Brilliant!
But this is good for fresh snow, I doubt that using this after ice has formed it’ll be much good.

I think there are small wheels on each corner so it doesn't scrape, but you are right if those shingles are not laying perfectly flat, if it catches even just a little bit...

This is the price we pay for those picture-perfect Christmas photo opportunities.

Used one of those during last winter. Had to fix it after every third pull.

Can you give us a mfg/model name or link? What part did you have to fix?
[–] misterpoopybutthole 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
cant give you a model or a link as it wasn't mine(nor was the roof). It was the telescopic rod that kept breaking because it was made out of some cheap ass metal and the snow on the roof had hardened a bit because of spring.
edit: The rod was made out of several pipes and each end had to be tightened by this plastic part that you twist. When it broke the top end stayed on the roof and I had to climb up to drop it down. The ladders were icy as fuck. tl;dr dont buy a telescopic one

I think he just means he had to make sure the sheet was properly laid out after every third pull, not that it fell apart.
