<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri','sans-serif';COLOR:#1f497d;FONT-SIZE:11pt">We’ve
occasionally installed onto steel trusses with either self drilling screws (no
pilot required) or thread forming screws (pilot hole required). See attached
sample spec sheets. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri','sans-serif';COLOR:#1f497d;FONT-SIZE:11pt">I
suppose you could install a standard tile hook type product with the types of
fasters I listed above. Or, hire a roofer to waterproof your stanchions and
reinstall the removed tiles. More and more, we are moving towards the latter
because we’ve bumped into issues with degrading underlayment (felt paper)
under tile roofs. </span></p>

out there have any experience attaching arrays (from the topside) to roofs
with steel trusses under plywood decking? We’ve got a new project that has
steel trusses and we would prefer to not have to spend time in the attic
bolting through (it was 113 degrees here today)… Is there a fastening
system out there that anyone has experience with?</span></p></div>
