Abstract
A support assembly for supporting sheathing material sheets during a roofing or re-roofing operation has two brackets for securing at spaced locations on a roof frame. Each bracket has a base member for lying along the incline of the roof, a hook at one, upper end of the base member for hooking over the ridgepole, roof frame member or existing roof sheathing, and an upright member projecting upwardly at the opposite, lower end of the base member for providing a support for storing and cutting a stack of sheathing sheets placed over the base members of the two brackets.
Claims18
A support assembly for roof sheathing material, comprising:
- a pair of support brackets for securing to a roof frame in spaced apart locations to provide a support platform for a stack of roof sheathing sheets;
- each bracket comprising an elongate base member for placing flat on a roof frame to extend along the incline of the roof, the base member having opposite first and second ends;
- at least one hook member extending downwardly at an angle from a first location on the base member for hooking over a roof ridgepole, roof frame member or sheathing along one side of a rafter, the hook member having at least one opening for receiving a fastener for securing the hook member to the adjacent rafter;
- and
- an upright support member projecting upwardly from a second location on the base member spaced from the hook member, the support members together comprising means for supporting a stack of sheet material placed on the base members of both brackets.
