Shannon from www.house-improvements.com/shed shows you from start to finish how to install a sheet metal roof on the DIY shed project. - Навчання та стиль
I forgot the gussets for the rafters to give them more strength. You can see them in the wrap up video though. ua-cam.com/video/DWKgSeiM2mg/v-deo.html
Just a hint I heard, better to cut with tin snips as the heat and grinding will damage the edge of the metal and the paint especially if it is pre-coloured metal sheeting.
Hi Shannon, great video. I want to use metal roofing for my shed, but I don’t know where to buy the sheets. I assume you are in Canada as you are using Home Hardware house wrap. Can you or someone on here let me know where (Toronto area) I can buy these sheets? Home Depot, Lowes, Rona etc. doesn’t sell them. Thanks in advance.
Q.
@@shanejeffery9687 You've probably got your answer long ago. Just in case you didn't, here in Halifax I called Rona who referred me to Scotia Metals that you can buy direct from or buy through Rona slightly cheaper. Surprising your Rona didn't have a similar arrangement. You can likely find a local manufacturer by googling,

Some people leave their mark in history books. Others like yourself leave their mark by teaching others valuable trades and skills that can be passed on again, by simply taking the time to provide instructions. Very noble is a teacher's life. Thanks for aiming me in the right direction on steel roofing.
Seriously one of the best-explained videos I have ever seen. Clear explanations on the how and why, while adding in some good workmanship in at the same time.
Great video I'm a 65 year old woman and trying to learn at my age is difficult...ha..ha..ha. This is wonderful and now I understand and will send this to my son so he can learn too!
are you still alive?
finally someone smart enough to mute power tools! That extra step makes it so much more enjoyable.
yeah because turning down your volume was so hard to do...
Turning your volume up and down is a major pain and very irritating. Learn from this, don't make the mistake that so many people do when making videos.
Battery power tools have very limited noise
@@cbrr7615 wow how intelligent, fuck off kid
Needed lame elevator music overlay 🤣🤣🤣
I actually love the power tool noise was muted, often I watch these kinds of videos while washing dishes etc, so an extra hand is null in void.
I have seen a lot of different "how-to" videos on a variety of subjects, but if I want to see how it is REALLY done and step by step, I always end up back here. This was the most comprehensive video on all the steps of installing a metal roof. And it was done in a smaller venue so you can see the steps without having to zoom clear out for a huge house and lose some of the details. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent instructional video without needless music or comments.
thanks
Sheet metal roofs are intimidating. This video was a big help. Thank you Shannon.
This series is so clear. Everything is explained and the logical reasons are given. Well done!
They hold up really well,I'm in the Canadian Prairies and these are used with all metal sheeting.
Me too!

How about you?
Putting a metal roof on an extra-beefy shed with lean-to roof with a super-low 2° pitch (8'x14'6") ⁷/16 OSB roof sheeting on 16" centred rafters finished covering of Tyvek. It's transportable. Thinking of just screwing in the peaks. Thoughts?
Thanks Shannon I now have a metal roof on my 14 by 24 shed because of this video. One thing I would suggest is that you pre-drill the holes, trying to reach over 3 feet while balancing on a joist was difficult. Also you can buy a metal cutting disc for any circ saw at the hardware store and cut the sheets upside down.
Thanks for this info. I was trying to decide between the circ saw and grinder. I bought the disk for the circ saw but was worried it might tear it out.
Thank you very much for the video. I feel extremely prepared for the task with additional help for Friday and Saturday this weekend. I have done roofing in the past for a different shed but did shingles for that but that has disintegrated though. The shed in my back yard has been the for 15 years and it was a prop at Home Depot for sale at that time. I want to replace the roof with very good quality and that is why I am doing this. Your instructions will greatly help and I really look forward to the end result. I already have existing pictures of the old and the large hole in it also. Lol. Thank you again and I hope many others enjoy your video also.
