So satisfying when you undermine it and a huge chunka chunk comes off. I have a flat roof so I have my own methods. Funny how when you live with this type of condition you learn the best way to solve it for your needs. Yeah, it's work but necessary and rewarding. This slide thing w/pole is a great idea.

I installed wheels in the front of the box that cuts the snow. These wheels make the box cut the snow much higher than the shingles and cannot damage them. This year, I modified the wheels. I cut teflon circles and drilled holes in the center for the shaft. Very light and strong. You can make them the size you want. For me, I made them 4 inches of diameter. It’s better to let some snow on the roof. Thanks for watching.

At the end of the video it looks like a pretty tall lip on the cutting side of the device. It looks to me that it would cause trouble penetrating especially when there is some ice involved like in the video. It would seem to me that s flat, re-enforced cutting edge would cut through the hardened snow easier. I bet there is a reason for it though. Either way it does look much safer than getting on the roof or leaving it up there. Is this a commercial item or home made?

I have built a couple of things similar to yours. Get a stiffer pole! I use wood doweling (closet poles work) and fasten them together with suitable electrical conduit couplers. Each of those couplers has four compression screws so remove those screws and drill out the holes drilling completely through the wood doweling and use a screw with a nut. I have one 12 ft long and one 16 ft long. They are plenty stiff.

I doubt that is even possible. Places where snow is common houses tend to be well insulated and heat doesn't realy leak through the roof. This means that leaking heat doesn't melt the snow and snow sticks on the roof easier. And so the snow stays on the roof untill spring comes and sun can melt snow enough that a layer of water forms under the snow and causes it to slide off the roof. And even then the roof may be made of some material that offers more friction than a corregated steel. Sometimes roofs have been designed to keep snow on the roof untill it melts as the falling snow can be a hazard.

There is what they call « permanent roof » that is made of metallic shingles that look like slate shingles. After a snowstorm the sun heats the roof for only a few degrees and the snow slides off the roof by itself. The problem with this type of roof is the cost $$$$$$ and the second, the snow slides off everywhere so you have to shovel this wet snow off your way in front of each doors. If you don’t shovel it right away it turns into ice. Third, the warranty of these shingles is 50 years. Some of the companies selling these shingles don’t last 50 years !!! Thanks for watching !

Usually the average temperature here during the winter here is between -7°C and -15°C. Unfortunately there are city rules for the style of roofs. Also winter lasts a VERY long time here so it would cost a lot for electricity and the price for the modification of the house. Roofing a house like mine with asphalt shingles cost around $10 000 and will last 25 to 30 years. The next owner can do whatever he wants to do !!! 😂😂😂

Think that in my city, snow accumulation problems are mostly on the west side of the roof. The east side remains intact with maybe a maximum of 1 foot which is better for cold insulation. www.amazon.ca/dp/B0822V26D1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_RGzQFbW0F8HFS

Roofer have a device like a flare gun but it shoots a rope over the building so you can attach it to a tree on the other side of the house for a first man up climbing rope. I saw another fellow in Canada who had a wire and he went on the roof and dragged the wire across the hip of the roof. He came back down and then two people pulled the wire from each side of the house down the roof line. The entire roof of snow came down in one fell swoop. Personally, I would shoot the line across the roof using the roofers method for first man up and then get another person to help me pull the wire so I could get it down in one fell swoop. Two things would happen. I would not have to worry about two tons of snow falling on my head and with the wire I can get the snow off from the sides of the house thus not worrying about the snow falling on my head. It is much better to stay off of a snow filled roof and risk injury and still get your snow off. I can still see the application of your device but just wanted to share.

First I’d like to thank you Here are the dimensions of the box made of 2 U form aluminum sheet of 1/8 ” 6 inches high 18 inches wide 4 inches deep I used Krazy Karpets for kids for the slide and joined them together with rivets. You have to adjust the width of the box to match the width of what you have for slide. Then I used heavy duty furniture glides as casters. For the handle I cut the one on my Garant roof shovel, which was too hard to work with, and attached on top of the box with U-bolts. The handle sticks connect to each other so you add more sticks to reach higher locations on the roof. Good luck and stay away from electrical wires.

@@bengazzara1324 It's funny cuz it's an amazing tool.

It's funny because of the irony that's all. Wasn't looking to get a defensive stance from you. Great tool overall. Since you only need to push the tool I'd make a quick release break away fitting between the first and second poles.

After 3 years using my tool, I have never broken any shingles because of the wheels installed at the base of the box. Sorry for your situation but I didn’t steal this idea from nobody. I saw one day a swedish or norwegian video with a similar homemade tool and I did the best I could make by myself. Last year, I only broke 2 parts of handle out of 12. If some people don’t have the resources for making one tool like this they can buy some already commercialized like the Minnsnowta or the Snow Peeler.

The concept is great but most of these things are flimsy and you have to work it from the top down. Still fun to watch the process though.

It’s been 4 years that I use my tool and I removed the snow off of hundreds of roofs across the town without any damages on the tool and any roof !!! I think that it’s absolutely not flimsy. The technique is more important than the concept. Because shingles are fragile when somebody walks on them, the longer they will last if you’re removing the snow from the ground. You can’t use this tool with every style of roof, but for a simple bungalow it is perfect and fast. The average worked time for one side of a house is around 15 to 20 minutes. This tool has removed hundreds of tons of snow without any damage. It is evident that my most popular video is the one where there is almost 3 feet of snow on the roof. That’s because it looks spectacular and I didn’t have the time to remove it before. Don’t wait until the snow is turning into ice, you have to do it when the snow is soft. Thanks for watching ! 👍🏻

That’s because the state where you live is not well equipped for these situations. And I suppose that it is uncommon to have winter storms. So it’s easier to stop everyone from driving and taking risks. Also we have to install winter tires by law. Once every three for four year there is a major snowstorm that that shut off pretty much everything only for a couple of hours.

Well, depending on how much weighs the tool , the pitch of your roof and the method you’re using to use the tool, I think that you can do it. The easiest way is to remove the snow as soon as possible. Don’t wait two or three snowfalls. One of my video demonstrates that with maybe 6 inches of snow, it’s soooo easy to make it fall to the ground. The snow doesn’t have the time to harden with the rays of the sun and the cold of the night. The fluffiest it is the better it is for you to remove it. Mine weighs about 3 pounds but on a long stick the weight multiplies fast. By getting the tool on the roof almost vertically and then by adding extensions to the handle, it is very easy to get it on the roof. Then the weight of the tool sits mostly on the roof. You have a fraction of the weight on the handle. In addition the caster wheels make it easier to move it up and down. Good luck !

I’ve never said that this is the universal tool that everybody must use. But if it is useful for anybody that fits their configuration they can do it themselves. Now for a 2-story house that’s another game. It’s better to have a very high pitch roof so the trusts will easily support the load of the snow. Good luck and work safely !!!
