hello, I am building my tiny house with a metal roof. I wanted to know if there is a proper way to layer the metal panels to lower the chances of them catching air and coming off going down the highway? I was informed that metal sheets should be installed so that the sheets overlap where the seal is towards the back, so that air cannot enter. Does anyone have any experience with this? I need to make sure it is correct before I move it for the 1st time. Thank you

The way you layer panels will be set by the type of panel. There are quite a number of styles.
The cheapest job, long term, is the one done right the first time.
