Roofing replacement needed?

Roofing replacement needed?

We have a 7 year old metal roof installed over top of shingles. The previous roof had several leaks hence the new roof installed by the sellers. We had someone come out and he went into the attic. He pointed out the roof and said the roof was leaking and keeping the wood wet. He showed me the cat eyes and said we would need a full roof replacement since water is leaking through. I haven't seen any mold or visible moisture issues. Do we really need to replace a 7 year old roof?

Chain link fence slats

I am needing to upgrade the privacy on my 4 ft chain link fence due to reactive neighbor dogs. Upgrading to a 6 ft privacy fence is out of the question unfortunately.

I have read quite a bit about privacy slats, but I am concerned about the added weight and wind load. I have about 110 ft of 4 ft tall chain link, posts spaced 10 ft apart in concrete, 11 gauge wire with 2 1/4 inch diamonds. I want maximum privacy but I don't want my fence to fail due to the added wind load. I am in a residential area with a lot of wind blocks, not an open field.

My main concern is if I add 90-95% privacy slats, will this cause my existing fence to fail?
