Wallking on metal roof | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 10/13/2004	I had a metal roof put on this summer and it looks absolutely great. However, when I tried to walk on it to clean my chimney I kept sliding down!!!! Any suggestions on how I can walk on the roof to clean my chimney. The roof is not that steep but the chimney is right in the middle of the roof. The house is a salt box shaped home with a long sloping front roof and the back roof is not as steep but much higher and more difficult to get to. Any suggestions???? Thanks much..

Guest User 10/13/2004	You can brace a ladder on the roof, or hang one from the ridge perhaps. There are also foam soled shoes and overshoes available which are designed for gripping on metal roofing. Try a Google search for "shoes for metal roofing" or search for names like Korkers and Cougar Paws.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/4305/find/
