I wouldn’t recommend drilling through the roof for what you are proposing to do.
How many anchor points will you have? I’d suggest at least 9 and as many as 12. Use 3 or 4, evenly spaced, along the long dimension, 85”, on both edges and another run down the center. I’d also recommend using a toggle bolt, the 10/24 size may be sufficient, as opposed to an expanding plastic anchor. The trick will be that you’ll need to remove some styrofoam behind the hole to allow the anchor to expand. Something like 90* needle nose pliers might do the trick.
If you’d like some reassurance on this advice, take a piece of 1/8” plywood, drill the appropriate size hole for a 10/24, or other size toggle bolt, install the anchor and then try to pull it through the plywood.
