[RE-wrenches] roof attachment in tile roof

[benn kilburn]

Peter, 
Do you have a link to the tile track you referred to.  Is it the one spelled
Tile "Trac" found at this link >> TileTrac
<http://www.prosolar.com/old_sitepages/tile_trac_index.htm>
This is nice as it has the flexibility to locate the bolt at the top of the
tile when the rafter doesn't line up. But it relies on the bolt going thru
the tile at the high point (and some sealant) for keeping water out?

All the hooks I have tried caused the tile to “pop up” and to avoid this one
has to notch the tile. More trouble than it is worth IMHO. Tile track works
well and doesn’t need flashing.

William, Jason;

I appreciate the suggestion, it sounds like an ideal solution.

 I do wonder why you prefer posts when you could use the tile hooks and
avoid the extra work and time of cutting and flashing? If it makes for a
better attachment structurally and weather-proof wise, then I'm all for it.

Could you make a few points for/against tile hooks vs flashed posts?


Thanks.
