Default How to Cut Corrugated Metal Roofing?

a friend was helping me with the corrugated metal once.

we tried the backward saw blade and it worked just fine. but be careful-the
metal will flop around. have someone hold it if you can.

also, as someone suggested, use goggles and ear plugs.

Eduardo blew some of the 2' x 12' galvanized, corrugated steel roofing
material off of my barn, and I had to replace most of 2 sheets.

I didn't have any power on Saturday to cut it off, so I just nailed it
up and let it run long off the eave of the roof, but now I have to cut
it off flush with the rest of the roof.

Can anyone tell me what I should use to cut this stuff?

My brother (a contractor) says I should just put a plywood blade into
my circular saw backwards, wear safety goggles and earplugs, grit my
teeth and let 'er rip ... but somehow that sounds a little scary to me
on an 18' ladder.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe
