Work on the laying of roofing, the roof service and repair activities require the use of structures and devices that provide the possibility of movement on the skates. To do without them "at the height" in some cases is prohibited by strict safety prescriptions.
For construction, periodic cleaning, damage to the owner of the house will need a portable staircase for the roof roof, and its stationary analogue. You can buy them in constructionarkets or make it yourself.
Arrangement and operation scanty roofs A steepness of 25% (from ≈14º) implies the mandatory use of stairs. If the angle of inclination exceeds 33% (≈18º) to work at an altitude, the safety belt will also be required, and a hook or a safety rail to it for fixing the safety equipment. In the regions with snowy winters, the stairs are recommended to equip anti-slip steps.
Roofing stairs depending on operational purposes are divided into:
Both varieties are produced by industry in the form of prefabricated and solid metal structures. Previously, they were made exclusively from wood, from which to this day there are stairs for the roof masterful homemade craftsmen.
Regardless of direct destination, the staircase must guarantee:
In a typical version of the execution, the roofing staircase is an elementary design. The carrier elements of it are two parallel tanels or cosomes, between which they are equipped with a steps of crossbars on an equal, convenient to take a step.
The difference between the two species indicated is to fix the roof methods, which causes the use of some constructive differences.
Mobile staircases are designed to perform one-time or rarely performed operations. Therefore, they are recorded temporarily with unnecessary elements capable of ensuring stability.
The need for periodic movement and temporary fixing of the web should not affect the security parameters and the criteria of convenience. Portable staircase for the roofing device should be:
The listed requirements correspond to the staircase with the mounting bracket, echoing through the rib roof. Such factory production products are equipped with wheels facilitating movement on the skate.
To install them, you only need to roll the stairwell on the scat, and when you reach the skate crest, it is necessary to trust it to reverse it so that its hook-shaped bracket covers the horse and fixed on it.
Factory-producing stairs are made of round or profile metal pipe. They are single-skinned for roofs with a transverse size of the rods up to two meters and multisective, composed of several canvases for larger areas. The manufacture uses steel alloys and aluminum.
Welders who speak the skills of the welder can easily weld the roofing staircase from steel pipe, corner or strip, focusing on the size of industrial products and dimensions prepared for laying the coating or repair.
The metal mounting staircase with the bracket is a descendant of a wooden prototype equipped with the similarity of this mounting hook. Now it is usually built from sawn timber, in extreme cases use rounded. At the price of I. technical characteristics Spruce wood fits flawlessly. For the beam device, 50 × 150 or 100 × 150 mm board is most often used. For the construction of steps, a bar 30 × 50 mm or a pole diameter is on average 60 - 70 mm.
In order for the self-made wooden staircase to do not scratch and damaged the coating, lining from felt is made under the edges of the beams. Instead, it can be sewed and attached to the bottom face of the instrument 4 small pillows stuffed with rags, cotton wool or straw.
You can make a simple wooden staircase for the roof in several versions:
The length of the self-made wooden staircase is selected so that the length of the contact with the rope of the web was shorter than it by about 10 cm. The crossbars are installed after 300 mm, the recommended distance between the beams 400 is 450 mm. Before making the roofing staircase, of course, it is better to make her project and think over what method is better to arrange a canvas and bracket.
A neatly made portable staircase with a spice can be operated, as stationary, if you attach to the crate through a coating 2 - 3 additional mounting hooks. They will be needed to fix the canvas so that it does not demolish the gusty winds.
Before installing, it should be precisely measured by the distance between the crossbars, which will rely on the hooks to "landing" to all points turned out to be dense.
The mounting hooks will help turn the usual staircase into the roofing option. To do this, they are fixed to the crate after 1.2 - 1.5 m, and then simply "hang" the staircase canvas. Note that one point of attachment for stability is not enough. It is desirable that the position of the canvas is fixed 3, at least 2 hooks, but in the latter case the roofer will also need insurance.
The easiest and cheapest way to turn the usual staircase into the roofing stepladder is to put the board with a large nail nail around the opposite skate. The cloth of the upper crossbar must be hooked over the nail. If the slope is not too cool and there is confidence that such a design will withstand the weight of the wizard, you can use. 
Stairs for permanent use fixed on the roof after its arrangement are needed to ensure the exit for the inspections of the roof and performing repair operations. They are needed to maintain other systems located on the outside or crossing the design. Among them, ventilation devices, smoking pipes, external blocks of air conditioning contours, antenna, etc.
