O.M.G. Part 11: Standing Seam Metal Roof Install Details

all right we're back here on site last time we were here we got this weather logic roof panel installed finished up the porches definitely a very very sturdy sheet good and it made a really nice flat roof i think it's gonna be a great roof system to install our staining seam on so that's what we're gonna do now we just got that delivered yesterday and i'm gonna go ahead and start trimming this out so we can get our dimension cut our panels exactly get our hems on them and then start installing i know we've gone over this whole standing seam thing but make sure you go ahead and leave yourself some material out there on the end and you do a nice little bend over that'll give you something to rivet your connection on your rake trim down to this eve this extended eve later on all right we're gonna do something that i got a lot of feedback on and i thought you know what whether whether they were right or wrong there shouldn't be any water coming down this roof however yes maybe you get some condensation and what we're going to do is just tape off with some of the weather logic seal tape so this is flashing seal tape we're just going to create a barrier here so if water does work its way down it's got to work its way over top and not underneath into the soffit i mean you know what for the cost of this tape and the time it takes to do it um sure it's not bad it's not a bad idea so while i'm up here getting the roof prep greg's down low getting the panels prepped he's using the swenson shear it just makes it really easy to get the ribs punched instead of having to cut them we got that punch that just does a really nice job i'm sure you've already seen us use it and i'm not sure exactly what greg's doing what are you doing greg that's right as you you probably remember you know with that first piece of standing seam we've got this rake cleat trim because this is what's going to lock on and hold the roof panel down by having that rake trim that's going to lock onto this edge of this rake cleat and that first panel that we're going to bend up so what we're going to do is line up our porch roof with our upper roof we aren't going to be able to line up with the vertical siding the vertical siding from lp is exactly 16 inches by time you space it it does grow a little bit we could rip it down but then you have to prime it that's a huge pain maybe lp if you're watching this if you're listening maybe think about the fact that when you space your product it's going to grow so incrementally if you're trying to line up a 16 inch on center vertical siding with studs you should make it maybe 15 and i guess that would be 13 16 that way when you have your 3 8 gap the center of that gap is right on the center of a stud and in this case it would be perfect to have our battens line up exactly with the ribs of our standing seam roof however that's not going to happen that way so while greg is going ahead and getting that panel prepped i just checked this for square i used this time i used the simple pythagorean theorem i made a mark up here at nine foot remember three four five and then i made a mark over here at 12 foot which is uh three times three is nine three times four is twelve three times five is fifteen and i checked it with greg's help and it was it was perfect so i mean we know that because we squared up the porch when we framed it but it's just always good to double check that so when we lay out our steel it's going to go into our hip hopefully perfect so that we got that nice crisp v effect coming out of the hip from both sides with the roof panels so enough talking more working thanks for the panel buddy okay i just gotta make sure i'm on my edge here oh now that i got that first one on i'm gonna go ahead and lay it out 16 centers so [Applause] so all right we got the first lift length of standing seam up i'm going to go ahead and leave this plastic on so that we can get on and off the roof get our connection trim details done uh just to protect the plastic or the the metal as much as possible however you know i know a lot of you are going to say man don't leave that on yeah if you leave it on too long it will bake into the panel and it will be a pain pain to get off luckily right now it's it's really good and we're uh we're in the time of year where it's not going to see a ton of extreme heat or sunlight for that matter but regardless we'll get this side on and we won't just leave this here we'll just go right to getting all the connection trims on so we can clean this off and uh it's kind of impossible not to walk on it at some point we're gonna have to put the siding on and uh finish all that but that won't be too bad of a deal we'll just put some nice fresh clean shoes on all right so we're at the point now where we're into this hip and i think what we're going to do is continue to prep all of these panels because they're all going to be made the exact same and then we'll set up that uh swenson shear for the hips so we're going to use that swenson sheer honestly that is that's probably the most time-saving money-saving reason to have that swenson shear obviously at ten thousand dollars if you're just running barn steel roofs like what we did up here where it's just gable the gable you could probably get away with it however once you enter into hips and valleys and you want precision cuts with like no real skill needed that is where the swenson shear comes into play i'll show you that so let's go ahead and do that all right so i'm getting ready to cut this residential eve around the hip and really i just want to try to make this look good here so what i've done is i've found where my point is but i've left all this material long for now and i think you'll see why i like to just leave it there make sure i've always got enough and so what i'm going to do is make sure that i like this i'm just going to put a put a temporary screw in here so now that we have the first piece of residential evon what i'm going to do is take my second piece the one i'm going to cut to go in here and really all i'm doing is looking for confirming this here i'm looking for where it's going to be at the