How to hang tin roofing on the wall.

Place the first screw. Normally this wall would have a house wrap on it like tyvek. In my brain it was going to be some super complicated process that would take forever to get done. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it.

Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof. It s also important to try and blow away the metal shavings. There you have a z trim and an end wall flashing that have been joined using a stitch screw. Nail j channel along the bottom of the wall you re working on.

J channel is an accessory to the siding that s used to receive and hide the ends of the panels so the final product has a smooth and finished appearance. Whether you are talking about brand new sheet metal or reclaimed pieces tin is a building material that has shown up over the years in a variety of formats. Finally situate the metal sheet onto the drywall and attach to the corrugated metal strips using screws designed for the tin. The tin comes in a variety of lengths and is is 26 1 2 inches wide.

Use the nail slots on the j channel to secure it to the wall just like you did with the corner posts. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. I sprayed the back side of the panel and held it in place against the wall. If you can use a saw a drill a level and a stud finder you can do this project.

The shank of the fastener is visible. By installing the first panel square the rest will follow suit. Metal panels are made to overlap a few inches in the grooves. Corrugated metal wall sheets are usually around 24 to 26 inches wide.

To fasten the panels to the wall i used hex head sheet metal screws with a little bit of silicone applied to the threads and 3m hi strength 90 spray adhesive to hold the panels tight against the wall. Start at the end of one wall and use square up. Make sure to be careful of the sparks. Putting a tin wall up in a room is not as challenging as i thought it might be.

This will keep the wall straight as you place additional panels. In this case we ve gone against new construction.
