I nailed stepping cleats to it and a one foot lip at the top. I slid it up the roof on it's smooth side and flipped it over so the lip was over the peak.
I could then easily walk up to the work area and didn't have to hang onto anything. |
When I replaced two out of three roof surfaces with steel, I did the same thing. I left the device on the porch roof to give me access to the main roof which gets me to the solar panels ( for snow removal) and the chimney ( for cleaning). Then I constructed a platform with railing to make life easier when I am cleaning the chimney.
Stay safe up there!
