DIY Roof Bench

Here’s a slick way to keep tools from sliding off the roof! Cut two 12-in. long boards (any width) and hinge them together. Glue a scrap of outdoor carpet to the bottom of one board. Set the boards on the edge of the roof with the hinges toward the peak (the carpeted board will grab onto the coarse shingle surface). Slide a 2×4 scrap between the two boards until the top board is level and fasten the 2×4 in place with drywall screws. — Wayne A. Williamson
