Roof

Anyone walk on their Dynamax Force Roof yet?
Are there any no step areas?

Been up there a ton of times to clean and install new fans. No issues when I was up there.

I think the roof is 5/16" (could be 3/8") with aluminum rafters 16" OC.

There are two valves for the water heater and one for the tank drain. But I have not used any of them. I built storage boxes under there so that is the only time we open it.

I've walked on the roof too. I stayed away from seams and solar. I'm 220lbs.

ok, here are the pics. as you can see I upgraded the TV to an LG Smart TV, changed the speakers to Polk, added a blue tooth radio and an LCD TV waterproof cover.

Cover and the mount are from Amazon, the mount is Sanus System Super Slim Full-Motion Mount Flat-Panel TV 26"-47" VMF408B1. The cover is just an all weather LCD cover.

Lastly, you can see I added panels and covered the holes behind the TV. Once you move the TV out, the bug go in under your sink. Took one hot trip to figure that out.

Enjoy.

Was just up on the roof this weekend. No problems walking around.

Also used my 15' extendo aluminum ladder for the first time. That thing is absolutely perfect for this application. Its a little heavy when collapsed but once you extend it I cant believe how efficient it is on weight.

I think that is the same ladder I have, nice to keep in the pass through and have available. It is heavy, but it is also sturdy.

Yup I think so. Mine has been in the barn the past few trips because I just never could get around to finding a place for it. After using it this weekend and seeing how well it works it's got a permanent home in the pass through now.

I bought a few race car window nets and fastened them to the pass through areas in two of the storage bins. They have clips on the top that latch to a small loop. This keeps the ladder/wood etc... from falling into the storage bin when cornering.
