Alexphd1 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Any thoughts on these. I have to slate a 45' degree roof and think a dozen of these could make life v easy. The angle of the bracket come in 45,60 and 90 degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 a modern version of a slate hook, the old ones i have need a hole bored in the sarking and have the point driven in. i like those, push under a slate and hook onto the nail. ideal for newish roofs but i don't know whether i'd trust them on old nails.

Alexphd1 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 9 dollar each so pretty cheap. I need to make up mind pretty quick as takes home depot a few days to get them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, i made mine out of wood and heavy galvanised tie down strip, worked great. These look like a lot less work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexphd1 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Acro roof jack or acro roof brackets. Picking up in home depot tomorrow before flying home. I couldn't find anyone in UK who supplies them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexphd1 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Sorry bud, plenty of space aswell in case! There was companies as low as 99 dollars for 12 but wouldn't ship to USA address without a usa credit card. Will be using them next week (weather dependent), will report back.

CC45 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 @Triple07 nice pad. Love that front elevation. No need to apologise for Scottish weather - spend loads of time hill walking in it. Not great for building though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
