Installing Steel Siding on a Pole Barn, Trimming Windows, and Cutting Tools - Nibblers or Shears?

- Have you wondered how to install steel siding on a pole barn?
In this video I show how easy it can be. The sheets cover 3 foot so it goes up pretty fast. I ordered my siding pre-cut to the lengths I needed so both the top and bottom edge had nice clean factory edges. Cutting the siding around window and door openings will be necessary though and for that I used a couple different tools. Hand shears from Wiss worked the best for cutting across the ribs. For ripping length-wise, I found that mechanical shears worked best. I used pneumatic shears because the cost savings over electric shears was significant. I also used an pneumatic nibbler when I only needed to go part way across a sheet. These allowed me to create and opening big enough to get the shears in to finish the opening.
This video also shows how I trimmed around my windows with a metal drip edge on top and then using J-channel around all the sides. I miter the corners for a nice picture-framed look.

Hi from France. Just getting ready to repair storm damage to our 70 year old shed. Thank you for speaking soft and slow without music back drop. One of the best videos we watched!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing all the great tips, and info. You did it staying on track of just not wasting anytime over explaining, and keeping up productive pace so we'll I didn't have to fast forward, or back it up to hear anything twice either.
Love the color and great job showing and telling, wish me luck on building my first pole barn. Watching people like you sure helps, thanks for the great video have a one see ya bye.
Great job. Love the color. Taking time to point out the side difference of the metal was a great point. Appreciated the explanation of the miter cut. Your delivery and video were excellent! Keep up the good work.
Good job , been contracting in exteriors for 25 + years, I don't care if someone said you messed up , you did a great job in explanation and install.
You don't care if someone says he messed up because you're on the way out you don't have tonfix the fuxk up. That's cheap siding that has faster showing in a climate region it'll leak in 5 years time. That's not good work it's crap work. Even my autistic brother know faster showing is bad
The explanation of the two different sides of the metal sheeting…boom! Thank you. I’d have never known. Great work sir.
you've got to be the fastest siding installer I've ever seen
Really enjoying your videos -- we're about 4.5 years out from establishing our homestead, but a pole barn is on my short list so we can store our stuff while building our house. Just subscribed!
Wow! That's some barn! I was raised on a farm with horses and cattle in the English countryside. Our barns were tiny. Nice sheet work. You Americans have great products! 😁🤠 🇬🇧
I LOVE THE COLOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WILL DO IT NEXT YEAR ON MY CARPORT.
Thankyou! I am a contractor not use to working with metal sheeting, this video answered all my questions and gave me many valuable pointers.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Good job. Every detail you discussed was pertinent to someone doing the work. We didn't like the look of the flanges due to the J-channels and similar trim around the windows, so we went with the Haslet frame kits which were easy to install.
Love the color. That was my grandpa's color of choice for his farm, and I've inherited some leftover steel from him, so it seems it will be mine as well!
Thanks great to see how different folks do this.
Love that shade of green!
I am a rookie and will be attempting this with lots of angle cuts.......this helps. Love the color.
You did good. I've installed a lot of that menards steel. I don't miss it one bit!
Menards steel is junk steel coil made and painted in China colors don't last 29 gage after paint
Very helpful, thanks. You're a good teacher 👍🏻
Very Neat! Good Job. Love it. And the colour is very nice!
Great information thank you
Great color for the siding! Appreciate that you appear to think things out as you move along; appears to be a quality job, buddy!
Great video save me some time this weekend on my window install
Good job, I can see that you know what you're doing
I love that colour. Great job! It’s going help me install this stuff
Nice build and I like the color.
Outstanding video. Brief and to the point.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge/experience.
good job im thinking of residing my trailer with steel sheathing. Not that expensive either and looks way better then lots other siding options out there.
Love the colour.
Thanks for posting . . . enjoyed watching.

Thanks Randy!
I like the color. It is like an olive green. Nice.
I use rat guard trim on the bottom and j on top slide right in
I saw a house nearby me that someone did the exterior in metal, actually looks real good, kind of surprised.
Nice color helpful video thanks
I think the color looks beautiful
Thanks Derek.

