Russdl Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 My son has been asked to quote for a job repairing a purely decorative wooden thingy on top of a garage which has a pyramid hipped roof. It's not immediately obvious in the photo below but the ridge joining the house to the garage is a good couple of feet lower than the top of the pyramid roof. He asked me what would be the best way to access the wooden thingy in order to work on it. I stared at him blankly. So, over to the hive mind if I may. What would be the best way to access and work on the wooden thingy? Is there a better option than full scaffolding? Thanks in advance 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russdl Posted October 12 Author Share Posted October 12 @Andehh I initially thought they wouldn't be suitable to work off but having a look at some maybe they would. I found one nearby that seems to have plenty of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russdl Posted October 12 Author Share Posted October 12 Supplementary question. What is the wooden thingy? I presume it's a fake ventilation thingy. I'm guessing it serves no purpose, the house is around 25 years old in a cul-de-sac of similar looking buildings with similar wooden things on their garage roofs.

Mr Punter Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 You get those louvred vents at the top of lift shafts. I am not sure why you would have one on a garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Pretty common on some new builds, faux style? I've seen them on multiple estates. May even serve a practical function of an awkward roof joint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would make completion of that roof joint a whole lot easier if no one can see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
