butler building roof details? [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Geoff:

We are using 1/4" tek screws to secure DPW Power Posts to the purlins.  We 
then seal with a round rubber boot jack.  This is the type with a malleable 
metal ring around the perimeter.  It can be formed to fit over the raised 
ridges of the roofing panels.

See:   http://mpandc.com/practices/Procedures/metal_roofs.html  for details.
