No, you didn't miss it...I forgot to mention all of it.

The headers, as I said before, are tied to the ridge beam.

However, I neglected to mention how the rest of it is strapped down to the roof...which is what I assume you are asking.

I have a cement tile roof, so screwing any anchors through the tiles to the sheathing (as would be done on a composite roof) is out of the question . So, Hot Sun Industries (Ken Wright's company) supplied anchors that are glued to the tiles.

The anchor is a piece of sheet metal to which a ring is riveted. Squirt some flashing adhesive out of a caulking gun on the back and place it on a roof tile in the desired location. When placing the anchor, for extra holding power I slipped the top edge of the sheet metal under the lip of the tile that overlapped the tile to which I was adhering the anchor.

So, you lay down an anchor every four feet in a line across the roof one foot above the bottom headers and another about in the middle of the panels. Then polymer-covered steel strapping in run through the rings and the ends clamped at the edges of the panels.

For a detailed assembly of the system with pics, you can d/l the Geon Powerstrip manual at www.powermat.com.

HTH,
