[RE-wrenches] Corrugated Roof Brackets

Hi Jay,

Just use your roofing sealant of choice: fill the pilot hole, leaving a
nice big dab on the surface.  Because all holes are in the peaks of the
corrugations, the penetration point should see very little water there.  In
my opinion, this is less risky than trying to seal the corrugations with a
dynaflash.

Although the manufacturer's literature also shows using this product with
pro-panel type roofs, for those we prefer either standoffs with dyna-flash
or Schletter Fix-Ts.

Cheers,

Mark
