Hi
Just wondering, I'm put tin on my roof and im putting purlins on right now, and i wondering if my screws are long Enif to hold down the purlins?The screw length is 3 1/8 inches long that I'm using to go through a 1by4 then 1 layer of asphalt shingles then a layer of wood shingles then tongue and grove underlayment a 3/4 inch thick then rafters. Do you think i need longer screws to screw down the purlins, maybe 4 inch constructions screws I only go into that rafter about a 1/4 inch.The screws to use in the tin are 2 1/2 inches long. Any ideas
