Hi Midwest best. This is how I mounted mine. Crude drawing, but you can get the idea. The item mounted to the container does not contain the panels or rails in this picture. Just the mount that the Iron ridge rails attached to horizontally.
The thinner plates mounted to the container are 1/4 to 3/8 aluminum, and the rest is all aluminum square tube with the nice plastic insert ends to cap them off. We made the mounting plates wide enough to catch two ribs since the ribs on the roof and sides don't line up. I mounted 3 of these, about 7ft apart each, then the iron ridge rails, then the panels.
