    6" Fiberglass Insulation Under 26 Gauge Metal

    One thing I learned.... When I built my shop, I use 3" insulation. My brothe came to help the very first roof panel we put up, he drove the screw right through the panel. The insulation does "pad" the roof panel to perlin to some extent. I would think 6" would add to this "pad". I was not having...