I have told neighbors about the new roof coming and others are interested in metal roofing also.
There is a link to my website right in the description of this video, please click that and go to the website where you will find an article for this build under the "misc." tab. There you will find that info. thanks.
I think you do a great job explaining step by step.. I wanted to put a metal roof on my next shed and will definitely do it just like you just did. keep up the good work.
Excellent instructional - replacing a small shed roof with metal. Great details for measurement and how to reliably place screws.
thanks
Thanks for the feedback. FYI it is available in 1080p, you just need to change the setting while watching the video (bottom right area of the video, look for the "gear" icon). If you think this zoom is bad you should see some of our older videos where we had no zoom at all.
I like the way you explain everything, I am not a carpenter and not good with building things! So for me your videos are excellent! Thank you and keep doing what you do!
GOOD JOB, YOU SO CALM EXPLAINING EVERYTHING
Shannon, all of your videos are the best. Any project I've done based on your instruction turns out exponentialy better then if would of had I just done it myself. I appreciate it!
glad to help
Shannon, great videos in regards to building a shed as well as pro-tips, much appreciated!
"I'm sure some ppl gonna come on and say "that's not how I do it," but that's how I do it."
I'm gonna do it like you do it. Your way seems simplest and easiest - I'm building a tiny home for myself and your videos have helped me through my entire journey. Your vids are really thorough and well made.
I've never built a structure of any kind before but thanks to you I have a home almost finished.
Thanks a lot mate, truly.
Thanks Shannon! Tomorrow .... the roof panels and once again I'll be able to show my (old) aircraft mechanic husband that I am STILL the can-do gal he married 31 years ago! I forbid (Yes, I did!) him to get back on the roof,so his instruction and your video will exact the results needed! The tables have turned and now HE is the helper! Anything to save his old knees and back is a bonus! Again, a humble "Thanks" coming your way. J.(PS---We don't build wimpy stuff on our farm either! Better too much, than having to file an insurance claim for wind damage here in TN, USA)
Regarding the roof panel installation, may I suggest that you install the sharp, burred, edge that you cut with the grinder, toward the roof ridge instead of along the bottom eave which would lessen the chances of someone getting a really nasty laceration.
Thanks for the video!
Common sense no brainer BUT.... Guessing you've never had to roof/side with metal panels for if you had, you'd realize just how ridiculously expensive they are and that putting all trimmed edges as peak is not always a guarantee. A good/seasoned fabricator can make cuts just as good as straight cut OEM panels. It's you noobs/weekenders that give the rest of us a bad rap.
@@cbrr7615 Actually that's what I am doing now and my cut edges will be at the peak hidden by flashing. It's called "preplanning". Newbee or not, it is common sense like you said. It just takes some thought on how you cut your panels and your orientation (prevailing wind). I know how expensive the panels are, it's all planned out! Thanks for your comment.
Metal roofing is very permanent and great in ice dam areas like Vermont and New Hampshire. Shannon does another good job installing this metal roof on the shed.
Shannon, great series. I built my last shed with the plans "in my head." It keeps the elements out but looks like a 5th grade shop class homework assignment.. I plan on redoing it (bigger) this summer. This series will be invaluable. Thanks! -Kelly
+redboy33 Thanks, we've had tons of positive feedback on the shed series, glad to help!
Building a shed is now college level. Get with the current year old man.
Very much appreciate your videos - good audio and very relaxing to watch. I learned several things for my next project even though I have done a bit if building. You are a good instructor - telling why you are doing something, not just how to do it.
Yes!
Thank you! It's very helpful that you explain the reasoning behind the techniques.
All those youtube weekend warrior guides with no eaves!!!! oSB T1-11 out there just taking every bit of rain. Nooooo. This dude is a real craftsman

Watching your video gives me the confidence to build my own carport roof. Thank you.
Your videos are great. I have improved my house in immeasurable ways because of your videos. Thanks for editing out the saws and tools; audio.
