I've been building for 30 + yrs and I still watch these video tutorials for tips and tricks, always leaning.
That is awesome!
And do you call roof battens purlins like this guy?
Yip, we even have purlin screws,,@@robertbutler8004
@@robertbutler8004 in our code here in NZ that's the technical term bro "purlins" ceiling battens for us are the internal framing members used for fixing you ceiling lining to.
really glad you left room on your pergola to do another video on this! perhaps greenhouse poly on the sides to keep plants warm in winter on another video?
An amazing instructor and teacher, absolutely love the way you present yourself and explain what you're doing; 10/10.
I came here originally just to see what others are using for their fastener screws but ended up staying for the whole video unintentionally just because it was a delight to listen to and watch you work, the little nuances you teach are fantastic things to keep in mind to make things overall more efficient and easier on you during the job, thank you for the insights~!
Cheers! ^Matt
Soooo helpful ..... Thanks Mitre 10 ..... Your instructor deserves a pay rise !

Greetings all the way from South Africa. I want to say thank you for the super simple and well explained tutorials. You have given me the confidence to put up a new car port before the winter rains. As of this morning I have successfully installed 6 polycarb roofing sheets and it looks fantastic. I couldnt have done it so well without you mate! Thanks again.
...really good uh!
That's awesome to hear, good on you! ^Matt
Much more informative than any Aussie bunnings video! Thank you! ( I'm an Aussie) 😀
Thank you for the informative video. Ignore the rude remarks from those ignorant people.
thank you very much for the perfect information that makes it easy to do anything.
Brilliant! I am about to cut some polycarbonate and wanted to know the best tool. Tin snips! Too easy!! Awesome tutorial.
Great tips. Nice looking finish.
I thought I could do it, but way difficult for me, but it was nice and informative how to do this delicate job.thanks a lot.
Thanks Samuel - great instructions and a really convincing accent 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Finally a useful video. well done
So clear great explanation I'm going to do a similar project soon. Great info! Thanks!

Good job and great tips thanks for sharing
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Great video, very helpful. Love the Kiwi accent, similar to us but also different 🙂cheers from your "cousin" across the ditch in Australia
Please ignore the negative comments by ignoramuses. You have done a fantastic job on all fronts-Subject, method, technic, tips, narration, video and audio.Truly professional. Congratulations and hope the world tunes in and learn.
JSW PETERS.... I agree! The worst part is these people are grown ass adults who hide behind a screen name and behave like jerky, little children. Actually, I apologize to the children, mine would never be so rude and disrespectful.
Your wit hits the nail on the head! :)
Love it! Thanks good sir! Sweet as! Learned something else new too!
You're more than welcome Tony! 😊 ^James
Excellent. I’m going to install a small corrugated roof over my quail pen but I’ve never worked with the plastic roofing. I’ve got it now. Thanks for your video.
No worries :) ^James
I’m installing this material in my cats Catio.
I’m doing a chicken coop with it
Nice job mate 👍!!
Excellent advise 👍
You guys make it look so easy. Knowing me I’ll find some way to stuff it up
You'll be fine mate, just follow instructions ^Charlie
@@mitre10nz is this material good for rain? like water proof? for long period of time?

