Question about barrel tile roofs
Permalink  
 


If you straddle a ladder across the tile and stand on the ladder will it still be possible to break them? I weigh a lot 260lbs

Sorry for the stupid question southern guy's, but we don't have many tile roofs in Jersey!

 Not a stupid question.  First go on a diet. lol  You will live longer.

"Straddle a ladder across the tile" I assume that you are using a standoff.  Make sure the standoff goes in the valley of the tile.  If it rests on the crown it can break it.  You will not get me on a ladder on a 2 story tile roof without a standoff.  Too slippery.  Good luck!

 Marcus even though pretty much all my weight will be on the ladder, the ladder will be set something like a 60 degree angle

 Are you using a standoff stabilizer on the ladder?  If so the standoff should rest in the valley of the tile in its center and should not break the tile.  Why a 60 degree angle?  Is this a one story?

I think Clyde's going to ride it along the roof, like a hook ladder.
