How to avoid damaging the metal roofing? I am doing the right ladder for the installation of the roof.

If you think that a tree soft material, then hasten to disappoint you. Metal scratched him just so ...

Once delivered I sheets for roofing (with what I encountered in doing so, you can read in this article), Came good, for me, the weather.

Snow, that I was almost ripped off all the work began to slowly melt. And I have to do the final preparations for the laying of metal.

And one of the most important elements of this process is the staircase.

Do not idle, and with features.

When installing metal will be times when I will not need to be on the crate, and the sheets themselves. And more and more often. And there are two options.

Use a safety rope to move.
Or walk up the stairs.

The second option I personally liked more, I stopped it. Make the design was not difficult, but the main thing was to take into account the important points.

🔹 weight.

This is a very important detail. Located upstairs in uncomfortable conditions, every extra kilogram becomes two. Therefore, the ladder should be as light as possible.

For this, I sawed the bars 50 to 30 to the longitudinal members, and 50 to 20 steps.

🔹 Width.

It is necessary that the ladder fell two longitudinal bars in the trough of the wave. If you do anyhow, can promyat metal mounting.

To do this, I just put bars on the sheet, and fixed steps.

🔹 Softness.

The idea tree soft material and damage the metal tile should not. But I decided to err, and sheathed longitudinal bars izolona that used on the roof, as a counter-lining (how it was, read this article).

❗ I must say that in the future, it has not regretted. Wood very overwrites coating metal.

🔹 Reliable fixation on the roof.

When you are hanging on a slippery roof, I want to be sure that you will not go over it with this ladder. Therefore, the "hook" to make a better more reliable.