You are welcome
I have worked with all types of sheet metal roofing And it is standard procedure to anchor sheet metal on the flat surface. The only place to anchor the ridge cap is on the raised part of the sheet metal .he also should have put ribbon caulk under the overlap joints to prevent water from migrating up under the overlap. Rain has a tendency to be forced up under the joint during a heavy rain storm.
Thanks! Building my own. You answer my question: spacing between purlins is about 30 in.
Man, thank you !!!! Hands down the best video on gable trim on the internet. Very easy to follow great job
Your a great teacher Sir … you’d make a fine college or construction school teacher … your patience in your explanations of things are top notch … thanks for your dedication…
This is a none venting ridge vent but other styles do vent. If you leave the foam closure out rain, snow and critters will get in. Actually a wall vent would have been nice, never thought of it at the time. I guess this way the mother in law will not stay as long! LOL thanks Maxid1 you always have good questions.
Here in South Florida, I'm definitly going to need vents, & I screen them inside in 2 layers, 1/4 " welded wire- (Dad called it hardware cloth), & regular window screen. Keeps out critters large & small!
These videos (along with a couple others) really helped me in building my kids' 8X8 elevated playhouse! Thanks!!
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
For a playhouse, you do not want to have a metal roof.
@@HsingSun what would be your reasoning for not wanting a metal roof on a playhouse?
That was a very useful and down-to-earth tutorial ... I am grateful to you, as I was a little nervous about installing my first galvanised porch roof before I watched your well-presented practical instruction.
Just Thanks (from England) ...
Great information. Thanks for sharing!
That is a valid point, I think the main reason may be that if it was on the high rib you would bend the sheet out of shape because every rib would flex a bit as you snugged up. Could be other reasons but I'm not sure what they would be.
NOT putting the screw on the high rib can cause leaks. Not a problem now, but wait a few years.
You did a more professional job on the roof of your shed than my roofer did on my house!!
Thanks Shannon! Did my low slope log cabin today with your help.
Thank you for making these videos. You are helping a lot of people.
This was really awesome and so informative.
The zippy blades I was using are really thin and create very little heat. Probably good practice though to put the cuts under the ridge cap, you are right.
I'm about to undergo building a large shed out back and your videos are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks tons for posting them.
This was great- I appreciate you showing ALL the steps in detail.
If it was up to me, I would place the cut side upwards to be covered by the ridge
Yes, factory-cut edges are usually best at the visible end.
great job! thanks for explaining as you go. all made sense when topper went on.
learnt a lot here thanks for posting excellent "how to". Good style of presenting too, no nonsense, just getting the job done.
put the guard back on the grinder. you are teaching to more than you realize. great video.
@Hello how are you doing
@Hello How are you doing dear
How's it going?
am at this part now, wow, i like the fact is one video at a time, step by step, my shed is looking amazing, i did everything to this part all in 5 days, fun to build if you love what your doing and patients, and couple espresso :P
Have fun and good luck.
Here is a play list for all of the videos in this shed build series. ua-cam.com/play/PLh0KqGKtX4oU9z9ok2mtVO6cacPD_Mbw4.html
Found this while planning a roof Im doing tomorrow. Likely saved me a LOT of mistakes. Thanks - subscribed!
Great Job Brother, I love it.
good stuff, thank you ...
WOW, I think the framing on this shed is better than my house!!!
beautiful. thank you for showing and explaining slowly. i am a women trying to learn and the way you show it is great, step by step. thank you so much
Nice little detail that you removed the annoying metal cutting sound :)
Zampther real good information ,thanks
I agree about blocking out the sound of cutting the metal, but he should have had a guard on the grinder . I am a Union Ironworker and removing the guard off the grinder can be VERY DANGEROUS . (1) the guard helps to prevent hot sparks of metal from hitting you . (2) if that cutting wheel gets pinched it will cause the grinder to jump backwards towards you . That’ll scare the $?@/ out of you, that’s why I have TWO hands on the grinder . (3) if the cutting wheel gets pinched it can also brake apart, sending small pieces of the cutting wheel out

Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
@@sophiashcherbakova2867 go fuck yourself with your spam
you make me feel like I could do this. Thank you Shannon. You are like a nomall guy, doing it yourself. You've got skills
+bobby redondo Thanks buddy
Very nice, thanks for your help, and your right working by yourself if rough...thanks Joe.
