I thought for a long time how best to raise the materials on the roof, but then I made a loop using an ordinary nut
I decided to close the roof on the garage this year. The task is not easy, because you need to work at a height and you constantly have to go up and down for the right material or tool, and I only had my twelve year old son as my assistants.
There was a lot of work and, first of all, it was necessary to remove the old slate and carefully lower it so as not to break it. Then replace some of the beams, lift and fix the profiled sheets.
I thought for a long time how to simplify my work and how it is more convenient to raise (lower) the necessary material from the roof. But after made a simple and reliable loop using a regular nut, which can be quickly tightened and fixed on an object of any shape, and then also quickly removed. It is done in seconds and is very easy to use (even a child can handle it).
And so, we need some kind of rope of the required length (I had a coil of rope with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 20 m).
And the most common nut, the diameter of which should be twice the diameter of the rope (in my case, I took an M 12 nut).
If there is no suitable nut, then it can be replaced with a piece of metal or plastic pipe of the required diameter.
And now the making of the loop itself. First of all, we tie a knot at the end of the rope (one knot is enough, but if necessary, you can tie several).
Then fold the rope in half, leaving a tail about 10 cm long.
Then we pass the rope through the nut and stretch it so that the knot rests against it.
The result is such a convenient self-tightening loop.
Now, to secure any material or tool, you just need to pull one end of the rope to the required length, put the loop over the object and tighten it. On the one hand, the rope rests against the nut with a knot, and on the other, thanks to the thread, it is securely fixed, but at the same time it is very easy to remove the loop later. My son coped with this task without any problems, which helped me a lot and the work went much faster.
And at the end a small demonstration of her work.
