Typical Ned DIY - How I Installed My Porch Awning Standing Seam Metal Roof

In this episode of Typical Ned DIY...

I take a stab at installing a standing seam metal roof on our newly built front porch awning. The whole metal roof installation took roughly 25 hours of labor over the course of one week.

Key takeaways:
- A lot of metal bending and cutting involved
- Snap lock panels and easy install clips made the roof panels a quick job
- Standing Seam Metal Roof takes much longer and more experience than standard metal roof without hidden fasteners (looks great though)
- Need to order roof panels roughly another inch longer to account for extended eave drip edge overhang
- Difficult to make edges look perfect
- Probably need to get better metal snips

All metal roof materials were ordered through Classic Metals in Chester, SC. The total of all metal materials cost $720 for this ~8ftx16ft awning.
