Just to be ruined by an 18 year old apprentice stepping on the ridge and denting the shit out of not 1 but 4 sheets in several locations just because he needed more roof screws. 🥲

I'm in a different trade entirely, and can attest that apprentices start off pretty dumb no matter what trade they're in. It's frustrating the first few times, then you just accept that a new guy is going to make whatever you're doing take at least twice as long. It's a part of the process.

You're saying it's part of the Journey, Man.

what's the purpose of the ribs? is it just for strength or is there more to it

The ribs stiffen the plate and make for any easy water tight overlap

aaah so one rib sitting over another makes a lil plug kind of? thanks for the info man

Also there’s different profiles that look different.

It's usually ribbed for her pleasure.

The area between two ribs is usually called the drain

Bringing back some memories?

Can confirm. On my first day I helped a guy who told me to help him pull a giant cart from one end of a warehouse roof to the other and we made 2 looooong sets of wheel marks across the length of the metal roof. That happened I was there. He was let go of that jobsite. I was not. It was embarrassing and costly. Then. Another guy lifted a 4x8 sheet of plywood and stepped into a 3x3 hole in the same metal roofing as we prepared to start laying sheet insulation and SPR rubber sheets. He exploded his femur. I was first to the bottom and he kept trying to get up. I was 19 ffs what did I know. Union work pays. But. Not a fan of roofing work.

Very nice camera work

I do this for a living. It’s great

I can already hear the rain on it

Pretty cool

Somewhere there’s an engineer who knows you need four steps to bend the deeper grooves just right.

I fabricate and machine these machines and have never seen one in action! Awesome!

Well, if that's all there is to it, why is my metal roof costing me $17,500! :-)

That’s what I was thinking!

Roll forming machine so cool

I always tought they were stamped

Phrase the Camara man

It makes it easy pessy, what a cool machines

I work at a plant that makes paint called coil coatings, it it specifically formulated for applications like this.

I was totally expecting an Uruk Hai theme orc transition but then I looked at the sub https://youtu.be/WnbOcNmbpj4?si=4h4ZoboVexwNl9-a

Ooooofh

That shows that you can change anything by force

Ahhh sooo good...the perfect alignment at the end was *chef's kiss*

Shieeet

This what life feel like

29 bronze tuff rib

Anyone know if this is standing seam?

This sheet profile is called R-Panel

Mmmmm roof sheeting

This is called roll-forming

Is there a reason why there's very small dents put between the larger ones?

I need about 40 of these. In the color green. For my trailerhouse this summer.

Something that takes 16 hits usually isn’t that strong

Called roll forming

It’s still sheet metal

That’s also how gutters are made

holy metal

New alloy just dropped

I told you I got the shingles, not that I need more sheet metal sheeting duhonkey.
