Abstract
The system and method of securing a single ply membrane to a roof deck or structure described utilizes sections of cable or reinforced membrane material that are completely protected or surrounded by the single ply membrane. A set of perimeter cables or interior cables secure the membrane to a roof decking by stretching the cables or reinforced membrane sections until taut. The cables are secured at their endpoints and additional fasteners may be provided along their lengths. Membrane material is used to weatherproof the fastening of the cables to the roof decking.
