How to Use and Space Roof Jacks to Shingle by Yourself

Показать описание

Here I show how I used roof jacks to shingle 3000 square feet of 8/12 pitch roof by myself. The pattern worked out well, so I wanted to share it.

You can walk out on a plank if you put 2 bundles on the other end where braket is nailed in. It's called counter weight

Thank you for the video. Were your shingles loaded onto the roof, or did you bring them up yourself? I have to do a very similar roof, I have roof jacks, and the company will roof load, I want to take advantage of that.

I've been roofing for almost 50 years. First thing you should have read the instructions, should have at least 5" offset .You said you used 6" offset, looks like 3" at the top to me. Someone said you put your nails too close, that's because your joints are too close. You voided warranty. Actually, you vary with your joints. Those nails should be 1" from the end. That looks like a 5/12 pitch to me, easily walkable to me. I just roofed my house 7/12 and 9/12 pitch. I walked the 7/12 but used jacks on the 9/12. A little steep but I have seen people walk them. Would make me a little nervous if is 3 story. I hope you don't take this personal, you're a good guy for trying to help people. Maybe you should watch video and read instructions first and learn the safe way. This can be dangerous work. I have seen people fall more than once. Luckily nothing serious. There has been results of people dying from falling from roofs. I always say work smarter, not harder. But #1 is safety first.