Thank you very helpful. Bought kit at local hardware store. Plans leave a lot to be desired
The paint on your sheets must be different to the ones we use in Australia. if you use a grinder on a metal sheet it will melt the paint, and be starting point for corrosion. I wish we could use grinders as that would make it SO much easier.
ssj2gohan48 I was told never to use a grinder because it opens up the metal and causes corrosion. Use a nibbler or snips to cut the metal. Also use bead tape on the overlap of panels.
man thanks a million.. i know you just saved me a ton of cash...
Guys I found a very good website about woodworking that is *WoodBlueprints. Com* this website contains more then 12000 woodworking shed plans. Recommended
This is such a relaxing video. Thank you
Thanks to you, my shed still up... didn't know anything about framing or building a shed.. and everyone loves my shed.. in fact a few people asked if I could built one for them.
errors:
1) eave drip edge detail (no return for rake trim)
2) factory cut edge and a crooked field cut edge at exposed side
3) center panel install over area to keep consistent reveal
4) no butyl between rake trim and panel (water will flow under trim and eventually leak in through fastener
Hi Shannon,
Great video! I noticed that when you're cutting your sheets of metal you expressed concerns about sparks and flammable materials around the work area when cutting with an angle grinder. In your illustrations you had the mountains(Highridges of the sheet metal) facing upward.
Here's a tip that has worked for me in the past and may help your viewers. Everyone has their own methods but what I do is to flip the sheet metal where the mountains are facing downward and then use a skill saw with a finish wood blade(fine tooth) inserted in the skill saw where the teeth are pointing backwards. So another words you put the blade in the reverse direction so the blade will not bite into the metal. This cuts the sheet metal pretty slick and there are no sparks. However, this method will create fine metal sawdust for a lack of a better word so make sure that safety glasses are worn by the person doing the cutting.
MMG Cutting Mat - Micro Media Group LLC Nice tip thanks!
+MMG Cutting Mat - Micro Media Group LLC I use a skill saw and man is it deafening. Hearing protection is a must. Angle grinder looks effective too.
MMG, "Skill Saw" is a brand name they are called "Circular" Saws
CUdetoom okay grandpa
Wow! Thank-you! I really don't like cutting wheels & this is a nice, do-able alternative!
You do make a good point. The tightness and pressure of the screw holding metal against metal and the fact that the slope keeps the water moving makes it virtually little chance any water gets in. I guess once you have the screw in you could back it out and give each spot a little dab of silicone. I have never seen anyone do that but I suppose in a really rainy climate that would be a good idea. Thanks for the comment
Thanks to you Buddy, I just did a 22 square ft building with a metal roof!!!!! Cheers!
I would have put the cut egde up underneath the ridge and leave the factory painted edged at the bottom. You have a raw exposed metal edge now. Don't know if that could be a rust issue in the future. Most panels are galvanized but still.
It's a directional panel so you have to have one factory edge down and one cut edge down. No way around it.
If you are doing two sides then the cuts can be at the ridge with te second part of the panel going over the other side ...
True
I agree, but then I thought this is how I would maybe do a house, and not a little side shed.
Except on a longer building, you'll want to measure and mark the width of a panel from the end you start, then measure from the other end to see if it matches the first marks. If not, adjust the starting panel to be square with the far end. That will help keep you straight.
the landlord who owns the rent houses across the street from me had his handyman put metal roofs on his houses and they look terrible! If i see that handyman I'm going to give him a link to this video.
