Each arm includes an outwardly extending flange. Each flange includes at least a single barb extending upwardly for securing the clip to the wooden strip. The barbs are punched out of the flanges and extend into the bottom of the wooden strip to secure the clips to the wooden strip. The bottoms of the clips are flat to be disposed on the roof, with the arms supporting the wooden strip off the roof.
