Nov 15, 2016For self tappers I've used #10 or #12 screws with a fender washer. 1/2 inch or less is all you really need. They only need to be long enough to get through the frame. A second person is really useful with getting the sags out. One person holds up sections while another screws.
The only sealant I use is Great Stuff foam on the edges and penetrations. I squirt a line of foam about an inch from edge of the underbelly then put all of the screws in place. Makes a nice seal. Works much easier if you have all your screws pre drilled in their locations beforehand.
