Thanks brother! Helps a lot 👏🏾

[@Homeonthetools]

🙏🏻 glad it helped

[@Murdomcd]

Great video mate, thanks for this. Super clear and easy to follow

[@Pat672]

you should never use a grinder or hot cutting tool it will ruin the paint and rust the roof from the Sparks it is a good thing that you use the nibbler tool

[@stevowyeth]

Looks like a great job mate, I might give this a go myself. Bit worried as I have to cut through our VJ panel roof but it can’t be that bad. Instead of making the oversized cuts on the side sheets do you think it would be easier to cut the sheet just slightly larger and then remove for install. Would that eliminate the need to have the additional sheet’s riveted/screwed on top to finish off?

Thanks mate, glad you liked the vid
With the flashing Velux only offer the flashing kit I installed or a custom one the has an apron the sits right the way around the skylight on top of the roof sheet, (It wouldn’t fit in the side by side configuration) There is companies making other flashing options but not Velux that I can see. Skylights are well worth it, I have just lined the under side with hardwood VJ and looks mint 👌Good luck

Hi great video.. Could you please provide the model numbers for the window and flashing kit please?

[@Homeonthetools]

No probs, glad you liked the vid, skylight was product code C01 and the flashing kit EDW-C01 hope this helps, the Velux website has all the products and codes as well if you want a different size, I installed their smallest ones for reference

[@henrybodega4211]

Is it alright to use these skylights with the 100mm insulated corrugate?

[@Homeonthetools]

Hey mate, the skylights would be fine it’s the flashing that might be the problem, you would need to remove some of the insulation to allow room for the flashing to slide under if that makes sense

[@willfisher860]

Did you cut the corner to corner bracing strap?

[@Homeonthetools]

Yeah, I’m building out the pergola so have braced the roof now on the inside of the rafters if that makes sense

[@joniboulware1436]

How do you get the custom flashing.?
.

[@Homeonthetools]

Hey mate the skylights each have a corresponding flashing that you can order from Velux when you order your skylights, this was a standard flashing for a fixed skylight, pitched roof, tin roof, hope that helps

[@combok660]

Part numbers is hat I mean by model numbers

[@Homeonthetools]

Yep got ya

[@brianrennie1669]

confusing, can't follow

[@Homeonthetools]

Which part? It’s literally step by step

[@brunoramos4394]

Good work sir 👍, would it work if marked a few lines ,nice and square and use a mag77 skillsaw with a metal blade ?

[@Homeonthetools]

Hey mate, yeah I reckon it would work a treat with the metal cutting blade, no reason it wouldn’t work 👍🏻
