Thanks it was quite labor intensive notching the metal. I hope to start on the rest of the shop soon. But I got to cut the trees out of the way and cut one that's in the way of the carport I'm building for the wife

How did you cut the metal. I do commercial roofing which is almost always 24ga and I just cut the stuff with red handled wiss snips. That looks like 29ga classic rib style metal. It should cut with ease.

I use my craftsman circular saw with a 7in cutting wheel. It works great just having to make templates to fit around the rafters took a while. This metal is pretty thick, we'll thicker than what you get at lowes. It's thick gauge roofing metal not sure of the gauge tho.

Yeah laying that kinda stuff out can take a while.

On my phone it looked like 29ga but if it is a thicker metal then cutting it can be tricky if you're not used to messing with the stuff. Every time we get a new guy working for us I laugh at them trying to cut the panels.

Shed looks good.
