The Ford Barn

Next project on my '30 fordor is replacing the roof material. There seems to be a lot of differing opinions on what materials to use and where they go.
My questions are:
Should there be a fabric layer between the ribs and the chicken wire? If so, what fabric?
Should there be a fabric layer between the chicken wire and the padding? If so, what farbric?
What is the best sealant to use around the edges of the vinyl and on tack heads?
I understand there is a good video covering this install on "abarnyard" but cannot seem to access it. Suggestions on how to access OR on another video option?

Input appreciated.
