You have some nice looking buildings and a nice neat looking acreage. The first steel roof on this farm was put on in 1958. Now we have 7 steel roofs including the house and we have never lost a sheet or had one flapping in the wind and we do have plenty of wind in Iowa. Installation is everything. I screw down all new steel replacement roofs onto 2X4 nailers fastened down with #60 ring shanks into the rafters.

In Kansas one summer I watched sheets that had been nailed into the sheeting below, peel off in a strong wind. It was awesome and scary.
