Look again. There are fasteners for metal purlins. One is the JT3-SB-8.0 with FZD sealing washer and the other is the JT3-SB-8.0 with storm washer.

But they are $5 each Not rated for L feet Have 4 holes vs 1 hole There is no underlayment as it’s a barn Using polybutylene tape and or caulk, it’s a pretty solid way to keep water out and with the self tapping bolts is more secure to me ( thanks Allan). The parts that William suggested are designed for metal roof over wood substructure, not applicable in this case. I’ll just look for the right self driving lag bolt Jay On Oct 17, 2020, at 1:53 PM, Jerry Shafer <[email protected]> wrote: Why puncture the metal can't S-5 be used.

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?
