The roof anchor system you choose for your building is one of the most important decisions you will make during the construction process. A roof anchor system is a key part of the fall protection system for your roof and will be relied upon in the event of a fall.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a roof anchor system, including
The weight of the person who will be using the system:
One of the most important factors to consider while choosing roof anchors is the weight of the person who will be using the system. The reason for this is that the strength of the anchor system is determined by the amount of weight it can support. If you are not sure about the weight of the person who will be using the system, it is best to err on the side of caution and choose an anchor system that can support more weight than you think will be needed.
The type of roof:
When it comes to choosing roof anchors for metal roofs, one of the most important factors to consider is the type of roof. This is because different types of roofs require different types of anchors. For example, tile roofs typically require anchor systems that are either directly fastened or mechanically fastened. Metal roofs, on the other hand, typically require anchor systems that are either standby or directly fastened.
The climate:
The climate where the anchors will be used will have an effect on the type of anchor you choose. For example, in warm climates, expansion anchors may not work as well because the heat can cause them to expand too much. In cold climates, however, expansion anchors may work well because the cold can cause the metal to contract, making the anchor more secure.
The budget:
Depending on the roof type and weight capacity, roof anchors can range in price from around $100 to over $1,000.
If you are working with a limited budget, there are a few things you can do to save money on roof anchors. One option is to buy used anchors. Another option is to buy anchor systems that can be used on multiple roof types. For example, some anchor systems can be used on both tile and metal roofs.
Whatever roof anchor system you choose, be sure to do your research and purchase anchors that are specifically designed for your roof type and weight capacity.
