We always use 2" woodtite screws about a inch from the rib, except on the lap..that got it in the lap. ...... We started twenty years ago putting a extra one behind the lap on the higher buildings. This was done because if the stitch screw comes loose, you have a back up screw. That is where the wind is going to grab it, so why take a chance.
Our idea caught on, and now we do every roof that way, as it takes only twenty five percent extra screws. We do not mess with different length screws while we are up on the roof.
The bottom of the roof gets one on each side of the rib, plus one in the rib. If they do not want to pay for the extra screws, they can hire someone else. Be careful on the bottom if you use over the roof eve spout hangers, so you do not put a screw where a hanger goes on the roof.
Our method is often called over kill by the Amish, and some competition. However no one has a problem calling me to quick fix a piece of steel that is flapping in the wind so it does not blow off. Money is not a big deal all of a sudden at this point it seems.
