Most shingle roofs we come across have a ridge cap, so we cannot put it
over the ridge. <br>
We used to use RS-10 permanent anchors. They are fairly easy to install,
but we often have arrays going near the peak of the roof, so once modules
go on, the anchor gets covered up. <br><span>
We just install the 3M ones on the opposite side of the roof, and then
patch the shingles when we are done.<br><br>
On a related note, does anyone have a good product to use on a
trapezoidal (agricultural) metal roof?<br>
Currently we tie ropes to large trees and/or structural members on the
opposite side of the roof.<br><br>

</span></dd><dd> <br><br>

</dd><dd>Wrenches,<br><br>

</dd><dd><span>Of our residential installs, i would guess that at least 80% are done
on composite asphalt shingle roofs typically ranging from 13 to 33deg
pitch. The rest are made up of various metal roofs, cedar shake, rubber
shingles, concrete tile, etc...<br><br>

</span></dd><dd>Obviously, we require roof anchors for fall protection.  Rarely
do we come across existing homes that have roof anchors already
installed.<br><br>

</dd><dd><span>I have typically been using these...<br>

</dd><dd>or these...<br>

</dd><dd>
<a href="https://www.millerfallprotection.com/fall-protection-products/roofing-products/temporary-roof-anchors" target="_blank">
RA15-1/ </a><br><br>

</dd><dd><span>Preferably the RA15-1 since it can use screws (#12's) instead of
nails and only needs 8 screws compared to the 20 nails for the hinged
anchor... ***in order for it to be approved***<br><br>

</span></dd><dd> <br><br>

</dd><dd>​What are you all using as temporary anchors specifically for
asphalt shingle roofs​???<br><br>

</dd><dd>Do any of you prefer to install permanent roof anchors, now that you
have just installed a "serviceable" piece of equipment on the
roof?  What do you use?<br><br>
