We just completed a job with Eco-65's. It took about 12 man-days to install 200 of the base plates and L-Feet on a flat roof with wood blocks on a metal deck with about 3" total from the rolled roof surface to the metal deck. We custom-cut patches to go over the metal flashing supplied with the base plate. <div>
<br></div><div>Email me privately if you would like some pictures.</div><div><br></div><div>The materials are not cheap, but the installation was quite smooth and did not require getting into the drop-ceiling or displacing office workers below. We used 6" OMG extra heavy duty fasteners (part no. XHD006B).</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Have you looked at EcoFastens Eco-65 plate? We used them on a roof similar to what you’ve got and went right into the 2x6 so we didn’t have to go into the structural members.
They’ve got a flashing that will work with asphalt roofs.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
