Thanks.


On mine I used one inch stainless steel sheet metal screws. Probably #8 but I don’t actually remember. I expect 3/4 inch would be fine. My roof (SOB) is only about 1/4 - 3/8 inch thick and the rafters I fastened into are stamped aluminum so added almost no thickness. But the ceiling has a good two inches of insulation so there was no particular risk associated with using longer .
