Tip: #10 x 1-1/2" is the workhorse pole barn screw - 26- or 29-gauge corrugated or rib-panel steel into nominal 2-by wood purlins, sidewall girt screws on metal buildings, and standard metal roofing-to-truss attachment in residential and agricultural builds. Retail 1 lb box covers small repairs, single-panel replacements, and touch-up work. Drive heads flush so the neoprene washer compresses evenly against the panel - over-drive and the washer extrudes out (no seal); under-drive and the washer doesn't load (still no seal). For maximum corrosion service, match the Hillman gray-ceramic Tap N' Seal screw with painted or galvalume-finished panels rather than bare galvanized - the gray ceramic finish is engineered to color-match common roofing finishes from a distance.
