Getting onto second level of roof.

The sections must overlap at least 3 feet on ladders up to 36 feet in length and as much as 5 feet on longer ladders. Ways to work on a steeply pitched roof. However you may soon find that the toughest part of the entire job is getting the heavy material up to the roof in the first place something that can be solved in a number of ways. Hand carrying obviously the cheapest but also the most physically taxing method is simply carrying the roofing materials by hand onto the roof.

The ladder should be at the correct angle with the base 1 foot out from the surface it rests against for every 4 feet of height to that point. The possibility of slipping and falling makes working on any roof dangerous but it s especially so if the roof rises more than 4 feet for every 12 feet of. And if you enjoyed.

In this first picture one can see. It is very common for dormers and other roof structures that have gutters above the level of the gutters on lower portions of the roof to empty onto the roof surface.
