initially i wasn’t going to say anything about ridge vs flat screwing. but
when you blamed the manufacturing process for your ridge misalignment i had
to put in my 2 cents…The reason manufacturers want you to screw in the
flats and use stitching screws for the ridges is exactly to avoid
stretching the sheet metal profile and causing a misalignment of metal
closure strips, fitted ridge caps (such as yours) or other profile
sensitive accessories… on that note, i love your vids

Good to see you fastened at the rib instead of the field. Good point on the
water getting through. The gentleman’s comment on the manufacturer is
correct but in the end they’re just trying to compensate for the fact that
many metal workers often over tighten when fastening. Good rule of thumb is
to drive the fastener to slightly compress so that the material can still
move. Often this is not done instead they are driven so tight that
distortion to the material is caused and the neoprene washer is damaged.

DUDE! Sandals and a grinder, REALLY?

Would it be possible to use sheets of glass fiber to cover the roof and
sides, and then soak all the walls in epoxy, for a perfect fit? Or would
the contraction of the epoxy make the shed implode?

If you use a punch, and tap it with a hammer to start your holes, the
screws will grab a lot quicker…that, or use real self tappers.

Nice shed! You may want to consider an opening or door on the gable end.
This makes loading and unloading long stock easier. 

Tim Davies · September 24, 2014 at 10:26 AM

How did you make the ridge cap?

bno112300 · September 24, 2014 at 10:48 AM

I’m kind of worried about those angle-ground front panels. if the sheets
aren’t touched up with oxide paint you might get rust along the cuts.

You are referring to the screens? Difference is, this stuff and the tin
ships I already had! And the squirrels may not that much of an issue – with
the metal siding, there’s no place for them to hang on.

looking good!!

Pilot16H · September 24, 2014 at 11:48 AM

So what happened to the next video. Also, seems like you need a slightly
heavier hammer or a framing gun. I enjoy the videos. Other than that, I
can’t help but wonder why you didn’t assemble and then roof rather than
roof and then assemble. Seems like it creates more work and effort on the
tail end. I expect the assembly video might shed some light on that. Keep
up the good work.

prove it

The metal roof on my garage had plenty of loose screws (at least half) on
the ridges when I bought the house. The garage was about 12 years old. Even
aside from the loosening, the ridge shape and size is such that very little
of the sealing washer is in contact with the roof. I don’t know which way
is better, but if I was doing my own installation I would seal each screw
with polyurethane caulking in either case.

Thank a god for the safety police, what would we do without them.

Matthias Wandel · September 24, 2014 at 12:51 PM

Hadn’t thought of the heat issue. Though haven’t had problems with where
it’s been cut on 25 year old roofs.

monk8235 · September 24, 2014 at 1:07 PM

Ha! Just thought that too… but I can’t judge as I have welded with flip
flops before – not for too long mind you!

Nemodog · September 24, 2014 at 2:06 PM

So enjoyable to watch someone who is as talented as you are at work. There
is an ease and economy of motion that is a thing of beauty. Thank you. I
always learn something when I watch your videos.

ctw203 · September 24, 2014 at 2:50 PM

The point you sort of bring up is the pitch. If you have the screws on the
ridges, it would cause issues when you go to shovel off a roof that doesn’t
have enough pitch for the snow/ ice build up to slide right off. The screws
would cause the shovel/ snow rake to catch on the screws possibly causing
the screws to rip out after constant abuse every winter. Also, a side note,
the fact that matthias doesn’t care for his own safety after being told
plenty of times means, he just doesn’t care.

Malcolm Daly · September 24, 2014 at 3:37 PM

hi mattthias, ive always screwed metal profile sheets in the hollows
because when you screw on the ridge you distort the profiles shape, thats
why your ridging doesnt line up! the sheets are wider because you pressed
the profile flat. still love the videos 🙂

In general, product manufacturers recommendations are not designed to be
the best way to install stuff. They are the fastest way to install it in a
professional setting, perhaps with comparatively unskilled labour. A
careful person willing to put in a little more time can achieve lots better
performance often. Plus – it’s not their shed that leaks, and they can
blame leaks on installation, or screw failures.

Lars Erickson · September 24, 2014 at 3:55 PM

Now THAT will make for a viral video!

stubryanfull · September 24, 2014 at 4:31 PM

i was going to say, it reminds me of classical nz working. i sometimes weld
without shoes

Sticklebrick · September 24, 2014 at 5:04 PM

i love how you’re using an angle grinder with sandals

Matthias Wandel · September 24, 2014 at 5:14 PM

I never said wood was perfect. For roofs, metal rules.

After next week’s barn or shed raising video it will be a treat to read the
comments from the Self Appointed You Tube Safety Committee and from the
Building Code Experts. At least one guy on the crew will be on camera
without glasses for a few seconds. That will be good for 10 or so Safety
Committee comments. Oh then I’m sure there will be comments about improper:
gloves, ear plugs, hard hats, face shields, shirt tails. The footings will
be too shallow, too narrow on & on & on.
