"The fixings will be specified by the chair provider. The main things to consider is if the beam/joist you are fixing it to can take the additional weight.

If the weight is too high then you would need to reinforce the beam by trimming it, the same as you would around a staircase or Velux window."

You must find a roof joist to hang it from and that roof joist may need strengthened also.
