Another thought with the felt paper, is that it, being a vapor barrier, it may reduce the possibility of metal sweat (condensation) problems that are associated with metal buildings/sheeting.

The Metal building folks, and Home Depot, sell a screw with a rubber seal on the head. For wood purlins, it is pointed (no metal puncturing drill bit on the end) and drives with a 1/4 " bit. Some of these are painted, some galvanized, and they are made of high tensile strength material which would resist a chemical attack, much better than soft steel that hammer driven fastners are made from.

Good luck and hope you the best. Hope those "girls" lined up across the Atlantic to E. Coast of Africa leave you alone.
