  5. Maybe it’s needs a tad of movement to allow for a bit of twist could it creek thou ?
     
  6. There has to be some movement
    Yes the roof is fixed /screwed but not glued
    Then sealed at edges with sealant
    The aluminium roof sheet is not fixed or sealed to any rafters
    Only fixing maybe around skylights
    Which are sealed and screwed through
