Sheeting is typ installed before roof to add rigidity to the structure prior to installing trusses/decking.

So walls were framed and then stood and then trusses were put on and strapped the steel is going directly on the strapping here is a picture

 

[JayT54]

So just wondering if I can put steel on walls before roof if it matters

 

[SW Dweller]

I would plumb and square the building before the roof.

 

[JayT54]

Everything is plumb and square just wondering if it makes a difference to do steel on the walls first or the roof

 

[u2slow]

All i can say is my shop walls were fully sheathed in plywood before the roof went on.

 

[JayT54]

Yeah if I was framing a house I would be doing the sheathing on the walls before roof went on but because it’s strapped and no sheathing is going on just the steel

 

[Missouri Bound]

I'll just state the obvious.
It's easier to work inside a building after the roof is on.
But you can't put the roof on until the structure is square and solid enough to support the roof.

Lmfao the trusses are on everything is square and plumb strapped and steel is the next install usually people do steel on the roof first before doing the walls I’m just wondering can I do it the walls first and then the roof

Decades ago I roofed my small shop prior to installing the RB&B siding, never again! the roof was wobbly. IF you brace the walls it won't be as bad.

Yes...

 

[Akcabin]

Yes. And then drink whiskey

 

[JayT54]

Ok one reason I want to do walls first is I don’t want the roof to become a kite if we get a big windstorm,

 

[RJ123]

Do one wall at a time, take the braces off as you go around.

 

[JayT54]

Yeah that’s what I was figuring of doing one wall at a time and as I get to the braces remove them and then once that’s done I can do the roof

Since your metal siding offers little structurally, ^^ there's your answer why walls first.

 

[JayT54]

Walls first it is then lol just curious why I see so many people do roof first

A roof with open sides is roughly shaped like an airplane wing.
