Is the hook long enough to go over a ridge vent on a asphalt roof?

I kind of doubt it. It looks to me like the top sides of the ladder would have to lay ON the ridge vent. A metal or plastic vent would be damaged. That would also shorten the distance to the end of the hook, meaning you might be hooked only to the vent, not very secure. If the seller cared they would have replied by now with dimensions and photos of it in use with a ridge vent.

Thank for reply , actually I bought that ladder Hook and I did my job with and it was right on. Happy with it. I bought from amazon. It said asked by Terry Kennedy, but I'm not Terry Kennedy! May be Terry didn't received your answer.

Sorry, I don't know but get the ones that are aluminum that are much lighter (and unfortunately more expensive). This is heavy steel and I have stopped using them because having that much weight high up in the high makes it really top heavy. I could see myself doing a lot more damage as I lose control and it goes through a window or falls somewhere.

I looked at the dimensions of the ridge vent, at least those commercially available, and I am of the opinion that the 10.5 inches width and height of the vent (above the roof) is beyond the reach of the ladder hook for safe operation. The ladder would be hooked onto the edge of the vent thus putting a strain on the vent, instead of the stable roof shingle.

Used it once so far and it worked well on a non ridge shingled roof. Not sure if it is long enough. I would ask the manufacturer or a parts company.

If you think you can return these if doesn't work, consider the cost of return shipping.

I don't believe it would be long enough. I guess if you would attach something to extend it, it would work though.

I dont think so. At full extension mine only reaches 45 -50 down from the roof

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.

NO,strap not long enough,unless you can work your boat up the trailer to connect hook.

Why not just get the one specifically designed for the roof vent? That's what we have over the bed and it works perfectly. Also have the ability to draw air IN, or reverse the blades and suck air OUT with it.

Outside of the ridge is a little shy of 8 5/8" and the metal rim extends to 9.25" so it should work

I think you pretty much need to separate the base section from the extension section before using these hooks. At least that's what I do. I use the base section to climb up to the section that is hooked over the roof ridge.

You will need to get on the roof to determine what type of vent your rig has. My 5'er had a cap the just popped off. My MH vent is all one piece that is bolted and sealed to the roof. Other than that, follow JKs instructions.

Yes, If the roofing nail heads are the smaller type. The large headed roofing nails will not fit into the nail cylinder.

I purchased the vent cap for the very same use. It fit perfectly over my thru the roof 6" kitchen vent pipe.

YES , NO PROBLEM . Have my unit on my roof , cord is long enough. Great product !

hole for vent needs to be 8" and the fan is centered over that hole with the metal flashing around the fan going under your roof shingles inside if you run duct use 8"round or 8" to 6" adapter

I was able to compress the spring loaded hooks and slowly lift it out while holding the vent still in a position pointing to the car roof. Try freeing one hook at a time.

This might work for strapping down tarps if you always use the same tarp on the same flatbed with the same load. The cord is of good quality and should tolerate weather well. But the logistics of having a permanent cord looped through grommets to attach to tie-down hooks would be slow and hard to adjust. I should probably mention that it is hard to tie the cord to itself (like using a square knot to tie two ends together). It is best to use a crimping tool to crimp a metal staple to hold the two ends together.

I would not go shorter. You can always cut them to fit or wrap the excess around and tuck the ends. Just make sure the hooks will fit around your roof rack. The opening is approx 1" round. I love these ties and that is saying a lot for me They are 7', not 15' as stated in part of the description.

Not sure as I don't know exactly how yours is mounted. If it has rails for the tarp then probably a no go.
