ASCE 7-05/10 Monoslope Free Roof Question

[Hammer335i]

Friends,

I work for a firm that designs canopies and solar structures and we exclusively use ASCE 7 to design them as monoslope free roofs (Fig 6-18A in 7-05 and 27-4-4 in 7-10) . This works great for tilt angles ranging from 0 to 45 degrees, but I have a client that wants us to design a solar structure to 70 degrees. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about designing this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Perhaps more like a sign structure in ASCE 7?
