Gear set up so the painter won’t walk on the slate roof and ruin it.

Resist the temptation to walk on your slate roof. It ruins them. Especially be wary of the folks who say the “know” how to walk on the slate, because … they are wrong. It’d be like walking on two panes of glass with a few large grains of sand between them. Just a darn bad idea unless you like leaks and maintenance forevermore. This video shows the gear I use to distribute my weight and hold my ladders. This client hired me to set up a system for the painter to use move about and set his ladders on boards to keep off the slate. Gear available at www.Slator-USA.com

Thanks so much for uploading these. It’s a really good resource- I’m having success with a new type of ladder I made, I’ll upload a link….