point which is about right here and that's where i'll cut it so in order to make these miter up i need to know this distance here which is inch and a half what i'll do is come off here inch and a half square this up and for the sake of time let's also go ahead and just continue this 45 up even though it's a little bit it's a little bit bigger than 45 it's not an exact 45 it's actually like 46 and some change let's open that up to 46. just gotta open this up a little bit just gonna shove my sniff in here okay now it's time to bend this around and now i should be able to [Applause] should be able to open this up and this should go something like this but now we have to do is we've got to finish this right here so with this being right about where i want it i'm going to mark that and then before i bring this in i'm just going to double check this has got to get cut and the last thing we got to do to this guy is we're just going to follow this line we're just putting a slight pitch bend on that so we're a little bit gapped here because this is a little bit too long yet there we go nice piece now this will all get sealed down also with some beetle tape and our z closure but that will come at a later date one thing i know you might be looking at thinking's a little bit weird and that is this how it's a little bit wider right here as it goes up it gets smaller because these panels were actually and this was this was something that i did knowingly the pitch cut is 16 and 7 8 of an inch so from this point down to a square line across this is 16 and 7 8. i went ahead and ordered these all 17 inches shorter from one to the next knowing that every piece i was going to get an eighth inch shorter also knowing that it didn't really matter yes visually it'd be nice if these were all perfect it'd be awesome i mean i like that but i guess being efficient and you know instead of buying an extra inch and cutting off uh progressively more that i don't need this allowed us to literally go from the end of the panel not even mess with this rib here and just make a straight cut on the swenson shear so efficiency wise it made it a lot better for us i don't even know why i really i don't really need to explain myself i just wanted to let the people out there with the uh the eyeball to notice that and then question what's going on if our pitch is off it's not our pitch it's the fact that each sheet just gets an eighth inch shorter so it is what it is oh yeah and i did say that i was going to show you how to do this real quickly on the swenson shear and i will i just have been up in the lift greg's down there doing the swenson right now we're going to try to finish this side today and when we go to the other porch where there's another hip i'll try to make some time to do that for you guys show you the video because yes hand snipping is totally doable i hand snipped a few of these greg used the swenson on probably two-thirds of them and you know he could probably make one or two up in my one just because you just gotta hand snip it it takes more time than well you'll see you'll see now i know that the goal and it looks like this side worked out my center of my rib dead on right on the corner of the building so if i want to assume the same thing is going to happen here what i've got to do is square this up the easiest thing i know is just to use the pythagorean theorem right here i'm gonna mark nine foot and i'm gonna come off my building because this is what i want i want this to be right here okay so what i can do set a nail here take my tape measure what we know is that three four five is nine foot rise four foot run five foot diagonal or in this case 9 12 15. now in theory theory that should be 9 foot plus the thickness of our drip edge which is probably like inch and a half so 10 one and a half yeah that's exactly right so which all makes perfect sense so this should be the center of our first full rib there so what we can do is find out where all these marks go oh here do me a fave snap a line so now we can measure off of that to find center of rib locations just to verify uh even though we're going to be basically lining them up with that side if everything is good to go there we like it oh lord 308 it's great news dude five o'clock somewhere okay you're hooked on center 24 5 and a quarter 24 5 and 5 16 bro yeah don't worry don't tell anybody that we're 16th off you gotta come ahead i wouldn't do anything well i'd say not a bad day we were able to get around the bigger porch so we've got the two porches one of them being probably half the size of the other one and greg's giving me the last piece right now that we need for today hardest part is getting through the hip making sure everything stays square and i think we did a pretty good job because everything everything worked out dimension wise now we got to do a lot of trim details in order to finish this porch such as our rake details on the ends of our gables the hip cap and our connection trim that goes along the building to basically make the top waterproof okay so we've talked about the benefits of the snap table you guys have seen us do some standing seam but when you're doing just regular straight panels it's not i mean it's it's a saver but it's not that crazy so i'm going to show you what really makes a snap table pro a big time saver we're doing some hips right now we're going to cut some hips and if you've ever cup and if you've ever cut hip metal you know especially staining seam it can be a little bit cumbersome so what we're going to do is do that real quickly with the snap table go ahead greg so we've got a panel here that we're going to be cutting for the hip we just cut a notch out of it which is a pain to do with snips but totally doable instead of having to hand snip or even use a shear or anything we're just going to run it right through the slitter [Music] and we're going to get a nice factory clean cut ready for the hip and no effort really yeah watch your fingers [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] uh [Music] but [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah and then you need it when you get home hold your laundry and put it away [Music] you
