[RE-wrenches] Metal roof/self taping screws

[Jeremy Rodriguez]

We’ve had good luck with thread cutting screws. Found some 3/8“ diameter that worked good with the LFeet and butyl tape. Need to pre drill the perlin.

What do people recommend for a metal roof ( with flat sections, not corrugated)on 3/16” thick x 2” wide C channel for attaching L feet

Self taping fasteners would be the easiest. Doing a nut and bolt would be possible but quite time consuming.
A machine self taping bolt and then adding a nut would be a lot easier than nut and bolt.

But that is my question. Is a self taping screw enough or does it need to be bolted?
