#10 Metal Roofing Screws 3 in Galvanized Hex Head - Durable Fastening

In this review of the #10 Metal ROOFING SCREWS from Jake Sales, the bottom line is simple: these screws are for anyone fastening metal roofing to wood who needs a reliable, coated fastener that holds tightly and resists corrosion. The reviewer found the screws perform well for standard metal-to-wood applications thanks to a sharp T17 point and a 1/2 in EPDM washer that seals under the painted hex head. Practical installers and DIYers will appreciate the consistent length and finish when matching common metal roof profiles.

Key Features

• 1/4 in Hex Head: Provides a common drive size that fits most standard hex drivers for fast, confident installation.
• 1/2 in EPDM Washer: Creates a durable seal against water intrusion for long-term performance on wood substrates.
• 3 in Length under head: The 3 in shaft length offers secure penetration into wood framing while preserving panel integrity.
• T17 Sharp Point: The self-starting point drives cleanly through metal roofing and bites into wood without pre-drilling in most cases.
• Galvanized Finish with Painted Head: Galvanization gives corrosion resistance while the painted head helps the fastener blend with many metal roof colors.
• Pack Quantity: Comes as a 250-count pack suitable for small to medium roofing runs and repair jobs.

Who It's For

These screws suit professional roofers, contractors, and experienced DIYers installing metal roofing panels onto wood purlins or decking where a sealed fastener is required. The combination of a hex head and EPDM washer makes them practical for both new installs and repairs on common metal roof profiles like corrugated sheets or similar panels.

Homeowners with very specialized roofing materials or who require exact color matching across an entire roof should be aware that painted head color may vary slightly. Customers needing stainless steel or a different corrosion system for marine or extremely coastal environments should consider alternative fasteners.

Pros & Cons
