I’ve used them for residential solar past few years and they’re a must have. Perfect as a table for parts and power tools as well as a stairway to put in an anchor. All solar companies should provide these to their installers

@dankeith6756 2 жыл бұрын

Been roofing for 40 years and I think it looks great. I'd like to try it. I wouldn't use it on a 26/12 but it should be great for 10/12 and 12/12.

@itsnotme-jl9jt 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, that's a magic trick. The telestep ladder you use. Can't find them anymore but they had adjustable feet with 6 inch diameter footing. Gripped very well on 4/12 asphalt.

Thank you so much for putting this demonstration up. I just came across an ad for this product this morning and I'm bidding an 18/12 roof so anything that can help make the process safer and easier on the crew will help. Now I want to make boots out of this stuff XD

Then I can set my roof brackets and plank under the skylight to do the project. Real game changer for certain. Worth the money!

⁠⁠@@robertheagy925 I can’t say for sure but my theory is that it would not work well on a composite or wood roof. I think it needs the asphalt granule base to make the foam stick and not slip. Just my opinion having worked on just a few composite and wood roofs

Amazing! Back in my day we had no pitch hoppers. We had to make do with 2x’s and my grand dads Stanley roof brackets with the coveted sweet hart label. No fall protection either. Wouldn’t use the hopper without a continuous bottom roof stage. Beats sitting on a bundle so the roof doesn’t burn your butt.

A 12/12 is not vertical. If a 6/12 is a 6" rise for 12" horizontal, then a 12/12 would be a 12" rise for 12" horizontal. Draw a line connecting the two points of a 12/12 would be a 45° angle.

This product will damage your shingles, new or old, that's a fact. Unless it's a cool cloudy day the hot shingles will smear, old shingles will tear. Neat product but the pros won't use it. Jack and planks have done the job for over 100 years and when installed properly will not damage shingles, much larger working space and safer. Good money grab idea though, lots of green horns will buy this
