Metal Building Screw Suggestions

[cjbarnwell]

For a metal building, what type of screws are recommended for mounting to the 2" ribs? I would like to mount an electrical panel, TV and other items via unistrut.

Thanks

Others will chime in about mounting to the sheet metal.. but inside i had unistrut down to the floor to support weight and on the upper end with pass through bolts i had some unistrut outside to allow me to use bolts binding the inside/outside unistrut instead of sheet metal screws. Later that technique was reversed for an outside solar cutoff panel needed.

None.

Mounting to the ribs won't be structural.

Apologies I may have misspoke, I was wanting to mount unistut to the ribs of the building, not the sheet metal.

I'd suggest Teks self drilling screws and fender washers, maybe a #14 x 1" with a 1/4" x 1-1/4" fender washer.
