Just to give you a decent idea of what im seeking advice on this is a rough paint edit red represent the wood i want to fasten somehow to the metal. And the blue representing the long timber i want to store on top. (the red should be under the blue btw as the blue wood lengths i want to store ontop of the red wood beams that attach to the metal)As this is above where my car is parked, i would prefer to over-engineer this and want to be really safe that what i install can hold 100-200kg preferably more.the roof Here is a pic without the paint edit, the metal beam i believe is around 50x100mmthe wood beams im thinking of using these are about 2m and 20mm thick maybe.the type of wood i want to store on it just long pieces.I have been leaning towards using a metal bracket to bolt wood to the metal, something like this perhaps, but iam also keen on the idea of using some fasteners instead, that would go through both the wood and metal making a thread and securing itself, just because im lazy and it sounds easy. But im worried it wont hold a lot of weight long term.I will put a lot more than 2 wood beams for support btw, in the drawing i show 2 in red, i intend to install more like 6 to 8, so i can store some smaller panels up there as well.Any help very appreciated!! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2q1llvi
