Fastener failure
Fastener failure
(OP)
I have metal siding on a commercial building coming off in moderate winds. The proper self-tapping screws were used according to the manufacturer to fasten to the underlying metal studs. The manufacturer did not specify how many fasteners per panel or per foot etc. needed to be installed to correctly hold the panels in place. Is there anywhere that this information can be found?

Hope this helps in anyway.

If tap drill hole size is already correct per the above description, consider decreasing the fastener spacing to approximately one half or one third the current spacing. This should double or triple the panel connection strength. Good luck.
