There is provided a railing post adaptor for a roof support apparatus. The roof support apparatus comprises an elongate member having a plurality of longitudinal sides. The railing post adaptor comprises a roof support apparatus connector for securing the railing post adaptor to the roof support apparatus. The roof support apparatus connector comprises a first connection portion arranged to engage, in use, with a first set of the plurality of longitudinal sides, and a second connection portion, movably mounted to the first connection portion and arranged to engage, in use, with a second set of the plurality of longitudinal sides, the second set being different from the first set. The roof support apparatus connector further comprises a railing connection portion extending from the roof support apparatus connector for detachably securing a proximal end of a railing post to the roof support apparatus via the railing post adaptor. The first set and the second set each comprise at least two longitudinal sides. The first connection portion and the second connection portion are together configured to substantially prevent rotation of the railing post adapter about a longitudinal axis of the elongate member by engagement with the first set and second set of longitudinal sides.

A system includes a plurality of storage brackets installed on a roof deck, each including a base plate, an arm and optionally a head and a receptacle. The arm is optionally rotatable. The receptacle of one of a first pair of storage brackets is configured to receive the head of another of the first pair of storage brackets. The receptacle of one of a second pair of storage brackets is configured to receive the head of another of the second pair of storage brackets. The first and second pairs of storage brackets are spaced apart from one another. The brackets are configured to receive at least one roofing material, which is positioned on the base plate of at least one of the first pair of brackets and at least one of the second pair of brackets.

A standing seam mounting bracket and a method of using two or three to provide attachment points along a standing seam roof is provided. The standing seam mounting brackets enable complementary use of commonly-owned equipment for enabling roof maintenance and construction. The standing seam mounting brackets may be used in concert with roof jacks, roof ladders, scaffolding members and the like that are commonly owned by most contractors so as to facilitate safe and easy horizontal and vertical movement along the sloped roof.

A device for use in securing a ladder to a roof for use in attaching roofing panels to the roof or for inspecting panels. The device includes a main body portion having a bottom floor having a plurality of corrugation openings formed therethrough, the corrugation openings sized and configured to straddle corrugations of roofing panels while allowing the bottom floor to lie substantially flat on the panel. A plurality of fastener openings are functionally associated with the bottom floor for use in selectively securing and detaching the main body portion to the roof using roofing fasteners. In embodiments attachment member chambers contain attachment members slidably disposed therein for use in attaching the device to a roof. Methods of using the devices for installing roofing panels and inspecting panel roofs are included.

A valley roof bracket is an adjustable V-shaped bracket having an upper cross-member upon which a triangular shaped platform may adjustably be positioned. The device may be secured to an angular side of a pitched roof.

Devices for anchoring objects to structural elements such as rafter beams and other similar objects are disclosed. Such anchoring devices include coupling devices configured to grasp beams nondestructively and may include multiple coupling devices to enable supporting extended structures too large or heavy to be supported by a single anchoring point in areas where hanging or supporting objects might otherwise be difficult.

The shingle installation jack devices may be mounted once at a first roof level, providing support for the walk board. When installation or repair of the shingles is complete at the first level of the roof, the shingle installation jack devices may be operated in tandem to raise the level of the walk board to a second level of the roof. Shingle installation and/or repair may then be carried out at this second roof level without the need to re-mount the walk board supports at the second level. The shingle installation jack devices may also be run in reverse to lower the walk boards. The shingle installation device includes a frame and utilizes a winch motor to adjust the effective length of a cable and thus adjustably raise or lower the walk boards to any desired roof level.

In various aspects and embodiments a roofing guard device 200 comprises a mount portion 210, brace portion 220, optional lateral supports 240, and restraint flanges 214, 216, as well as optional fall-arrest mount(s) 230. By securely supporting a foot guard 12 such as a board or plank and providing secure attachment points for roofing harnesses 400 or other fall-arrest devices, the roofing guard device 200 provides increased protection against falls and other mishaps. When configured such that a gap between the foot guard 12 and an edge 101 of the roof 100 is entirely or substantially eliminated, roofing guard devices in accordance with the invention can further help to eliminate dangers from falling tools, hardware, etc.
