[QUOTE="binky, post: 534584, member: 490"] well, that will sort things out, and give you a bit more timber to screw hooks to. Getting 2 screws into skinny rafters isn't ideal. 2 important points nt generally discussed on forums:- 1/ screws, you need something like 8x80 2 per hook. 2/ the arm of the roof hooks need to be at least 5mm off the roof tiles or slates - this can be easier said than done sometimes depending on the depth of the battens, but it is important to prevent the panels bouncing up an down in strong winds and breaking your slates or tiles. Only problem with changing layout plans is you tend to find you have the wrong numbers of mid and end clamps for the panels [/QUOTE]