Very nice collection of shed videos. You guys have done a very good job, you take your time and show all the detail-perfect exmaple of how instructional videos should be done-please keep up the good work.
Thanks for that...I'm about to do a garage roof with metal roofing and as it is my first shot at it I thought I should ask the question!
When I did my roof, I used a bead of silicone under the overlaps.
Unnecessary, only be a mess come time to replace. Painful even...
Great videos Shannon. One question. I noticed that when you started marking out and installing the metal roofing material, you placed the cut-edge facing down. Would you recommend that folks that may not have as steady of a hand with the cutter place the cut-edge up, so that it would be covered by the ridge cap? Keep up the good work!
+Mike Cole Good suggestion ,yes.
also since he doesnt seal them i would guess this is the part where corrosion would start.
Very well done! Too many videos are rendered confusing and useless by people trying to "show off" what they (think) they know. You just show how it's done. Clear and simple. Great camera work. Extremely helpful to a novice like myself.
great audio, camera work, and of course great detail, clear all the way through, thanks
Thanks this was really helpful
great
Good Job...., but.., I would put factory edge down, and cut edge up!!! Then there is no sharp edges=) Won't rust either so easy!
+Eero Laukkanen Was thinking the exact same thing !
yep, sure =)
+Eero Laukkanen you can't unless he was doing both sides, cutting it in half and putting them on 1 side your laps would not match.
Well, he did, didn't he???=)
Eero Laukkanen - you mean you want him to discard every second sheet?
I clicked on the new one in my email and now that one is for 30 min. Thanks Shannon.
Thank you again for responding. Awesome videos excellent
No guard on your grinder. Love the work you do but this safety issue is big mistake. I know from experience ( 35 stitches ). Other than that nice work and really appreciate how detailed you are with your work.
I was going to comment. Worked for a mechanical contractor for years...safety first, always.
Great videos though!
shouldnt the screws go on the top of the ribs rather than where the water travels?
+GM AD Placing the screws up there flexes the ribs and distorts the sheets , the recommended screw location on walls and roofs is where i haves shown.
That would crunch the roof
Only if you screw it in to much.
I get your point but Them screws have a washer rubber seal
ALKUKES which will dry and fall off after several years on a strong sun, rain and cold
Shannon, every video I learn more! Thank you !!!
you're welcome

Metal roofs look good when they're done right, so I must say, I was really irritated that you turned the tins cut edge toward the bottom on the first piece to the right. No wonder you had to warn against sharp edges. SMH
I really enjoy your method of teaching you are very thorough . You don't run through thing . Thank you
Thank you so much, those videos are excellent. !! I wish you live here in Miamo to make my shed 🌹♥️
Not only is he knowledgeable he is also good looking. lol
I am glad that your safety glasses are protecting your forehead and hat.
Perfect video, you can be proud on yourself, you really inspire me to built new shed for wood.thanks a lot.
Go for it!
Hey bro. I’ll be installing a metal
Roof on my garage. I have one cut out to make for a chimney. You have give me a lot of know and answered a lot of questions. Thank you so much for taking time to make this video.

Working on my mine now and needed this video .
Thank you
Great video! I've come back to it many times to make sure of what i'm doing. Thank you.
Nothing like seeing a professional does what he does so well. Great info and great commentary!! Nicely done. Thanks.
Thanks for posting. Just had 56 MPH winds rip off my PVC shed roof. I bought the same panels you used. Watching this first before I install it.
Sux! Vac!!
Do you have a nail gun? This is really cool!
Thanks for the video Shannon, very educational
this video is the most helpful: simple, easy to understand and very well presented. Thanks very much
Thanks so much! About to start my own small shed project, & your video is a lot better than the other 2, (& 3 books), I've checked out. Thanks again, I subscribed & will go back & start from Part 1. 😀
