I have a lean-to that was originally covered with that cheap
translucent green corrugated fiberglass material. It's leaking pretty
bad. I've got friends who want to keep stuff in this lean-to and
they're volunteering to put up steel if I buy the materials.

Maybe its just me- but I'd say "You buy the materials and I'll put it
up." Roofing isn't a lot of fun, but I'd be damned if I'd buy as
roof for somebody else to mess up so they could put their stuff in my
shed.


My pole barn is probably 20 years old and has the steel fastened
through the ribs. Newer pole barns have the steel fastened through the
valleys.

How are the kids doing it these days, and which way is "right?"

Once you pick out the roof- ask for an installation flyer or visit the
manufacturer's website.
