Title: 2 feet plus of snow on the roof and snow roof rakes sold out. What to do..
Post by: TJS Nordic on January 30, 2011, 04:45:25 PM: Make one.
Well since the snow rakes are so hard to get these days I decided to make one today. I bent up some pretty stout aluminum scrap I had laying around. I also welded a 1" NPT bung to it. This is where the swimming pool pole will mount to. I just have to make an NPT adapter to the pole tomorrow and then on to taking the snow off the roof.

Anyway I first used a painting pole. It worked for the use of the day. Then my neighbor has a pool pole and I adapted it to work. Now we are talkin. See pics.

I used to like the rain too, but that was before started working for the city in the road dept. gotta clean all the mess up from the rain.....hate the rain now. Lol. But good job as always man.
