Crowing
I'm getting ready to cut corrugated steel roofing for my small coop. Here is an edited picture from the seller of the plans I'm using as my guide.
The coop is a shade bigger than the plans called for, and I'll be making the roof a bit bigger to which will be one way I'll be adding additional ventilation. The roof will be in the range of 5'x5'. I'm expecting to use 3 of these 24" panels:

I'll be adding an overhang on the high side and a ridge-cap on the top. The ridge cap is something like this:

1) Under the roof: I'll have plywood. Do I need any sort of felt/wrap between that and the steel? I painted the floor with Black Jack 57. I've read some threads where others used that on the roof ... perhaps a coat of that would be sufficient?
2) What overhang should I leave on the A & B sides?
3) What stops water from blowing up the roof and under the ridge cap in high-wind rains? Perhaps that's what the closure strips do ... but while both Home Dept and Lowed have the steel panels in stock, neither appears to sell any closure strip that fits them? Plus, they look more in line to stop bugs than water.
Thanks!
