If I took a drive, the vast majority of the roofs will have the screws in the rib. That's the way it's done around here. What gives you the right to be such an arrogant a$$. I don't really give a crap if you've been at it for 30 years. I have both and everything screwed on the flat (previous owner) leaks. Certainly not all of them, but way worse than anything that's screwed on the rib(0 leaks). The OP said standard pole barn metal. To me that says Vic West Barnmaster 5 round-1/2" ribs. It does not dent the tin, and the washer does seat. I've just looked at 3 PDF files from Vic West, and NONE of them said how to screw the steel down. It did however call the ribs "nailing ribs" and later said to never use nails, only screws. It also showed alot more pictures of screws through the ribs. Let logic take over for a minute. If putting nails on the flat resulted in leaks, but putting them on the ribs all but eliminated leaks, does it not seem logical that screws would follow the same principle?
