The transformation of Everton Stadium’s roof has begun, with the installation of the iconic barrel cladding.
The first of the polished aluminium panels that will form the curved edges of the roof was secured in place this week in the north east corner.
In the coming months, a total of 872 individual panels – each one perforated to mitigate the effects of wind – will be hoisted skywards.
Aided by a specially adapted mechanical crane attachment, which is able to manipulate the flexible panels into various positions, these will then be carefully installed along the entire lengths of the east and west stands.
When complete, the space age roof will perfectly complement the 731 columns of red brick, Archibald-Leitch patterned brick facades, contrasting anodised black metal panels and reflective glass frontage, all of which tower into the north Liverpool skyline.

getting excited now. just hope we're not in the championship
Very interesting! I was actually really curious about how they were going to do the sides. Bramley Moore is going to be absolutely brilliant. Such a totally unique look to it
Amazing ,thanks Everton,but that is way too slow they will need to find a way to speed up
This is going to be the nicest stadium in the Championship!
Can't wait for the new stadium hope we're in the Premier for it COYB
That crane attachment rig looks quite clumsy and dangerous when used with cherry pickers! Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
When they were lifted off the back of the wagon they looked really big. But attached to the roof they look really small. No wonder they will need 872 of them.
Really cool! 👏👏👏
Sinbad from Brooky should be the 4th Grace.
Iconic look,unique match days.
Love that tag line: "Liverpool's 4th grace"
Bloody Awesome
Fiddly
Thats looking really good, I keep checking on progress every time I go past it. Hopefully I'll get to see my team, Watford, play there in the Premier in a couple of seasons.
HOW CAN WE FORGET THE GOOISON PARK

It will be the best stadium in the championship
Majestic. 💙👍
Progressing steadily and nicely!
Hope Everton's legal team can show in our appeal and in the second investigation that the interest payments to loans, although they were not named to solely finance this stadium, will not be added to our expenditures, as they now wrongly have, when proven that they have been used to construct our superb new stadium.
This will definitely be the best stadium in the championship 😂
You’re team is crap my dog could do better
Wow… the crane lifts the first piece up and it looked massive, once in place it looked like the size of a custard cream. Puts into context the size of the stadium. From a red here it’s very impressive 👋
This is going to be amazing. Absolutely gassed for the Everton fans to finally get a stadium that they will really be proud of.
Been following the stadium news since about 2006 when they were talking about partnering with Tesco and moving to kirby.
stunning
Going to look good in the championship!
Will be cold with those holes? Expected insulation / water-proof cladding
Mad how something so glorious could be the cause of our demise.
Fitting those panels will be a long painstaking process if that video is anything to go by. Times like this I feel lucky to work inside.
Its a must everton sighn quality players this window
Only one person to blame at everton football club and that's the owner moshiri, moshiri out
The toffees will be in liquidation by the time they get the second piece of cladding on
Simply outstanding.
Best ground in the Championship😂
Such a nice ground for the championship😅
The Cheetah Stadium.
Hey! (2:18) That's the very same technique that they use to attach plug doors to Boeing 737s!!
👍👍👍
