[RE-wrenches] Slate roof attachment?

[Drake]

We did a slate roof project. We got the equipment 
from Quickmount. The system involved a standoff 
bolted to the purlins with an oversized flashing. 
Three slates needed to be removed for each 
attachment, and a hole cut in the slate for the 
standoff. The system works well, but was expensive and slow to install.

Don't use any system that requires compressing 
the slate. Such an approach had originally been 
recommended, but our roofer agreed that it was a 
very bad method. You will need a slate roof guy 
to remove and replace the slates, and repair any damage that occurs.
