You should explain how many fasteners are needed per foot and why are you screwing it where you’re screwing it and when you’re applying the tape and why so it makes more sense.

But once you screwed in the Z bar over that first panel, that first panel can no longer move with fluctuations in temperature. Doesn't that delete the purpose of using the clips on the right of the first panel?

First thing I do is check where pipes are coming through to adjust the first piece so the seams miss most or all pipes. Then I chalk a line about 6 inches or so up parallel to the eave because most old buildings are out of square or wavey and the gables are rarely straight. Then I make another line perpendicular to the bottom line using the 3-4-5 method to indicate where I want the first panel to go. Having a perfectly square first panel will prevent sawtoothing.

@@SkywalkerRoofingCompany instead of 3-4-5, can you not just place one panel at the rake, then another panel at the other end of the slope and then pop a chalk-line between the two panels in order to get a straight run without saw-toothing? Here in South Louisiana the decks are never square, including even new construction projects.

Interesting Mr. Wilson. You mentioned the importance of the panel being able to expand and contract. Then you screw the first panel down via the "Z bar". Isn't this counter to what you just said about expansion and contraction? What am I missing?

great presentation I have never used a brake before. I took on a project , my own cottage in Puerto Rico. I want to bend all the roof members my self . Standing seam roof panels , facias, rakes , soffits door an window trim etc. I need help to find and buy the right brake for $ 2500. or less. I will be shipping to PR with a feww other tools with freight forwarders in Jacksonville FL. So far a van mark 20 contractor with a 20 inch throat might work . Please advise Brandon

As an alternative method we trim the 1st panel to width plus 1.5” (for 1” eave trim)and crimp/hem the trimmed edge to lock over the rake trim. Then use hand crisper to lock in place just like bottom edge of panel. Very clean look. No Z trim or screws in topside of the panel.

That being said, I have the material for a standing seam roof but I feel a bit overwhelmed as I’m not a metal guy by trade. I was a remodeling carpenter by trade and have a grasp but not enough confidence to tackle solo. Honestly, I simply can’t afford to hire a roofing contractor as the material alone just cost me more than material and install 7 months ago. Do you know any helpers looking for side work in the Wilmington area I could hire for a day or two to help with the install? Thanks

The panels, I believe, are made to expand and contract lengthwise along the clips. However, on the rake ends the panels are screwed down when the Z metal is attached so that they cannot expand without causing damage at the screw locations. It seems this is an inherent flaw. If I have a misconception, please help me understand. Thanks.

In theory you are right, but on the rake edge I would want permanent fasteners holding the panel down for high wind situations.

I was taught something along these lines, but we use a 10” clip system that has hooks on the rake edge, and bends up and over the rib of the starting and finishing panel to hook and slide the trim, matching the profile. Less material required using only 3-4 per rake trim (bottom, middle, seam/top). Uses less material and doesn’t require butyl and screws into the roof, not that this isn’t a good system 👍 If you’d like an image of what I’m explaining, I’ll be on a job next week and would be happy to share! ✌️

@SkywalkerRoofingCompany
Жыл бұрын
We typically use a line at the ridge, but as you go across the panels can move as you screw them down. If you see it start to run off, you can either pull the top of the panel or bottom of the panel to stretch it and start to correct it. You might have to do that to several panels to get back square. Hope this helps.

These panels can only run one direction, there is a male and and a female side. Therefore, you should start on one end and measure across the roof to see how the panel will end up at the end and adjust. Unfortunately, you've never personally done a roof like this or you would know that.
