Make your own plastic corrugated roof panel ridge

I show how I made custom ridge panels for plastic corrugated roof sheets for a client project. The panels are 32 inches, bent on-center to the angle needed for this roof slope, using a heat gun. Music by yours truly.

Very clever and probably won't compromise the plastic

This video needs more recognition. Brilliant. Better than any preformed ridge cap you can buy.

Nice clean video, straight to the point without any hyperbole. Thank you for sharing this! Now to go do my own install 😩 lol wish me luck! 😸

Praise God for you and for getting straight to it without a bunch of bragging! May He bless you 10 fold!

Wow I love the direct to the point. You rock

[diymanbelfast]

I never even thought about this way, brilliant and thanks for sharing

Oh My - I was looking at your set up and i'm thinking, please use a heat gun, please use a heat gun LOL! First time I have seen someone do what was in my head! - thank you SO dang much! I don't have as much as an angle as you. I converted an old stick + vinyl siding shed into a green house last season and hardware stores in canada need to special order in ridge caps (nuts IMHO)... this season I will be removing the old plywood/shaker roof and replacing with corrugated polycarbonate.... this is going to save me some bucks. Thank you again...

I was thinking of using heat for corners and I’ll be damned if your video popped up. Well done Tom! Keep up the good work man

Thanks, might try my brothers bandsaw

Fantastic idea. I'm looking for an alternative ridge for an asbestos corrugated roof. I could use bonding sealant to fix it to the panels, so I don't have to drill through the asbestos sheeting. How do you determine the pitch angle? Where did you get the white profile blocks for the template?

IM WORKING ON A BACKYARD SHADE AND I AM USING THE SQUARE CORRUAGTED POLYCARBONATE PANELS. I NEED A 90 DEGREE BEND FOR THE ROOF CORNER AT THE BACK. I WILL TRY THIS METHOD TO BEND THE PANELS. THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT.

Excellent job! What is your preferred method for attaching the panels to the rafters? Thanks

[JustMeZero]

Good video and I was getting excited LOL
You got to the part where you said you made a template.
What did you use to make the template? as i would like to do the same.
Sorry it's 3 years later. I'm always late for the party. 😂😂

[trevorvanzuydam]

It would probably work on any type of plastic roofing materials right?

[SaintTrinianz]

Brilliant! Hope this works on PVC panels as well...

I cannot find a 10' ridge cap, with the channels sloping downward, like yours does. This is the best idea I've seen. Thank you for the inspiration!
I am using tin snips to cut my polycarbonate.
Also, did you build yourself a stop, so all the angles were the same?

[grizzlya]

Could you take a full sheet and use this method to cover an entire shed roof?

[priyankalahiri-]

Interesting ! How much did it cost to make the whole thing?

[samuraioodon]

I have a metal corrugated panel roof. Can it be easily done? Don’t think I could use heat to bend though. Any tips? Thank you
