5v metal

I do pretty much nothing but shingles for the last 30 years.But I have a possible 5v job coming soon. I worry about the metal dust created. by driving in the screws. However you make sure none is left on the panel to avoid rust spots. Also oil canning, never found a way to avoid this. What's the best way to ventilate???. Would appreciate any tips on 5v.???? THANKS

5v applied to many $300,000.00 -$500,000.00 homes here. Holds up well especially if applied with 3/4 inch foam and battens. There are problems with most if not all roofing installs and products. Maintenence is the key to most problems. B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Evey Day

5v galvalume coverage is 24 inches. It's popular on the beaches, holds up good in hurricanes, the screws are exposed. Standing seam fasteners are hidden.

Its s crewed up OS, for sure. I don't think the 5v panel is 36" tho. I dunno, do net search and find a picture :P

So "Pole barn metal" I have heard people call it ag metal, pronouncing the "a" and the "g" or just call it ag metal as in agriculture, but it is still pole barn metal roofing and siding, attached with screws or nails. "Cheap" at Menards or Lowes, maybe $.90 a foot, but then again you maybe get 29 gauge. if you buy the 26 gauge it cost a lot more and then if you buy the 26 gauge or 24 gauge standing seam metal with the accessories you are looking at about $2.50 to $3.00 a foot for materials. No wonder people like to call it "standing seam" What are we doing to ourselves?

"your the first roofer to tell me that" is a common phrase I hear. I love hearing that, but many times it's a job killer.

The Sheep follows.

Yes clover, same here. 36" wide, standing seam, lifetime roof. I'm about done "educating" the customer. Heres your price. ?........... Actually educating the customer is easy. Its going against the bs they keep hearing and believing that drains me.... B)

Is it the same as a classic rib 36" panel? I've heard people call a different profile of that standing seam. That'll make ya laugh.

We do have a LOT of people that want pole barn metal on their houses around here. I've finally caved in and started bidding them. The conversation normally starts like this:

Customer: I heard them thar metal roofs are cheaper.

Me: :blink:

Its a ef panel, that is popular in the south, altho I have seen a few round here.on outbuildings and barn s only

And just what is "5v" metal?

No clue. Never used it on a home. On small dog houses, I use a 1" drip edge all around and lock all sides to that, no screws. You might check the DIY forums for homeowner solutions.
