Wow! really good video! thank you I'm working on an awning roof with corrugated metal and this is Gold info, I've been trying to piece together what it all entails and this really helps!!
Ive just done my conservatory roof using the 100mm (4") insulated steel sheets and really it was so easy and its so strong i have a span of 2.7m (9') with only end support and i can walk on it
@ 1:00 how come as the metal sheet increases in thickness their span distance increase, they should actually decrease as more weight would need more supports? Can you please explain this

Hi Evan, maintenance can vary between material finish and location, i.e if your near the coast you will need more maintenance than in-land locations. Our leathergrain coating has great durability and requires less frequent maintenance.

The only problem I see here is placing screws in the valley of the profile. I had a pergola attached to my house and the builders placed screws into the valley of the profile and most of them leaked. I did not realize what was happening until the timber fascia board of the house began to rot, by that time the damage was done.
I have to agree and have done many small roofs with these sheets and always fix through the ridges. My thinking like yours: If any fixing might leak then at least it's at the highest point whereas if fixed through the 'valley' Sod's law says it will be at the lower end of the sheet at the point where. most of the water will be, i.e. in the middle of a river. Likewise I've never seen the sense of fixing roofing felt with nails. If you search on youtube you'll find more than one channel on these sheets recommending fixing on the high points.

What do you do if the day you installed your roof the wind was coming from the west, and the day after it comes from the east ? Do you have to uninstall and reinstall your roof each time the wind changes direction ? lol
2:20 - Oops, you missed a few screws on the bottom row. That’s a good way for your roof to get ripped off. Especially in a high wind areas. Skimping on screws will come back to haunt you down the road.
You should fix the main fixings to the low part of the profile - the video is correct. This method avoids denting the crown and ensures a firmer fixing point as the screw engaes straight into the joist.
Nick - This is worng advice. Special saddle washers should be used if fixing through the crown of the sheet to avoid denting. Please refer to a number of manufacturers installation guides on box profile. You are however correct if fitting corrugated profiled steel sheets.
@@duncankingston50 OK, I'll qualify my advice. In practical terms, there is never a case for putting the screws in the valleys, even for box profile roofing. Don't allow anyone to do this to your roof unless you can be sure they will be around in twenty years time to fix the damage caused when the washers fail. And some of the the washers will fail because roofers always over or under tighten some roofing screws. My objection is that the video shows this as 'the' way to fix roofing sheets, and does not warn users of the potential pitfalls. It's simply a risk roofers don't have to take.
@@nickreid5297 You haven't warned users of anything either. Too obvious to spell out? What sort of comment is that? If you have something to say, say it, or keep it to yourself
@@007alztruli OK, I'll spell it out for you. If you put screws in the valleys, water will eventually leak through, rotting out the roof structure. This will happen if the roofer over or under tightens the screw, or years down the track when the washers deteriorate.
@@nickreid5297i think the tricky bit is that with this box type cladding you have a flat top not rounded like with corrugated sheets that means you can not tighten the screws enough as the flat will pull down, an arch has more structure. Therefore you will bend it and the washer wont sit right and wont be pinched right. My 2 cents anyway. I am installing my roof in the next few days.
