I Built a 2,000 Sq Ft Cabin With Zero Experience!

What happens here

The roofing process involves installing a waterproof membrane over the roof sheathing, followed by the installation of metal roofing panels. Due to the A-frame's steep pitch and the specific design requiring single-piece panels that run from the eave to the ridge (32 feet long), this is a challenging task. Workers use ladders and safety harnesses to navigate the steep roof. The metal panels are carefully lifted, positioned, and then secured to the roof structure using specialized fasteners. This stage is crucial for weatherproofing the cabin, especially in areas prone to heavy snow and rain.

Goal: Install a durable, weather-resistant metal roof on the A-frame cabin.

Tools and materials

  • Fasteners (e.g
  • roofing screws)
  • Ladders
  • Metal Roofing Panels
  • Roof Underlayment/Waterproof Membrane
  • Safety Harnesses/Ropes

What they say

Hide

have a full structural building, it's time for the roof. In our situation, we are chasing the snow. that's right around the corner. The roof that you see behind me is each individual pieces that run all the way to the top measuring at 32 feet long. That means these are special cut pieces that be installed right at the moment. The huge problem that we ran in at this point was the fact that the materials that were measured were not the correct length. We were off by 2 ft. There's definitely solutions where you can overlap them, but being such a high steep pitch, you would see this really awkward seam down the middle, which would definitely be a huge eyesore. We were lucky enough to get the new materials ordered just within weeks and have the waterproofing membrane on top of the roof cuz of course we got rained on and of course we got snowed on. But we're able to clear everything out and install the brand new roof. All in all, that entire budget was $14,000. We'll be talking about
