I've never done much roofing, and need some advice.
I'm having to replace the corrugated tin roof on my tractor shed and need to know the correct way to secure it. I was told to use either screws or nails with the rubber washers, and use them in the valleys of the corrugated tin. I had always thought they were supposed to go along the ridges for a good seal. He said that with the rubber washers, they will seal just fine in the valleys.
Using screws in the valleys of the corrugated tin would be the easiest way to do it. I just wonder if its commonly done that way.
What are the ways you all use to secure corrugated iron roofing?
Do you use screws or nails, and do you use the valleys or ridges?
I appreciate your suggestions.
