My pop and i built a pole barn 20 odd years ago that is still standing tall. we used a metal (i think tin) roof that we hand nailed to the purlins with the standard nail with a rubber ring around the head to keep out water.
we are pricing out building another pole barn. this time, we are going to use metal siding in addition to the metal roof. i am considering purchasing a nail gun to do the job.
can a nail gun be used to install metal roof/siding?
how does the nail gun prevent applying too much force and crusing the rib on the metal sheet being installed?
is a framing nailer or a different nail gun used?
direct experience is greatly appreciated!
thanks!
