That may mean you need multiple anchors.

On teh roof getting high.

This article expands on these tips below. My husband always used to just climb up on the roof with a ladder and blow the debris off into the yard and then we d deal with it from there. I live in a single wide mobile home in the midst of a lot of trees. The angle of ladder should be 4 in 1 that is for every 4m you go up you come out 1m from gutter line.

On high pitched roofs nail down a board just below where you will lay the shingle bundles. The harness attaches to a roof anchor that s secured to a truss or rafter to ensure its stability. You can also use a roof harness that can stop you from falling off the roof. Stay well away from power lines and don t put ladder across doorways.

This is especially helpful on steep or high roofs. So if you re comparing metal to a 25 30 year shingle roof you might be making an unfair comparison. We lived in our last home for 18 years and its 50 year architectural shingle roof still looks great. If you re getting off ladder at top ensure it is extended 1m higher than gutter or roof.

This will prevent the shingle bundles from sliding which would be a safety hazard and could damage the roof. To access a roof you ll need an extension ladder. It is the usual low pitch of a mobile home roof. My experience is that if you want a shingle roof that still looks good in 25 years you should probably buy a 50 year roof.
