Lightweight composite roofing support system

A lightweight composite roofing support system, comprising:

• a longitudinally-extending core member comprising a longitudinally-extending first roof contact side comprising a longitudinally-extending first edge and an opposed longitudinally-extending second edge, a longitudinally-extending second side comprising a second side working surface having a second width and a second length that is greater than the second width, the second side tapering toward the first edge at a first acute angle (α) from the first roof contact side, and a longitudinally-extending third side comprising a third side working surface having a third width and a third length that is greater than the third width, the third side tapering toward the second edge at a second acute angle (β) from the first contact side that is different than the first acute angle (α), a laterally-extending first end comprising an integral first recess defining a first handle or grip, and an opposed laterally-extending second end comprising an integral second recess defining a second handle or grip, the core member comprising a core material and a wedge-shaped lateral cross-section;
• and
• a resiliently compressible cover layer comprising a resiliently compressible cover material, the cover layer disposed on and covering the first roof contact side, the core member and cover layer comprising a first roofing support.

A lightweight composite roofing support system connector comprising a longitudinally-extending connector comprising a first connector end and an opposed second connector end joined together by a longitudinally-extending intermediate portion, the first connector end configured for selective engagement/disengagement within a first roof support and the second connector end configured for selective engagement/disengagement within a second roof support, wherein upon engagement the connector is configured to connect the first roof support and the second roof support.
