I have a garage roof that is tiled with roof tiles, will that support an average man weight if i stand on it
the roof is angled with standard support beams and a weatherproofing sheet
between the beams and the slates...
should easily cope with the weight of a man.
im 15 stone.i do it all the time.
its all dependant on your roof structure & spacing of the timbers.
yes. make sure you stand on the laps of tiles,dint stand in
middle of tile that is the weak point
it should not collapse if that is what you are asking.
however, individual tiles may be loose or damaged and break free when you
stand on them. play it safe and secure a ladder over the top. if you
don't have a ladder, you can nail some cleats on a 8'' to 12'' wide board
and make a chicken ladder
he he he try it and see!have someone watching you with a
camera,if you fall of send it to you've been framed.
you say tiles and slate in your question, which is it ?
A roof in good repair, and built properly wil be able to stand a persons
weight.
You should aim to stand where there are 3 overlaping slates, just above
one of the battens. wear light, flexible shoes. Trainers will do.
Yes, but not if you want to do the tango! A roof ladder with
some sheets underneath it to stop it scratching the tiles would be your
safest bet, but most tiled roofs are safe (in as far as being that high up
can be) to walk on. Be extra careful if the roof is wet, moss etc can make
it like an ice rink.
Depends on how heavy your average man is.hehe
but dont get my answer wrong, it might still not be safe to stand on.
nothing is for certain and the best way to make sure you wont fall is
either to ask a professional do what has to be done in your roof or don't
put yourself in that situation.
it might even have some side effect on you if you ever stood there and fall. (AKA Fear of Heights) Hope that your question
Lets play safe...use a roof ladder and you should be
fine...good luck.
