The best thing you can do is to consult with the manufacturer of that panel system and see what the installation requirements call for in terms of screw placement in overlap situations. Whether is looks "right" is of little consequence as compared to the manufacturer's correctness requirements. They would be the first and best place to start. Eric Novotny

Eric, I agree that the screw sequence / location should be confirmed with the manufacturer. The Panel arrangement looks incorrect to me. The overlap panel rib near the bottom of the photo appears to be unsymmetrical, containing an anti-siphon groove. This should be underneath, the concealed sidelap rib. The lower panel rib appears to be symmetric. This should be on top, the exposed sidelap rib. Regards, David David Stermer

David, That looks correct to me as well. Serves me right for looking at it on my phone. Eric Eric Novotny
