How To Build A Shed - Part 4 Installing Sheet Metal Roof

I forgot the gussets for the rafters to give them more strength. You can see them in the wrap up video though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWKgSeiM2mg&index=6&list=PLh0KqGKtX4oU9z9ok2mtVO6cacPD_Mbw4

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.

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.

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.

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.

They hold up really well,I'm in the Canadian Prairies and these are used with all metal sheeting.

This series is so clear. Everything is explained and the logical reasons are given. Well done!

finally someone smart enough to mute power tools! That extra step makes it so much more enjoyable.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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

Excellent instructional - replacing a small shed roof with metal. Great details for measurement and how to reliably place screws.

Shannon, great videos in regards to building a shed as well as pro-tips, much appreciated!

Man, thank you !!!! Hands down the best video on gable trim on the internet. Very easy to follow great job

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.

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.

Sheet metal roofs are intimidating. This video was a big help. Thank you Shannon.
