Help! Curroted metal roofing sheet blew off during transfer

Even that "YES" looks a bit shallow.

"Guilty"

But I wasn't going to redraw it.

and for the record, I really appreciate @aart (among others) for keeping me honest.

The general estimating rule of thumb is 80 screws per square. Because hen houses are so small, relatively speaking, they tend to require more screws, because there is more "edge" relative to center/overlapped spaces. My experience has been closer to 100 screws/square or one per square foot.

and 1 1/4" screws likely don't have full depth of penetration to develop full holding strength - you generally want 3 full threads to penetrate the underside of your purlin to ensure you have maximal hold.

For travel, if they've already been peeled off, set them on the floor, put 2x4s on top to protect the ridges (if they are 5v style panels - I've not tried to protect wave panels in this fashion, I don't like them), set the coop on top and strap it all down. Drive whatever speed you want.

Now that I think about. Mine do as in your illustration, got to watch your head.. roofing never came off, chickens don't fly that high in the roost hopefully.. You don't want to poke them, they leak.
