Woods question - again :)

[MiaS]

Purlins would run perpendicular on top of run rafters, metal roof attached to purlins.
Not sure about fascia on run...could add it later for 'looks' and/or to support edge or run roofing metal overhang.

Yes exactly as you've indicated. The line is a bit wonky right now as the front wall is sitting about an inch too low so we need to jack it up just a tad to have it match the roof line. See how I could have left off the fascia and side trim and exposed the rafters on the coop? I maybe should have...or as you say I could add the fascia if it continues to look weird.
Color should help too as the coop itself is just the primer color.

My manufacturer instructs to run the screws beside the ridges and does not supply stitch screws for the ridge tops. They do however suggest sealant along the seams at a certain pitch so we will go back and do that (I'm still waiting on gable ends and some closures but wanted to at least get my sheathing seams covered in case it rains.

I don't mind the criticism

You made me question myself so I went to Ideal Roofing an actual manufacturer (NOT a distributor!).

They deal with two questions - high wind areas and the how to for different profiles. The attached tells the tales.

Unfortunately Formasteel does not have as detailed information, though I did call them with a few questions. This was their version for my profile - not nearly as detailed. I have tons of screws so I can certainly add more, and probably should due to our winds. Everything is just tacked up there right now while I wait for gable ends, outer foam enclosures and peak caps so we are going to have to back out some screws to loosen up the edges for all of that to be installed. We can add the additional screws then. Learning curves...

I'd better like this chicken keeping thing or this has been an awful lot of work for a not very practical shaped shed, or dog run, or something LOL. My 6'3" husband has banged his head about a hundred times now

@MiaS

The instructions I sent show screws being used between ridges on some profile types so I was not correct about that.

Not sure about your area but I was born is Saskatchewan and lived in Edmonton for a time. I recall high winds so I would be concerned about ridge stitching along the panel overlaps. Around here one often sees older barns where the metal roof has folded back and exposed the structure underneath. Above all one wants to avoid water intrusion.

Yes building a serious coop/run is a major project! I too hope I like the chicken experience once I get there LOL.

We are in DeWinton, just a few km South of Calgary - windy...I am most worried about the giant kite I'm building with my run. It does slope downward to the prevailing wind and is surrounded by spruce and a lilac hedge but it is still basically just a big sloped kite. Frankly I'll be a bit amazed if it works over time.

The open sides should allow the winds to vent so you may be surprised.

You could increase the number of purloins to 16" OC and therefore increase the number of screws as well (in for a nickel, in for a dime!).

Is jacking up the wall going to be easy, and solid....
.....might be better to add spacers under the purlins(unless it's just the front that's too low).
Field Design Hang in there!

Its only just that one end that is coming in too low. I think we can do it as long as we do it before we add a bunch of weight to it though I did consider just positioning the rafters on that end up a bit in the hurricane ties and tapering down to the left end. Will try the jacking first as I think it is doable.

I've received the shed windows that I purchased ...

Where did you buy the shed windows from?
I am trying to decide wether to build or buy. I am laying out a 6x10 Woods Open-Air tractor. I might be able to build cheaper than buying. Shed windows are not easy to find on-line

Think @MiaS is still around.
