is to determine the design point load, at this point your local fastener

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi All.....I was wondering if anyone has experience attaching to the
purlin of a metal building using pop rivets thru the metal roof so as to not
have to run a bolt thru the roof and have someone on the inside of the building
at roof level......I have heard this type of attachment discussed but am
unclear as to the details or tools required.....any advice or direction that
you might share with me would be appreciated.....<br clear=all>