The stationary roofing staircase by analogy with the previous one can be bought for the assembly and installation in the form of a set of finished parts or make independently of wood or metal. We will analyze the fundamental principles of facilities from the factory production modules, based on which in terms of size and the compound scheme, can be made homemade design.
Stairs for maintenance, repair and cleaning of snow deposits with roofs are installed by fixing to the crate, less often to the rafters.
In any case, the roofing holes are formed to set the mounting points. Therefore, errors in the location of the canvas, its dismantling, transfer and similar actions are extremely undesirable. It is better to foresee everything in advance, assess the situation and choose a thoroughly thoughtful place.
The choice of place for stationary fastening of the roofing staircase should consider:
The approach to the stationary staircase can be positioned from the front of the front or on the roofing sink. The first of the specified location scheme is more complicated in the implementation, because Requires a clear exhibition of the canvas in the horizon. Most often, the staircase is installed on the skat: it is simpler, but also requires a thorough study of the solution.
The selection of the location of the stairs is influenced by the type of crate, which is directly related to the roofing coating applied in the arrangement. After all, brackets can only be attached to a solid base.
Under bituminous tile, for example, it is suitable for solid flooring, because the installation of the stairs can be carried out almost anywhere. Under the metal tile, a rarefied lamp is constructed with a step of 30 - 35 cm, and the fixing of the staircase must be attached to the reshet.
During the design period, it is necessary to decide whether a used staircase will be used, providing a safe rise and switch to roofing or bedding. The location of the facility constructed relative to, ventilation rims, chimneys, etc. is thought out. Deciding with the location of the ladder, you should calculate the length of the canvas installed on the skate.
Most roofing staircase manufacturers supplies a web in two sizes: 1800 (1860mm) and 3000 mm. The canvas can be increased to the required length by connecting sections and crop over with hacksaw. It should be remembered that all manufacturers are forbidden to cut the stairs with a polymer coating with a grinder.
According to the rules, the stairwell must be attached to the roof and to the skate run, but the last measure is not mandatory. For fixing to the skate bruse, produce a special type of fasteners. They are made in the form of an elongated metal strip with fastening jacks. During the installation period, the roofing bracket is partially started under the skiobal.
With the use or refusal of fastening to the skate, it is necessary to determine the stage of preparation of the project, because:
Fastening brackets to skates are released for different types Roofing. According to the standards for each flight section, 1.8 m should have 4 fasteners if the installation is made on metal tile, a professional sheet, ondulin, ceramic or bitumen tile. For fixing the web, 3 m will need 6 brackets.
On the folding roofs, the stairs are mounted using specialized brackets fixed to the standing fold. This fastener is placed in the center of the section, set up approximately 1.5 - 1.8 m. Use it as an addition to a conventional scope brackets or to plastic legs, depending on the recommendations of the ladder manufacturer.
Mounting work begins with the preparation of details of the future staircase to the installation. If necessary, the canvas are cut from that edge, which is located opposite crimp. The connection of the canvas is performed by the method specified by the manufacturer of products.
Mounting operations are carried out from top to bottom, i.e. in directions farmery Sve. To the top of the roof - the skate. Fixation to the crate through the coating is performed by the scores of 8 × 50 mm with nuts and tightness with plastic washers.
Step-by-step execution Works:
Scope stairs are not designed for resistance snow load. Above them, it is recommended to install dotted snowstores, redirecting precipitation flows. If the devices for protection against avalanche-like sloping of the accumulated snow mass are not provided, stationary fixed canvas should be cleaned regularly.
The facade staircase structure is an optional procedure. Its function will be successfully performed by the palm of the analog. However, the device will significantly increase the degree of safety of the roof of the roof, especially since the finished modules for the facade part are equipped with comfortable handrails.
The length of the facade canvase is calculated so that its upper stage is located directly opposite the edge of the cornese swell. Deviations are allowed at height in the range of 10 cm in both directions. Between the earth's surface and the bottom of the beams of the ladder should be a distance of no more than 1 meter.
The sections are also increasing and shortening by trimming with knife. The assembly of the canvas is produced on Earth, upstairs are raised to the top. Brackets designed to fix the vertical staircase on the wall attach the clamps to her beams. Install them in pairs with a step of about 45 cm. For fixing the brackets, the fasteners are selected in accordance with the type of material from which the walls are folded.
