Fixing to corrugated panels
Discussion
Am planning to install a few exterior sodium lamps to our warehouse - it is a typical industrial unit, brick built up to top of door height, and the corrugated panels up to roof height.
Something like this (although this is not the building in question)
These kind of things.... http://www.screwfix.com/prods/76541/Lighting-Lamps...
What type of fixings would be best to use?
I realise that fitting a baton internally would be a decent option, but it could be tricky to do this.

Do you own the unit or rent it?
If you own it do what you like but if rented you may be liable for reinstatement at lease end which might mean replacing the sheet or sheets that you have drilled through. You might want to ask your landlord what his preferences would be and ca you leave it if you leave.

It is rented, but if and when we move out, the reinstatement work will be huge anyway (if we are forced to do it) as we have installed a wider roller shutter than originally there for a start!If you own it do what you like but if rented you may be liable for reinstatement at lease end which might mean replacing the sheet or sheets that you have drilled through.

The proposed lighting improvements are with Landlord's permission too - so I doubt he would ask us to remove them and replace the sheets - more likely they would be left in situ, so the next tenant can benefit.
That's ok as long as his writing says that you don't have to re-instate.
The tenants answer for a 'Dilapidations' claim against a tenant made at the end of a lease is 'There is no dimunition in value caused by my works f--h --f'
The surveyors and lawyers answer is 'How much fee is there in this then'

Mount the fittings on a Metal plate to spread the load. Use another plate inside and fix through with threaded rod + Nuts & washers.
Any attempt to fix directly to the panels themselves will eventually pull through.
