Standing on a porch roof.

[alan watson]

Don't step on porches full stop they were never meant to be weight baring surfaces and they will trip you up and end up costing you weather be financially or physically or both. as stated go above or to the side in some cases a ladder stay  and if those options are not available a trad pole is the answer . and be careful on flat roofs avoid where the water is pooling (its where its likely to be rotten )and if you can see where the roof  beams are thru the roof felt step on the beams. hope that helps. and the m8trix is a awesome bit of kit feels more secure than someone footing the ladder and a must on  woodern decking that stuff is trying to kill all windys on ladders

I wouldn't stand on any porch that doesn't have a supporting post undernieth it, and even the ones that do I tread with caution.

I've decided to invest in a stand off and a Rojak ladder stopper. Managed to pick a 24 inch Rojak up for 20 quid... never used! Bargain There!
