will they hurt rubber roofs ?

Rubber roof is called EPDM by the manufacturers. I just googled EPDM and calcium chloride. The people who make it approve of the use of calcium chloride, but warn that the runoff may be bad for plants and or other materials it comes in contact with.

I don't know about rubber roofs, but save your money. You are better off buying water softener salt and putting that on your roof. These pucks are junk.

have not tryed them outside but i would save doubtful - pretty sure any dampness would ruin them quickly. they are felt after all

Yes. They are not as robust as earlier models, but neither are the roof racks, so watch that you don't overload.

No, unless the roofing nail has an unusually small head. The head of a 16p nail just barely fits.

I would not recommend them for this the heat from the steam may melt the rubber which wouldn't be a good idea.

Sure-they'd be great, but they are only rubber and wouldn't protect from injury if you accidently knocked into foot w/ shovel. Love to garden and prone to injuries myself!

No. Unless they are at foot level. Big winds, snow and ice have not damaged mine. But they are attached under my roof overhang.

The pellets are calcium chloride, so it really depends what your roof is composed of. If you have something different than the standard generic tiles that everyone has (clay tiles, slate, etc), I would probably be very hesitant as it could produce some discoloration.

Well they are mad of rubber so they can melt with excessive heat, maybe try some ove gloves underneath them.

It has a small plastic wheel on each side of the bottom of the cutter assembly, so I don't think it would scratch a metal roof.

A gutter, NO, I think the rubber would swell and burst. A downspout, I have doubts as the swelling rubber would probably deform the downspout.

No, not significantly. I can't see it being a problem, other than the rubberized feet maybe catching a little.

My roof was EPDM rubber and it worked great. You have to prep well and follow the directions. I watched several youtube videos before I tried it.

i don't believe it will scratch a metal roof due to the plastic rollers it rides on, but it may be susceptible to tearing if it were to catch any kind of edge. If you can keep the tarp from any sharp edges and use it on days when its not to windy its a great product. Hope this helps.

if you are referring to the straps that go over the rims, yes they may firmly contact the rims and could rub--depends on your rims/wheels--not a problem on my bikes tho.The big plastic shells only contact the tires.

As long as the roof is flat and level. The wind would be the problem in blowing it over, however.

The roof is pretty heavy panels. I don't have any trees around mine, so I don't know if it would dent.
