Roof Top Unit Connection to existing structure
Roof Top Unit Connection to existing structure
(OP)
How do you connect a roof top unit to the existing metal roof without having to add a platform on top of the roof. I know I acn reinforce th existing framing but how to detail the connection through the metal deck.

He lost more than 20 rooftop condensers to junkie metal thieves before ending up with a welded cage around the units that was bolted to the structure below the roof.
Even if you don't feel the cage is justified now, do your client a favor and try to detail your setup so that such a thing is relatively easy to implement in the future.
