Corregated metal roofing measure

[Kaizen]

About to place the order for my metal roofing and would love to have it correct as it looks like a 4 week delivery.
Can only afford corrugated 3 foot wide panels.....still can't understand why sq ft of raised ridge in same thickness is 35percent more.

Concern I have is length. I can get 5,8,10, or 12 foot pieces. Exact measure from top of ridge to end of ply is 19' 9.5". Figure I add drip edge of one inch and metal overhang that by an inch i'm at 19' 11.5".
Ridge cap says its 14 inches so is that covering 7 on each side? or less like 5?
Manufacturer says overlap panels by 6 inches which is where I have the problem.

I'd obviously like no waste which is why I was hoping to just use 2 ten footers on each run. Thinking if I slide the top one down 4 inches from peak of ridge and only have 4 inch overhang it will be ok?
Or should I use a ten and 12 foot and overlap a foot or so?

I don't know where you are in New England. I ordered​ mine to exactly the length I needed. So no seam and was not anymore money. I had mine in a week I have 4 inch's of over hang at the eves. Here is a pic of my garage. Panels are 17 feet long.

I don't know much about this subject. Around here we have a bunch of people and a few actual manufactures that you simply give your roof dimensions to. They will put you a kit together. I'm thinking they can run your 19' length in one sheet. Maybe I'm wrong though. I think the seams would look like **** if you bought it in shorter pieces like you are wanting to do.

I'm in southern NH. I'll be doing this solo so thinking 20 foot panels are too big for me to handle. where did you order yours from? corrugated?
looking at HD for the color I want.

 

[Buckgnarly]

I got mine from the local lumberyard to exact lengths, within 3 days. Mine were 15'6" and 23' 11". The 23' took two people to move, to awkward and easy to bend/oil can if not carried right.

It's not a one person job. One on the ground and two on the roof . Get it full length- the exact size you need. It will go quick once your onto a system

 

[Garagetime]

Depot Home center out Charles Town N.H 20 panels cost me $1065 with ridge cap and screws. The brand is Ideal meta! Roofing. If I remember right 50 year on painted panels 20 or 30 on paint. I got the same roofing on my house. I would really shop around on pricing. It took myself and a friend on the ground to put up.Yes it's corrugated metal.

I agree not a one man job myself​ and my friend put up started at 7am done at 2:30 pm went fast when we got the system going.Also 20 foot panel with help and no wind would should not be too bad to put up. The panels on my house are almost 18 foot long and a very steep pitch.

 

[Kaizen]

OK i'm seeing a trend in the answers. how would 2 people do it? 2 ladders carrying it up like a long gutter? get flat on roof and then rotate into position?

 

[Garagetime]

I was up on the roof friend on the ground. He would would push up to me then I would drag into place. I would measure at top gable for first panel. He would measure at bottom gable and eves. Then my friend only measured at eves to keep even. Also the no wind part is very important on a panel that size or even smaller . The guy on the ground will not be able to handle them and gloves needed too.

This sounds like you're pulling them off the stock rack at Home Depot.
Go to a couple of local lumberyards, they can order them any length up to about 50'. They order it custom rolled for customer jobs and often fill the truck with common lengths for stock. Get the exact length you want, not what the local home center has in stock.

Odds are good your local dealer is getting the material from one of these manufacturers. If not, call them and ask for your local distributor...

We get it rolled to order, its the better heavy gauge stuff and is usually cheaper than the thin gauge cheap stuff from the local merchant.

My local lumberyards have no trouble delivering goods 20' and more. Delivery is usually quite reasonable too, as I surely couldn't handle such long pieces on my roof rack.

It seems like a no-brainer to me to avoid the unnecessary seam.

 

[-Brent-]

Yeah, like PugetDude posts, you're not looking in the right place.

There should be a few places in your state that will make whatever you want, any color, any length (within reason), as well in choices in rib spacing to meet your needs.

I will make some calls. Throughout this build my local lumber yards were not even in the ballpark for what I got so far. Trusses were almost thirty percent more then hd. 2x was 15 to 20 percent more even for the complete order.

HD does special orders too.

 

[Garagetime]

HD was way more money. I had prices from $1065 to $2700 all from different lumber yards. I made sure I was pricing same gauge type and warntey. Also all of them would deliver right to my drive way.

 

[markco]

You're in New England, try Beacon Sales locations. Cut 2 measure in about 2 weeks.

 

[jdeshong]

What size is your building?

 

[Marctrees]

No no no....

You get this ordered cut to exact length at a Steel Building supply place, NOT at HD or local lumberyard.

Give them your ridge to drip dimension, they will advise.

