I have a job to do building a pool house.
45 degree roof pitch. Can I ‘stick’ to the shingles well enough to get up and down and nail more on? OR, do I need some sorta scaffold type thingy?
If it seems like a dumb question its cos shingles are not at all common here. Corrugated iron is. I am used to that………
thanks
Everything, 100% of it, depends on how you look at it.

aj.... on that pitch (12/12) you need roof jacks with planks on them... you nail them on ..
the shingle you leave out where the jacks are, you slide under the jack, so it will be ther for later.. you work your way up the roof with probably 4' to 5' between rows of staging planks....
after you cap the ridge. you take your staging planks down.. and you slide the shingle you stored into it's place... with the butt about 1/2" below it's final location.. you toe -nail it into place with the 2 nails angling up the roof ...
then you tap the butt of the shingle into it's final place and the head of teh nails slides under the course above.. you work your way down and off the roof
He'd need a lot more n that if they had OSHA there..
Yur right on..but the Cougar paws boots are a blessing as well.
as is a foam cushion, and a scabbard for the hatchett..( my 4 stitches attest)
I am just getting the last 6 sq on of oak shakes on a 6/12..pics tomorrow.

A metal bracket, that is either adjustable to pitch, or fixed at 45*....slotted holes , ya nailit in and can remove by pushing ( or pounding) uphill to remove..
They carry a plank, or toe board, to situatute ones self or stock
We refer to them as brackets in different parts of the USA.
about 10.00 or less..merican.
SOP here, now that OSHA is gawking.

What Mike said.
First cedar shingled roof I walked, was a repair on a Pioneer grain elevator.
Had to climb down to repair on a rope thrown from the cuplola.
Learned two things about cedar shingles that day, one I will never forget.
Don't wear cowboy boots!
LOL, no stirrups on them cedars!
