** slanted I-beams 4 inches wide
-
** sloped I-beams, flange 4 inches wide
+
** horizontal I-beams approx 7-8 inches wide
-
*** '''need to determine flange thickness'''

* requirements yet to be defined
-
*** exterior roof has 12 degrees slope; interior ceiling has 2 angles: the edges are greater, the center less (where we will be working)

== Requirements ==
 
-
* adjustable from 4 to 8 inches
 
-
* placeable on sloping I-beam up to 12 degree slope
 
-
** non-rolling
