Well, the highest winds I have personally witnessed in Montana is 127 MPH..... Just an FYI! We don't call them hurricanes, we just say...."it's quite windy today." Best, Chris Daum Oasis Montana Inc. 406-777-4309 406-777-0830 fax <http://www.oasismontana.com> www.oasismontana.com

We generally need to hit structural members in Southwest Florida. We have used Ecofasten bases on flat roofs with metal decking, but wind uplift is still an issue in most cases.

They are made to tech-screw right into the decking without having to hit the truss. Come pre-made with EPDM. Just snap a line, set and screw. Obviously you will need to do some math to make sure your decking material is substantial as well as anchored well to the blue board. I have not used them yet, but will be putting up 20kW next month and will report back. That being said, anybody else have experience to report with them?
