Manufacturer of steel siding here. You are 100% correct on over tightening fasteners. But one thing you are doing wrong is using an impact gun. Impacts will induce oil canning on some panels. Best to use a variable speed drill with correct settings to avoid the potential. Just my $0.02….. Thanks for the great video.

The metal roof dilemma, do you screw the flat or the ridge?
In hot climates, like Florida, that rubber gasket will last about 10 to 15 years. If you screw on the ridge, setting the torque on your drill will diminish the risk of crushing the crown, the surface contact is less. Screwing down on the flat, provides greater hold. However, the risk for leaks is imminent after the rubber washers dry out.
Speaking from my own experience. Ive found, screwing on the crown creates a downward hole. Once the washer dries out, there remains a gap, a rounded V, but the screw serves as an umbrella. Heavy storms, water will get in. Screwing on the flat just leaves a gap of about 1/32" once the washer dries out.
If only someone could come up with a truly sun resistant washer!!
Either way, crown or flat, once the washer dries out, the seal is no more.
I have a metal roof on my home. I intent to have the screws replaced in about 15 years. Currently replacing the metal roof on my shed. I plan on laying some tylek paper on the plywood, then tar paper on the plywood. My strip boards treated, I cover the top with folded piece of tar paper 4" wide, tacking it down with a staples, then the metal. Tar holds up pretty good, tends to Crack and dry, holds a seal as the years go by.
I assume the washers are going to fail! Ill probably run a bead of roofing tar between the sheets. It's time consuming but do-able for a shed. I've taken down a few old metal roofs, learned much from what I've found.

I put mine on the top ridge, it's been 28yrs and no leaks, water always flows downhill

Looks like leaks down the future, never screen in valleys always at high spots

Why are you installing the fixing screws in the pans of the sheets? This would be a compliance issue in Australia

[chrissleblanc]

Here in the Caribbean we install those screws on the crown not the flats

drills have clutches, for automatic torque slip. impact drivers dont have that.

[sidneyspivey]

It’s a fact that water erosion on the rubber causes the roof to leak. If you want a leaky roof in 15 years, Screw it in the flat

I always put my screws on the crown the raised part of the panels

You know the guy with a black nail, knows how to roof/frame.I have one myself that never grew back.

Everyone knocking the screw pattern, notcie he's at the eave and that is the exact manufacturer recommended screw pattern for 9-36 panel which is what looks like he's using.

this man really puts the hammer to the finger

I put about 2000 of those today. I just set the torque adjusrment on my drill to not compress the washer. Easy peasey

[andrewwalley]

For screw placement it depends on the manufacturer. Some say on the ribs and others say in the flat. Follow your manufacturers install instructions; not the ass hats that take instructions from one product and use it to install all others.

[ghollidge]

You answered meany questions. Thank you

[terryramsawak]

Is that the right place to screwdown metal roofing because here in the Caribbean we screwdown on the lip off the galvanized

[bullfrog]

Over tightening also compromises the paint on the washer decreasing it’s lifespan

[kevindowner]

The best way to do it is with a regular drill not an impact. You can set the drill to set each one perfect evert time.

[freedomisntfree]

Adjust the clutch on your DRILL.
DON'T USE AN IMPACT DRIVER.

yeah just like the one next too it lol
