For sheet metal siding, nails or screws go on the
flats. Try this put a wire around a nail and drive
it all the way into a board as if it was siding
nailed on the flats then pull on the wire. Can't
move it can you ? Drive one in but leave it out an
inch as if it was on the ridges. Put a wire on
it at the head and pull, probrobly bends or tears
out. METAL ON SIDEWALLS NAILS GO ON THE FLATS,but
you probrobly will need a few on the lap joints to
hold it tite. On the roof Nails go on the
ridges, screws go on the flats .Screws not carefully applied to ridges will distort the
the metal. Nails , less likely to leak on the
ridges.
