Thanks for the close up. I think I will go with this design as I can get all of those parts locally. I like the wide base, to distribute weight more evenly. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Ben West wrote: > If you need, here is a close up of that 3foot tripod screwed down to the > treated lumb

Harbor Freight foam puzzle mats work alright as well for pads. $6.99 for 4 on sale almost every week. I'm with Josh though. A pallet with some mats under it works wonders. If you find a source for the plastic pallets they work even better. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 5:41 PM, wrote: > We try to

Pretty sure the roof is rubber, but I haven't been on it yet. Roof mats are definitely a good idea. Years ago when I worked at a WISP, I think we used rubber truck mud flaps. Cheap and can be purchased locally. On Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 4:16 PM, Ryan Spott wrote: > B VERY careful when using trea

Yep, sorry for not being diligent about mentioning (or photographing) the roof mat. None of the rooftops I've mounted on are metal, but even still a roof mat is a good idea to keep the wood from slowly rotting away the tar-paper or whatever the roof is surfaced with. Thanks for the tip about usin

B VERY careful when using treated wood on a metal roof. It will attack and eat right through it. I caught my first do-it-yourself mount before it got through the roof of a multi-million dollar house. At a minimum use a roof pad. If you can't find one for cheap then ask around your friends with
