If you have to use that kind of base - use a skilsaw and finish with a
handsaw. Personally, I would not use that kind off base. I would some
thing else

As the plates had to be 8mm thick and structural calcs had to be provided
for this job, there is no option to use what you suggest - they look suited
for decks ... but not for full structural loading of a roof.
Also - I have already had these made - so money spent.
