Curb Appeal Roof Cleaning Report post Posted September 6, 2017 I just came across a fall protection device and system that I am excited to learn more about.I should have additional info to share some time tomorrow, but basically, the system installs into a receiver hitch, and is non-invasive to the customer roof.Wouldn't this be an awesome alternate if all is as it seems?!I will update more as info becomes available to me. 2 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clean Exterior Report post Posted September 7, 2017 Looks like a great option. I already do something similar with my hitch (removed the ball and use the hole for my carabiner) but to have a device designed for it would be great. 1 Curb Appeal Roof Cleaning reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetBlueRacer Report post Posted September 9, 2017 I am a big fan of roof walking even though I have yet to clean any roofs... I walk roofs from all of the homes we had built... It seems like a quicker solution to jump on the roof and how they say in the South... Get er' done !!! I have pretty much all of my gear in my garage thanks to this forum and Lori from Pressure Washer Products... 5 stars to PWP... !!! Going to start mounting everything up here shortly... probably going to miss the season but not to worried about it... I do have interests in locking down as in where I live roof pitches are 8:12 and steeper with angled properties... Falling off not a good option and point I am trying to make is not moving the ladder 9000 times... What is the best way to stay safe on the roof without anchoring down to the roof trusses / rafters... ??? Not to sure about dropping a 3 - 4 foot pipe of any kind down a PVC plumbing vent... If your a big boy and lean into that bad boy there is going to be 2 snaps.... that PVC pipe and you hitting the ground / roof / hanging mid way between roof and ground.... think about it... your weight depends on a PVC pipe.... Not sold on that idea... NOPE... !!! Please note where I live in Morrisville, NC is mostly asphalt shingles... I guess really the best way is to mount up onto the roof ??? Your thoughts Gents / Gals... 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Advantage Roof Cleaning Report post Posted September 19, 2017 The hitch option MIGHT be OK if you park directly in front of the house and are walking only on the back side. I doubt if the customer will allow you to park in the back yard to walk on the front side of the roof. Also I wonder if it is OSHA approved. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Few customers here in Tampa will allow you to park on their grass, especially if they have sprinklers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