For reliability, the upper mounting pair is duplicated with hanging brackets recorded on rafyled. Such a method redistributed the load and remove the excess stress of the design when the stairs rise.
After installing the main part, the handrails join, for attaching which the bolt M 10 × 35 mm is used to the beams. The opposite side of the handrails attach to the roof or to the beams of the pitched staircase with the help of the brackets available in the kit of the facade staircase. If desired, the length of the handrail can be cut traditionally by trimming.
The tension of the fasteners of both the pitched and the front part of the ladder in the first operating year should be monitored at least three times. If the fixation points do not need additional tightening and strengthening, in the next time it is enough to carry out one inspection annually.
Assembly and installation instructions:
Plot about the manufacture of wooden roofing stairs:
Nuances of own production:
We have given ways independent manufacture Installation stairs and installation of stationary analogs will help to equip the roof, significantly improve safety when the roof is out.
Owners of private houses and cottages often perform various works, being on the roof of the building. The necessary device in such cases is the roof staircase. This design will allow you to clean the roof or produce its necessary repairs in the most comfortable and safe conditions.
To perform its functions qualitatively, the roofing staircase must meet the following requirements:
The stairs for the roof are portable and stationary. Both species can be represented by teams or solid metal structures. Tree is also good material For the manufacture of such stairs. It is easily possible to make a product with your own hands.
Episodically used when needed. Supplied simplest system Fastening making it stable.
There are a number of requirements for such products:
A universal option is a staircase for a roof, throwing through the horse. Such stairs models are very conveniently moved along the roof ramps due to the roller system, and it is also easy to fix with a hook-shaped bracket.
Such a roof staircase is usually made of aluminum and steel alloys. Constructions consist of one or more sections and have a length of 2 m or more.
Such a roof staircase is mounted on the desired section of the roof, usually not far from the chimney. To install this design, the roofing material must have sufficient strength and stability to point loads, and the angle of inclination of the roof should not exceed 25 0.
Stationary structures are often element special metal system, mounted along the skate crest and allowing to move on the roof to all communications. Such a system often complements the roofing wall staircase.
The stationary staircase for metal tiles is attached to the brackets with a rubber gasket, it is necessary to seal the connecting nodes.
You can easily collect the finished staircase and install without welding without applying the fasteners that go to it in the kit. However, this design can be made independently.
Roofing staircase for metal tile can be successfully made of wood. The best option there will be larch or other coniferous breeds. The tree must be treated with an antiseptic. You can use conventional olive. The screed of the elements is performed using nails or screws.
The length of the structure is usually 10 cm less than the length of the skate. The recommended width is 40-45 cm. If the roofing material has a wavy shape, then the width of the ladder must be calculated in such a way that the design gets vertical racks to the bottom of the waves.
Consider two models of a portable staircase.
For making march, you need:
For support, it will take 2 brus 3x10 cm with a length in the width of the design and 4 boards 3x15x30 cm.
The screed of all items should be made very high quality so that the staircase is reliable. The reference section is mounted at right angles to the march.
This option is distinguished by the dimensions of the elements, as well as the design of the support on the horse.
For march, you will need:
For support:
All structural elements are securely tightened and, if necessary, is further fixed by the twisted wire, as shown in the figure.
Portable outer staircase on the roof may well be used as stationary. For this, additional mounting hooks are recorded on the crate through the roofing material (2-3 pcs.). The ladder cloth clings for them.
Manufacturers offer various options Ready roofing structures. Considering the size and individual parameters of the roof of their home, the assembly and installation of the roofing staircase can be done independently
Such staircases are collected from the finished elements and are attached to the crate or rafter. The installation involves drilling holes in the roofing coating, so the attachment points must be defined without errors so that the design does not have to be transferred.
It is very important to choose a place to install. To do this, consider the following:
At the next stage, the length of the staircase is calculated. On sale you can find a staircase with a length of 1.8 or 3 m. In order to get the length necessary for a particular roof, you can connect the sections or sprinkle the extra hacksaw.
The mounting of the canvas is carried out to the crate, and in some cases additionally to the rod of the roof (in this case special metal fasteners are applied).
The mounting option affects the length of the canvas:
Depending on how the coating lies on the roof, the type of brackets is selected. This information is indicated by the manufacturer of accessories. Each section of 1.8 m long is set at least four brackets.
