<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We've thought about those 18" QuickMounts but
since there are often large gaps and splits in the shakes that there still would
be plenty of opportunity for wind and ice to drive moisture up to the point
where the lag screw is located, only a few inches above the lowest point of the
flashing. I trust the 12" QuickMounts for composition roofs because they
compress the shingle and help make a good seal around the penetration (with
added Geocell). With shakes it doesn't seem you can have the same sort of
confidence since the shakes are porous and subject to expanding, contracting,
splitting, swelling, etc.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Is it possible to
do a weather-tight install on a cedar (or other) shake roof in snow country
with wide temperature and moisture ranges? We usually use QuickMount or
SnapNRack flashed mounting points on composition roofs. I can't imagine a
really reliable way to go through cedar shakes and keep moisture out of the
penetration.</SPAN></P></DIV>
