Will this work on metal roof? I cannot get a vehicle in my yard to tie to and am hoping this will work!

I don't see why it would not. It's a sturdy piece of metal for sure. That said, you might want to do what I (and others) have said, and have a "back up." That is, maybe tie a rope to it and secure it on the other side of where you want to use it. And I'd replace the wing nut that holds the adjustable part in place with a nut and crank it down.

I use these all the time on metal roofs. they work better if the ridge cap is off because they can dent the ridge cap. you can also buy a roof plank hanger, screw it down and hang a ladder on it.

Yes it would, i put mine on a naked topper roof and worked great. See no reason why wouldnt work on van..might have to get little longer bolts...but should work fine

I think the lift itself would work for holding a rooftop cargo carrier. The straps may be too short to go around the carrier, but if they are, buy longer ones at a hardware store. Good luck!

Don't waste your money. This will not work safely on a metal roof. Will not hook securely over the top of metal roof. We threw our set aside and tied the ladder to a vehicle on the other side of the house.

Richard, I didn't actually use it on aluminum, but it stuck to metal, fiberglass, wood and clothing. All of which you'd have to work at to get it off. Hope this helps. Make sure the roof has no leaks as it will not prevent water penetration.

I am not sure. Depends on how much snow and how solid your panels are. This device works on a gravity principle, so for areas of your roof without panels am sure it will work great and save you tons of time. . .but, due to the variety of solar panels, tensile strength of materials. . .I would be careful testing it.

I'm sure it will work for you if the part of your roof just above where the edge or downspouts are is smooth so that you can pull the snow down over the edge. If you have a 'bump' type seam that is less than a foot from the edge then that bump could make it difficult to use this as the 'bump' will be in the way.

You didn't mention the kind of roof you have. I've patched 2 metal roofs and it is easy to apply and works great. I even patched the bed in my Ranchero and the side of my old Toyota 4x4. Highly recommend this item.

Without drilling, welding or clipping to something you won't be able to attach. Drilling & welding obviously would damage the metal so the question is can you clip to the seams of ur metal roof.

Sure it will work on a metal roof but it really works best on a flat surface. You could tilt the scoop a fraction of an inch so the metal strip doesn't contact the metal roofing. I use mine on the shingle-covered roof over my deck all the time but not on the house roof (too steep for me). It seems like it would be somewhat dangerous (for you, not the scoop) on a slick metal roof anyway.

I was very happy when i used it on my Dodge Caliber which has lots of black plastic on the outer sides of the roof. I would say it should work for you as long as it's plastic, not metal, you clean the surface well.

Mark is incorrect. The kit includes the brackets and instructions for mounting to a roof. However, you will need to choose the screws/bolts/washers etc. that will work with the type of roof you are attaching to. For instance, we mounted to our garage roof and we used bolts and washers on the bracket that was able to get attached to a solid wood beam under the shingles but we had to use toggle anchors, washers and bolts for the bracket that wasn't able to be attached to a solid wood beam. We also used tar in the holes we drilled before screwing anything down. Make sure you make the holes in your roof watertight again!

Yes most definitely! I ran several fasteners into some wood to test it out before working on my metal roof and it functioned well. The screws for metal roofing go into wood anyways:-)

This product works on roofs, works wonders on asphalt roofs, which is what I bought it for. Beyond that, you would have to read the directions and look it up.

This hook is dangerous or impossible to use on a metal roof! That said, if you are using it on a shingle roof it would be best to remove the lower section of the extension ladder. This gives you more hook to grip over the top with since the bottom section is making the ladder twice as thick. You also need two hooks, not one. If you are the least bit uneasy hanging on a steep roof, save your money and don't try to use these things.

If you have a metal roof, no problem at all. It sticks very well. If you have metal roof sealer or the white snowseal,and it is peeling, remove as much of the peeling as possible, then apply. It will stick very well.

Rubber boot works great. make sure the boot has metal flange that can easly bend on the ribs of roof if it comes out on the ribs. good luck
