[RE-wrenches] Metal Roof Attachment

[jay peltz]

HI Jason,

I would use the direct power and water version.

I've used both and I don't like the Snapnrack. While its tall enough its not long enough for my taste.  Like a foot thats too short, its hard to anchor without tiping.

Also I would advise some sort of caulk or soft sealing spacer between the top of the rib and the base of the roof bracket for water sealing.
