I would love it if you guys did more complicated metal details. Most people know how to install this if they have decent guidance, plus y’all have other videos on this exact installation. Subjects like what to do on a valley return. On what to do when when a rake meets an eve on a valley. That’s what us metal roofers need more guidance on!
I think it would be fantastic if you could do a video like this for every detail in your installation manual, and then organized it (maybe even link to RUclips from the manual). It would be such a great resource for people to be able to pull up the installation manual and then instantly go to a video that shows the detail (a video can show so much more than a manual can).
Completely unnecessary(and aesthetically terrible) to bend any ridge cap 4" down the face of a rake. If make your rakes meet properly 1" or even down to a peen over would more than suffice and look much better and keep all rivets on top. I generally don't even use rakes, longer face drip, roll form a hem, squeeze the hem to the drip up the rake. This then allows you to box the end of the z bar to hook and hem the cap as well. Much better and cleaner.
Boxed end gables are ugly and lazy. Not to mention, a snow trap in the northern climates. It's a giant flag that the installers are just installers and not sheet metal workers. And while we're at it, let's riddle the whole thing with exposed fasteners.
The detail remains the same on a hip even though we're demonstrating a ridge install. The termination of the hip flashing at the end of the run will be slightly different as well, but that is installer preference. -Thad

More content on tie-ins and things like that? Noted! Thanks for the feedback! -Thad

Stay tuned - we've got several more of these videos coming out over the next few weeks! -Thad
Do offer workshops

This is not a hip. Noobs