New subscriber here, I want to this on my extension soon... thanks for sharing this video 😍
Nice color choice
Exactly the same color I am using on my barn. It will match my house.
great job, thanks
Great video well done! Thanks!
Nice
great video, though I'd love to see how you installed the metal and j-channel around the doorway. The color is awesome, it's like an olive drab which is my favorite color.
Really like the color.
Thanks Matt!
Great video
Doing a great job,very good explanation of your processes, i get a kick out of all the Karen's telling you you messes up !
Looks awesome! Love the color. I'm starting my building tomorrow. 😁
Thanks Kevin. Good luck with your project.
Nice job.Love the color
Thank you
nice video. love the color!
Oh and by the way you do really good work. I enjoyed your video and love the color of the barn
Thanks so much for the comment. Glad you liked the video and the color. 😃
Like the color and the install it does look nice.
Thank you
Excellent video. The detail was very useful... thanks.
Thanks for watching
very nice video and explanations. I have an old Hay Barn that the current cheap wood siding is falling off. I would like to strip it off and re-side with metal. Im thinking of converting the hay barn into a larger structure for both hay storage and goat shelter. This is all new to me but I hope I can do this.
Had same old barn. Was an embarrassment. With no experience did it all. Looks like brand new pole building. Reversed the blade on skilsaw to cut metal. Cheap, quick and easy
good video, nice color !
Really nice! I like the way you explain all the details! I like the color too, wondering how would it look in black or dark gray.
Looks good and you did a great job.
Thanks Carlos!
Great video, thank you! Can you recommend cutting shears & nibbler for me to purchase? I just bought a cabin where I will be needing to make some cuts on siding similar to what I see in this video - thanks. Air tool style would be fine...
Barns are supposed to be red LOL awesome video thank you
Thanks!
Great information!
Man, looks so good! I really love the colour!
Thanks Pete!
Wow! So easy and it looks great too👍
Thanks so much.
After just having a $27k estimate given to replace vinyl siding in 2022; I’m seriously wondering how much cheaper it would be to go with metal siding instead. My only real concern? Those darn rubber gaskets around the fasteners. They last 5 years tops in the elements. Unless you’re using some kind of silicone gasket on each fastener.
Great point about those rubber gaskets, I have a metal roof with those and definitely had to put silicone on the ones above my windows to stop water leaking.
Two things, you messed up your layout around that window, you should never have a rib right on the edge of a window like that and your upper piece of house wrap you should have left loose and then installed it over the top of your window nailer flange. Helps keep water from running in behind your window.
Am I nuts or shouldn’t the base flange of the window not be taped to allow the drainage plane to allow water out?
Great tips, I'm putting one up at this time also by myself. Nice work you are doing, nice clean job.
Thank you.
We like the color. What color is it?
What color is that????
my favourite colour
I like the color. U are putting it so well am sure it’s kinda therapeutic to u if it was to me just by watching. Can I put this on a house after OSBs? Seems like metal siding could provide 100% moisture free house.
Yes a lot of times when I'm working alone it is therapeutic and takes your mind off other things. I don't recall seeing this type of siding used on a house before, but I don't see why not. You definitely could put it over OSB. That would be similar to how I did my roof. A standing seam metal siding would be even better moisture protection. Thanks for the comment.
I have a metal house yes OSB is a great substrate be careful not to over tork screws
Turbo shears are the correct tool. Or single cut shears.
Grest video thanks
What do you do if the window is small and it's in the middle of a piece of metal I can't get the trim in around it
Ok, what do you do if your 24 inch window falls right in the middle of the panel on a remodel?
Purlins are on the roof girts are on the walls pretty sure
Well done!
Thank you!
Any problem with water leaking at either end of the drip edge? I guess if there was any it would be minor/acceptable for a shop/shed/barn, but on a house? Could be a problem with sheetrock. It would be nice if the drip edge had dams at each end but thats a job for a metal shop.
Thanks for the comment Kevin. I have had no issues at all with water infiltration. That piece of drip edge above the window is more for extra protection than the primary protection. Most of the time that drip edge trim isn't used just the J-channel. The ends of the J-channel are bent over into the side pieces so the water flows away down each side. I am actually a little concerned about the bottom corners because it seems that some water from above could seep through there. That's why I used the synthetic roof felt around the window and taped everything with the window sealer tape.
You pot the drip sill on first before the sheets
I like that color green the other colors of green is to dark for me. That green you used on your shop looks kinda like it’s faded. Some which that how I want my house color to be
So on an inside corner would I start with that small flat edge against the corner and have the overlap out?
I like the color! Did you screw your metal walls to the concrete form?
No, there's a 2x6 pressure treated toe board all around the base.
How's she goin'? The barn is looking great!!! I like the color. Sort of pastel and not too dominant in the yard. Neat idea for punching the holes with the nail set. We put roofing on and drilled the holes and went through about 40 drill bits!!! The mitered corners rock!!! Is it easy for you to source steel siding and roofing in your area? Nice job pal. Looking good. Take care!!!
Thanks Mike. The color is Sage. I had to talk my wife into it. As you can see from the house, she doesn't like to veer far from the beige family. 😄 I really like it though plus there will be a darker color up above in the gable ends to really set it off. We have a Menard's in town that sells steel siding/roofing like mine. My roofing though, I got from an Amish gentleman that bends it all by hand with a huge brake in his barn. I went with him because he had the matte finish I was looking for to match the shingles on the house better. I don't care for a shiny roof. Thanks for watching.
Great job! Like the color.
Around this area we have lots of snow rain and general damp weather.
Try to elevate the lower sill plate of these with some concrete berm or perimeter to keep the
treated lumber up from ground level. That way the precip all drains down and away.
Thanks, yeah that's a good point. The front and back will both have concrete slabs draining away. The south side has a planter box that drops down a bit and the north side has stonecrete that slopes away. I had to build the area up around the barn so it all slopes away really well. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
How do you trim around corners and roll up doors?
around 5:34 😗am I the only one enjoy that sound? btw great video.
Lol... I noticed it sounds like a Benny Hill skit...... nice work.... great video...
Great video! Have you done the video where you trim the garage doors yet?
