How to attach something to a roof.

A professional will attach your shade sail to your roof at the soffit under the lower structural edge where it is safe. On each side of the roof you ll see a rack that runs the length of the roof of the vehicle. While this might work in some situations unless you keep the shingle flat against the roof and ensure the nails are at the correct depth there may not be enough support to hold the weight of your item. This video is about all surface roofing construction.

If you still want to attach something to your roof call exterior remodel design for our team of roofing professionals to help you with your projects. Use a tie down that wraps around the item and the rails. You can also support your shade sail with freestanding poles that are not in direct contact with the house. It s a much better idea to attach a shade sail to your other backyard structures such as your gazebo or trellis.

With the third option crossbars with side rails you can secure an item to the side rails and run tie downs from front to back securing them to the crossbars. If you plan to install a camera on your roof or install a dish on a shingled roof surface you may need to use nails which create holes in an otherwise waterproof surface exposing the entire structure to moisture problems.
