#14 Metal Roofing Screws 1 in Ivy/Forest Green - Durable Roofing

In this review the #14 Metal Roofing Screws (250) in Ivy/Forest Green are judged as a straightforward, no-nonsense fastener pack for anyone fitting metal roofing to wood. The single biggest reason to buy is reliable fastening: the sharp T17 point and.242 in shaft make these screws quick to drive into wood substructure, while the galvanized body and EPDM washer deliver reassurance against weather. For contractors or DIYers replacing or installing corrugated metal roof panels, this pack offers an economical, matched-color option that focuses on function over frills.

Key Features

• Hex Head Size: The 5/16 in hex head gives a solid driving surface so sockets and drivers grip securely during fast installation.
• Washer Seal: The ~9/16 in EPDM washer helps create a reliable watertight seal around each fastener to reduce leaks at panel ridges and flats.
• Shaft and Point: The.242 in (#14) shaft combined with a sharp T17 point cuts into wood quickly, reducing driving effort and split risk.
• Length and Count: With 1 in length under the head and 250 screws per pack, this set covers multiple panels and trim details for small to medium jobs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized material resists rust and, together with the coated head, provides longer life in exposed roof environments.
• Color Matching: The polyurethane coated head is painted to closely match many metal roofing brands, helping the fasteners blend with panel colors.

Who It's For

This pack is aimed at residential and light commercial installers who fasten metal roofing to wood framing, such as homeowners reroofing a porch, contractors fitting sheds or pole barns, and builders working on small shops or lean-tos. The 1 in length is right for common corrugated panels to wood sheathing or rafters where a short fastener is preferred.

Those working with thicker substrate materials, metal-to-metal applications, or who need specialty lengths and head types should look elsewhere; this product is specific to #14, 1 in sheet metal to wood roofing work and does not claim suitability for heavy structural connections.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good driving performance thanks to the sharp T17 point and robust.242 in shaft.
• EPDM washer provides a practical seal that helps prevent water intrusion around the screw head.
• Galvanized finish and painted polyurethane head improve corrosion resistance and visual blending on green roofs.
• 250-count pack represents solid value for typical small to medium roofing projects.

Cons

• Color may vary slightly from roofing panels since heads are painted to closely match rather than guaranteed exact match.
• Length is fixed at 1 in, so additional sizes are needed for thicker substrates or metal-to-metal fastening.
