Recently, a customer had a metal roof (not standing seam) installed by a<br>
"handyman". Pretty clean installation however for some reason he ran<br>
1X6 stringers across the roof on the 1/2" plywood deck spaced about<br>
every 4 feet (as you go from ridge to eaves). Of course the roofing<br>
screws are at the stringers. I'm sure he had a /great/ reason for doing<br>
so. So now I have been asked to install an array on this roof. You can<br>
feel how "soft" the roof is as you walk on it of course because you are<br>
walking on air-below-metal for most of the roof. Stringer locations<br>
don't jive with possible feet/post locations for rail. I'm usually<br>
pretty good at problem solving but I'm accepting ideas.<br>