Great video!!! Sheet thickness? Is it 0,8mm?
Beauty, thanks!
Beautiful
Thanks so much sir make easy for me from UK God bless you
Thanks bro!
I cut my sheets with angle grinder, nice video
This is awesome one question Can we add a little gutter and down spot?
Thanks so much! This was so helpful. Just wondered what you'd recommend for building this between 3 walls of the house, rather than just 2? Ie. without being able to work across and fit the last sheet from the edge as there's another wall there! Cheers!
Hey Peter, best to check in with your local store on how best to do this ^Charlie
Lo hace y lo explica tan sencillo que podría hacerlo yo misma y aún sin nada de ayuda. Muchas gracias. I understand all. Thank you.
Cheers for the awesome love and support 🙌
Great Vid thanks (y)
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Kiwis..clean cut and ambitious...Peter Snell RIP...what an inspiration to boomer runners.
Thanks mate
Hi! I'm glad I watched this before roofing my catio. But why did you put the screws through the "hill" of the roofing and not the "valley"? I assumed it would be more secure to screw through the part that touches the wood frame.
The reason for drilling through the crests (hills) and not the valleys is because water pools and runs down in the valleys and is more likely to get in through the screw holes if the screws work a little bit loose. Debris can also get stuck in the valleys around the screws and this could end up damaging the roof. ^Meg
Just make sure you buy the correct washers for fixing the Polycarbonate sheeting.
I didn't and the washers turned out to be for PVC Sheeting.
End result ?
Over a period of about 2 years some of the washers ate holes through the sheeting.
Lesson learned the hard way.
Just wondered why you didn't use eaves filler? I know it's expensive but isn't it supposed to stop wind from getting underneath the sheets and lifting it up?
Hello way down there! Wont water get in between the overlapped corregated plastic roofing panels? And you didnt use those squiggly boards to nail the corregated sheets to. This looks very simple. Ive seen some put silicone along the line between the sheeting. Curious about water getting thru?
In the UK you can get some foam like stuff that matches the roof pattern so the roof sits on it and make a nice tight fit.
We call it Ecofoam here
and its probably the most expensive (for a small pack of foam) part of the job
What’s the platform you are using please?
If you can't find the fancy screws, would deck screws and a bit of silicone work to screw it through the channels instead of the ridges?
What saw blade did you use on that reciprocating saw, mate
What kind of screws are those
Good video, i need to do this job on mine. I noticed you didnt use eaves fillers, are these really necessary?
Each job can be different, but this job didn't require them 🙌 ^Cam
electric sheet metal cutter at harbor freight. a must have.and it's cheap.
Hi I had these in my last gazebo that got destroyed in really bad winds in the uk.. any spacific way of putting them on a wooden home made gazebo
I would have used horizontal closure strips underneath the sheets.
Great videos! Just recently built a pergola with a roof over summer. Works great but now with winter it is so bad with condensation. Frosty mornings mean a wet deck. Any ideas how to stop this problem? The roof has some corrugated iron sheets (for shade) and some polycarbonate sheets(for light)
Have you given the wood a treatment coat to help with longevity Eden? Might be best to take a few photos of the pergola you've made into your local store and chat with the team who will be able to advise what's best 😊 ^Charlie
@@mitre10nz thanks for the reply. I used treated wood and put a coat of paint on. Okay I'll take photos and go in store. 👍
Good video. I am designing a home for my son, it will be located is Idaho which is snow country, but no real heavy snowfall. I imagine New Zealand has snowfall. We would like to have the minimum pitch you would recommend?
We don't really except in the most southern parts of NZ or in the mountainous areas where people don't really live. So this would not be engineered to hold snow weight .
Have you ever had to walk on the roof to make a repair? If so, how did you prevent falling through?
What is that wind rated at?
Why do you screw down the panels on the peaks and not the valleys? (great video btw)
Great question! We drill through the crests (peaks) and not the valleys because water pools and runs down in the valleys and is more likely to get in through the screw holes if the screws work a little bit loose. Debris can also get stuck in the valleys around the screws and this could end up damaging the roof. ^Meg
Looks great but the apron sheathing on top of the corrugated panel is overkill. He already installed spacers behind the wall ribbon board to let the water drain. So why make it watertight on top? This is an outdoor structure anyway. Also, opening the siding to slide the apron may work on wood siding but is not an option for aluminum or vinyl siding which is common in North America. Trying to pry open the vinyl or aluminum the same way he is doing here will destroy the siding.
Can you tell me the exact name and size of those screws please? This was very helpful!

Bro awesome vid i was always taught before laying the polycarb sheets to line the perlins with a foam strip ,weather the top of the sheet with a heat gun and some pliers especially being on a 5° pitch and a small bead of silicone on the underlaps other than that bro awesome im learning heaps off of watching your vids thanks
I seen some videos using the foam enclosure under the panel where you screw down. You didn't use that. Is it needed.
You would use the foam in a closed roof structure as they are used to create weather tightness. In an pergola it’s not needed as it’s an open space.
Epic!
It looks great 👍 but I was wondering if the drill holes 🕳 in the polycarbonate will let water 💧 in and begin the rot?
You'll see the big rubber head on top of the screw. That sections on to the roofing so no water can get in
The roofing screws used have seals that prevent water from getting through the holes in the polycarbonate. So should be totally fine.
He did a very good job of measuring and installing and I find these pissy arse comments annoying.
Typical for RUclips.
what brand/style screws are those? I cant find anything with that nice big rubber cap.

i watch on video, will learn make difference myself but dont have certificate how get it
Where can you get those special screws as they don't seem to be sold here in the USA.
Hi ya, we have them here in NZ www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/clearfix-polycarbonate-fasteners-14g-x-50mm-pack-of-50-grey/p/192627 not sure what they are called in the USA, possibly roofing screws 😀
Do the fixings have to be every second ridge or can you stretch it to every 3rd?
Hey there, we'd recommend having a chat to the team at your local store for some personalised advice - they'll also know the conditions in your area a bit better 👍
from california. Good video. what name brand of rubber cone shaped wood screw do you use?
Foartef

You should use a drill with the torque set rather than an impact driver every time you put the screws in you had to Back them out again
i use cheap bosch Cordless Drill for this screw impact driver is so strong
That's
Could you tell me the reason behind putting screws on the hills of the material instead of the valleys??
Hi Mary, great question! We drill through the crests (hills) and not the valleys as water pools and runs down in the valleys - it's more likely to get in through the screw holes if the screws work a little bit loose. Debris can also get stuck in the valleys around the screws and this could end up damaging your roof. ^Meg
In 08:27, where I can get the soft edge in Mitre10, what’s the name this called, “soft edge”? Thank you
Wouls could you use on the side to prevent the wind from ripping it off?
Hey there, we'd recommend having a chat to the team at your local store for some personalised advice - they'll also know the conditions in your area a bit better 👍
Could this work for a greenhouse
Cool
You didn't use noise stop tape between the purlins and polycarbonate sheets??
Hi Steve! Our teams would recommend doing so if noise might be an issue, but this isn't required 🤗 ^Cam
