[RE-wrenches] Need direct-to-decking mounting foot recommendation

[Greg McPheeters]

Greg here from SnapNrack - we don't provide any specific support for using SnapNrack rails with the EZ-Foot product but if I were using it, it looks like the leveling slot would mate up to the rails ok.  I'd use our MLPE Mounting Kits with the thick washers to ensure you don't crush the sheetmetal of the EZ-Foot into the rail channel.  Or, if you can get the new Ultra Rail, it probably bolts right up to it and you wouldn't need those washers, although I'd still use them to stiffen up up the attachment.
We've done a ton of testing of deck mounting in recent years, it's a funky space.  You should definitely plan to shorten up your spans/use more mounts than you would if you were hitting rafters -

- I am researching if we could integrate the EZ-foot with the Snap-N-Rack, 

William,
For metal roof scenarios where rafter finding isn't an option we use EZ Feet and then attach SnapNrack rails to them.  It's a very good solution just be sure to note how much of the vertical portion of the EZ Foot interfaces with the rail.  You can't pull the rail up to the top of the foot completely.  This is hard to explain but easy to see once installing.
