Most will have a larger base, lots of holes for screws to attach that do not require rafters underneath to attach.

One thought I had was to use the PLP Easy Mounting Foot and I'd be glad for any opinions on that or another solution.  -Matt -- Matt Sherald PIMBY Energy, LLC 304-704-5943 _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
