Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Gotta love the sound of rain on a steel roof. How do they react with the sun? Does it heat the garage because its black or is it the opposite effect and reflects heat?
The only downside of leaving the shingles on is if you ever have a leak you will have a hell of a time locating the leak.
Another thing I have to add is, you really need to locate and make sure your nails are hitting the rafters when nailing the 1×4's on. If not you are just nailing into old plywood in many cases.
Is there anything you can’t build?
Love me a good tin roof.
If you dont get 50 years out of it, you didnt pay enough for your galv 😉
The reason why your roofs don't last is because you use inferior materials in America ,since your houses are too big and you try and save money building them so you cut corners on roofing. The rest of the world doesn't have this problem since we don't try and compensate. Just use tiles like the rest of the world. They last forever and look good also and are great for hot climates.
You can have a roof that will last a 100 years but not at the price range people will pay.
Hello Rich, I have to say that each steel manufacturer has his own recommendation as to where to put the screws be it peak or valley. Most of what I have used is on the flat with stitching screws (smaller shorter ones) used on the seam overlap and the peak cap. The other thing you might be missing is the panels are designed with the contours to be able to take the expansion and contraction. To overdrill your pilot holes is counterproductive because if drilled to be just a bit undersized when the screw is driven the steel will 'volcano' just a bit. Now when the neoprene washer comes down it makes an even better seal on the projection and water will most often run past very easily rather than climbing over. Take a look on some old steel at the screw holes and you can see this. I have not seen and have no knowledge of a properly screwed roof (as you say don't squish the seal) leaking. My own has been up for thirty years in our coastal high winds (at least once per year over 100mph) , wet snow and 160+ inches of rain per year without any failures. I am totally with you about walking on steel. I won't do it if it is even dew damp! And a harness is a must for even the most dare devil of installers. Take care. Doug
