As for the wind, I hope to never test my system with the 3-second gust of 170mph that my structural engineer's math indicates my system should survive. There are 204 5/16"x3" lag bolts attaching 102 creotecc tile hooks to my roof trusses. Every panel has 3 rails under it to survive the crazy wind loads we have to engineer to in South Florida.
Wow! I doubt my poles could survive that here! My roof panels have two rails, our wind load is 90mph though.
