How to do tin on hip roof.

In this part i cover proper screw tension cutting metal for val. We re going to get the hip cap in place and let it overhang at the eave so that i can make marks and bend it down. One option is to put a lineal flashing up the hips before the roofing is installed this flashing can channel any water that does enter down to the bottom of the roof allowing it to exit there. Figure out the slope of the roof by setting a carpenter s level on the underside of one rafter in the attic.

First we re going to put the hip cap in place and mark it so that we can prepare the end here at the eave and the top at the ridge. This is part 4 of a 6 part video series explaining how i installed a metal roof on my house. Use measuring tools to find the length and width of the roof from the ground outside. Measure the vertical distance rise from the 12 inch mark on the level run to the underside of the same rafter.

For trapezoidal roofs measure the bottom edge the top edge also known as the ridge and the distance between the 2 edges. All you have to do is install the sections interlocking each one and screwing it down with sealed screw then your done. Slope is calculated as rise over run. Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge.

In some cases too the panels can be flattened as they approach the hip providing a smoother area to attach the caps. As a do it yourself homeowner you can save on the cost of installing a tin roof by installing the stripping on an existing shingle roof or after the roofer installs the moisture barrier on roof. Always begin working at the point with the longest peak to eave distance. Find the dimensions of each of the roof s faces.

If the roof has a triangular shape stretch your tape measure along the bottom edge then measure from the peak point down to the center of the bottom edge.
