Default Containers on a flat roof?

The message
from "JennyC" contains these words:

The design requirement for a man load on flat roof joists will mean

it
can carry almost as many growbags as you require.

Loading is almost certainly not a factor in this case. If you want

me to
check then get the size of the flat roof joist, with the longest
distance between supports and I`ll do a quick calc to prove the

loading
for you. 8-)


What if there are no joists ?
My flat roof is made by flat concrete panels.........

Then I`m of no use whatsoever. I`m a timber engineer. Chances are tho
that the design requirements are the same. BS codes have that effect
now. If it`s old then I`d be very carefull.
