To use this straddling the peak of the roof, is it possible to bend the mounts where they contact the roof slightly to make up for the roof angle?

Place 2 legs on one side and the 3rd on the other side of the peak. The mounting brackets will adjust (rotate) to your roof pitch without bending.

If you have good bite with the screws, they will pull the mounts down to the roof. I put a nice dab of silicone in the pre-drilled hole before installing the screw.

Absolutely yes. I did just that with my installation, but you'll find the required bending is very minimal.

Absolutely. The tubular steel is flattened to a tab at the end, and you can bend this.

yep. mounts are adjustable. if you want 4 across you need to turn them each vertically.

The mount has a build in ball joint connection, it will allow you to turn 360 degrees with out bending the arm. Best Regards,

I see no reason why it wouldnt work. I would not mount these brackets directly to a roof. I suggest building a frame with 4 corner roof penetrations to minimize potental roof leaks then mount with these brackets to the structure.

Not exactly as we would like, but the bending angle allows users to them almost everywhere

I don't think so because the base of it at the top is flat. Now, if you had another piece of wood going across your angle that might work.

yes you should be able to..you can contort it any way you want to...hope this helps..i am very satisfied with mine

I have no problem doing this. It's not going to angle straight down, but maybe 45° or so is doable. Tip: If the top part ever gets a little loose, just look at it closely, you can tighten it up pretty easily and make it rock solid. At first I thought this tripod was junk until I realized you can tighten the top part.

Haven't tried it, but only possible way would be to butt the two outside ends together at a 90 degree angle and leave the fitted joint ends exposed.

Not really. You might be able to rig it for that but not sure how well it will work. Thought about trying it myself but haven't gotten around to it.

JN, You can change the angle to flat. Where the stand connects to the plate on top it has an adjustable type of connection that locks in place. I don't really know how to describe it. It works good though.

If on a flat roof, there are extensions which go straight out onto the roof and are anchored down.If at the peak or on a slant, there are a couple of brackets you can use to install on the level. hope this helps/

I'm not sure you can. The way the roof is hinged, you might just be opening the feeder when it hangs. You might be able to rig something with some eyes on the end panels but I'm unsure if that would cause stability issues.

Yes, there is a handle cut into the roof, no extension arm however, so you'll most likely need to bend down to use it.

Yes, it is possible, but ungainly and difficult. The tilt mechanism seems to have been designed as an adjustment to be made when the rack unloaded for opening a tailgate.

No I don't think you could swivel the hook enough. You might try going in at a horizontal angle though

Mounting at angles (depending on how much angle your talking about) may not be the best method. It would be advisable to contact the Mfg. before proceeding with an angle mount.