And also the fasteners at SAME place.

building is 30x36.
I'll give those places a call. My first go round I couldn't find anyone near me for some reason. Just thought we must not have any big steel places doing this. Only found local guys that would come roll it out but again prices were high. Ya'll put down some good leads so i'll give them a call. Appreciate the leads.

 

[rburke65]

I got my metal roofing panels in exact length measurements. I don't understand the problem.

 

[MagKarl]

Roll the panels up into somewhere between a U and O shape and hold it with two motorcycle straps. That stiffens the panel and the straps make good handles.

Long panels are floppy, you don't want to kink them. We tried a couple different ideas on my barn and settled on rolling the big panels. Mine were over 20 feet.

 

[bpjr]

I ordered precut parts based on instructions from the company I bought materials from. They ship but may be too far for you. Prices were less for the kit than buying stock sheets locally and cutting them. The panels are stronger than HomeDepo type panels too. They have matching trim and will cut to drip edge size. I went over the old shingle roof and drip edges so the had a larger drip edge made to cover the old. They made a kit that fit pefectly and no panel cutting was needed. It was a 14x24 roof and I did 50% of the install by myself with longest panels 7'.

Here's their website. It has good info for installations and other details for metal roofs. http://www.ddmetal.com/home.htm

20 panels 17 feet long. What was the width? or total sq footage? cant tell from your picture are those ribbed or standing seam?

 

[Marctrees]

You will have wood frame pole or post barn builders that serve your area.

Contact them and ask for suppliers. Marc

Doesn't seem to be around me. I remember someone in southern maine 30 min from me that couldn't find a builder let alone big outfits like the rest of you guys seem to have.

Closing up this thread. Found a lumber yard able to get cut to order and delivered in 2 days for 100 less then home depot's price of 1.03 sq ft. Not spectacular savings but best I could find.
Made 20 calls. Most places that make these panels are wholesalers so wont sell to me.
The ones that would had lower prices like .92 sq ft but had freight charges of 2-300 dollars so put them above hd.
A few retailers told me to contact their manufacturer, figure out what I wanted, and call them back when I knew color code etc. wtf why would I go through them?
I think in southern nh where I am we don't have a lot of farms and not a ridiculous snow load like up north so metal roofs aren't predominant and maybe then the supply isn't there.

38 inch's wide they cover 36 inch's you loose 2 inch's panels have to lap on to each other. Yes they are ribbed panels.

69 cents square foot? Might be worth the drive and trailer rental

I went and found my slip on my roofing for my garage. I was off on the length and how many panels. They were 16 foot long and there was 22 panels. I looked at my house slips they were 17 foot 6 inch's. Anyway here's a pic of my garage roofing slip.

Thanks. Still twenty cents sq ft better then I have found.

^^^ This is the trick. Myself and a helper on the roof, and someone on the ground passing up rolled up sheets, did a quonset style barn on a windy day in Calgary. The sheets were ~30' long.

 

[rburke65]

I set up a wooden extension ladder, extended to the max up on theedgeoftheroof. Two of us picked up a ? 20' roof panel, opposite sides, curled it a little. Set it on the ladder. He pushed it up the ladder to me. I pulled it up and we set it, screwed it down. Repeat. Easy.

 

[larry4406]

Slight hijack - I am interested in learning how to install this type of roofing. My upcoming shed build has a change in roof pitch on one side where it transitions into a lean-to shape from 10/12 to 4/12. How would the slope change be accommodated (without a vertical step change in roof)?

Let's be careful with terminology, big difference between standing seam roofing and corrugated or ribbed roofing. On standing seam , there are no visible fasteners and it will last forever if installed properly and high quality materials are used. Not easily installed DIY unless you have the right tools.

Corrugated and ribbed use visible fasteners - typically screws now - and will eventuality need the fasteners replaced because the sealing washers will fail over time. Easily installed by the DIY.

OP, I find it hard to believe there are no metal roofing manufacturers in your area. I'd even look on Craigslist for "metal roofing", around here the guys that make the roofing will sell direct to a homeowner if the homeowner knows what they need.

Didn't say that. Said I found some but their freight charges made the price more then Home Depot. I'm still looking if you know of one not listed

If I read your post correctly, the HD solution requires two pieces per run of metal from ridge to eave? In that case, a small premium is worth it in the long run. One less place to deal with a leak, looks better as one piece. Less trips up and down the ladder as well. The length pieces you are talking about are no problem for 2-3 people.

As you mentioned, for the length you need a trailer and pickup would make it a manageable delivery.

 

[Marctrees]

Kaizen - Just to make sure.....

Probably a "Duhhh do ya think" comment on my part....

But you do know by know this stuff comes in like 3 different gauges, yes?

And that varies the price of course.

Just wanna make sure, Marc
