[RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

[Dave Tedeyan]

Hi Matt,
I've used these in the past when on a comp roof and there was no good way
to get into the rafters (or TJI's in this case)

You might want to replace the screws with something shorter and beefier
though to get more grip if you are only going into 1/2" plywood.

Cheers,
Dave
