What kind of hose set up do you use? We do too, during the hot months, but now
you have me thinking about a rooftop drip irrigation system!

is our best friend, next are foam pads like a twin mattress size, these grip
well. We’ve used cardboard over the ridge to protect it from ropes if our
lifelines go over it. On the steeper pitches we use walk boards made from
ripping 5/8” or ¾” plywood into 12” x 8’ strips and nailing/screwing a 2x6 or
2x10 to one edge, depending on the pitch. Then we drill (3) 1” holes to run
webbing through and tie them off to our standoffs. These work well, we’ve also
laid 2x4’s above the lower row of standoffs allowing us to walk on them. Chris

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Protecting Asphalt Shingled Roofs Hi James, Great
topic! Minimizing roof wear and tear during installation is a big deal. We have
Yellow Spaghetti mat
(http://www.bestmaterials.com/PDF_Files/yellow-spaghetti-datasheet.pdf) and
carpet scraps. Each has pros and cons. Spaghetti mat is durable and we use it
over and over. It does get slippery when wet and doesn’t have good enough grip
over ~ 26-30 degree pitched roofs. Carpet actually performs better when wet but
it gets heavy and messy. We can also use carpet on steeper roofs where we
actually tie it off to our anchors by making a hole in the top of the carpet
piece and tying a rope to it. It takes a lot of perseverance to get crews to
consistently protect the roof to the level that is required to minimize damage.
It has to be part of every installation plan just like fall protection. On hot
days we try to get on the roof as early as possible and off the roof by the
time the roof gets warm and soft. One of my colleagues mentioned that they
would spray a roof down with a garden hose to cool it off on hot days, I
haven’t personally tried that. AugustLuminalt From: RE-wrenches

We have used carpet scraps, they stick well and cheap, we get them from a local
installer

roofs with any success? Mahalo in advance,
