double-stick butle tape I see in some video installations?
When you put the metal ridge cap on, how do you keep the edge of the roof cap from scratching the roof panels as you screw it down?
