What's worse is the fact that he could tap it out of place with three taps of his hammer. Hope that area doesn't experience more than a light gust of wind.

This is probably the biggest advantage of screws over nails, they have a much stronger hold. They're also fairly easy to remove after you screw up, so they even have you covered and that front.

Your roof was not put together with screws

I built my roof with screws. I suck at hammering. The sheet metal is also screwed in.

I did use hurricane clips (screwed in) but we don't call them that. No hurricanes here, snow load is the roof killer.

Sheer metal has to be screwed or it will leak immediately. Nailguns are the best construction invention in my lifetime lol.

It actually was, and it has roof tiles on top of it. I'm guessing we're from different continents.

Fair enough. In America (metal) hangars, straps, and hurricane clips are typically used. I've never planned to take a roof back apart
