I bought vinyl siding for me steel building that has existing metal siding. I’m wondering if I need vapor barrier between the two sidings. I also want to know that type of screw to use.

      you would have to use firring strips around the whole building, using sheet metal screws. fasten them vertically every 16″ o.c.
      then use galvanized roofing tacks to hang the siding…
