Mine are screwed down with bolts that have a drill on the end, and a built in sealing washer
Dunno what they are called
I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.

Tek screw.
They come in a huge range depending on the use. Make sure you get the right type for the perlin/truss thickness your drilling into. Stichers and for a
few mm thick will have a course thread directly behind the drill end. For thicker approx 3mm and up have a fine thread.

do the screw/ bolts go right though the sheets ? i thought they may be fixed on the edge before the next sheet is fitted

The tech screws usually have a rubber washer under the head to seal the hole
Dutch bears have terrible skin due to their clogged paws

my friend Dave Chambers has a crab factory built with these screws here

The whole outer skin of the building is held on with screws that go through the metal skins with insulation in the middle and drill themselves into
the frame with a washer to seal the outside. I think I still have a screw if you need a photo of it

Steel sheeting over the fg. Steel is easy to install, pretty much maintenance free and depending on the finish gauranteed for 25+ years.
I've got the sheeting on my house roof but tile effect. As said before look on the kingspan website for a fitting guide.