For a folding roof, special fasteners are applied to the standing folds. They are mounted in the center of the canvas at a distance of 1.5 m from each other. Such mounts are installed in addition to standard fasteners or special plastic supports. Method of installation is usually indicated by the manufacturers of stairs.
When the design is prepared in length, start assembling, ranging from the edge of the eaves and moving in the direction of the skate. Screed screws with nuts 0.8x5 cm and plastic washers for tightness.
Installation includes several stages:
We particularly note that such ladder structures may not withstand the load of snow cover, so the installation of point snow-settresters is recommended above them.
The roof staircase should provide a simple rise for various kinds of preventive and repair roofing work. This is the main functional task of all types and types of stairs.
Reliability and strength of construction, safety in operation, compliance with the architectural appearance of the building - important components in the design and manufacture of stairs of any kind and type.
Sometimes the developer comes up to the question of the device of the staircase as an optional additional cost.
The roof staircase has a number of useful features.
Argument in such cases is serious:
But, at first glance, quite a logical substantiation of unnecessary or extremely rare demand for the ladder on the roof of the house is refuted in practice.
Saving on the device of auxiliary roofing structures through time leads to tangible losses.
In this video you will learn how to make a roof staircase:
Regular preventive inspection
It is carried out in order to visually identify and prevent emerging prerequisites for the roof leakage, such as:
- corrosion of fasteners;
- partial separation or detachment of roofing coatings as a result of the impact of the element;
- the appearance of pollution and the accumulation of foliage foliage in places of structures;
- the formation of a long-melting nappy, changing the direction of water flow;
- clogging of the drainage system;
- weakening fastenings of skate elements;
- violation of thrust in removal devices of furnaces, fireplaces and other thermal equipment
To ensure the normal functioning of all home systems, the roofing staircase is necessary.
Performance of repair and additional work
Even with the perfectly performed roofing device, an emergency may occur when the leakage sees or replacing individual roofing elements. Often this situation requires an operational response. A timely made ladder for roofing or properly installed stair construction of the house in emergency situations will avoid considerable costs and trouble.
Often, it is necessary to improve comfort and ensure the safety of the house. There is a need to install, replace or repair additional structures and devices located on the roof. These include
- antennas and similar devices;
- chambers of tracking and control devices;
- thunders;
- lightning protection devices;
- chimneys and pipe elements;
- fluger or flagpole type devices.
To perform work with such elements, sometimes a sufficiently high portable ladder (for the lifting) and the ski staircase (for work on the roof surface).
Types of stair designs
Staircase lifting structures can be:
- Wall, wallpapers: necessary for lifting and descent.
- Scope - apply to perform roofing.
- Emergency are appropriate to the name appointment, they are required for structures with windows located above 3.5 m.
Main requirements for products: low weight and high strength parameters.
They are manufactured in the industry in a wide range, a large variety of models and various combinations of materials used for manufacture.
An inexpensive solution for many roofing can be made independently or purchased wooden design.
For metal tile coatings
Wood products are not harmonized with a coated metal tile.
Easy and durable aluminum marches are most often installed on such roofs. For reliability, they are fastened with the roof at the bottom of the metal wave. The firms that implement metal tiles are offered the finished staircases with identical color.
Purchase roofing staircases for metal tile is necessary in size or longer. The extra part is cut off with a metal with a metal.
The grinder cut the colored structure is not allowed due to the violation of the painting layer and the subsequent corrosion.
For each type of roof, you can find the appropriate staircase
Metal profile
Roofing stairs "Metal profile" are adapted to any types of roofs and coatings, they are great and to perform repair roofing works.
Their advantages:
- guaranteed long-term operation;
- universality of fasteners for all blood varieties;
- compliance with standards and safety standards;
- certification of all elements separately and products in general.
Security
Any roof staircase made in factory conditions or independently must comply with safety standards and standards. For example, GOST determines that roofing stairs should be manufactured based on the following norms guaranteeing safe operation Products:
- the location of the lower stage of the stairs cannot be higher than 1 m from the ground level;
- the highest point of the march should be recorded using special reinforced fasteners;
- the distance from the wall should be no more than 130 cm and at least 20 cm;
- the stairs must be located near the window in the affordable proximity.
Staircases belong to high-risk products during operation, so each line of standards determines their most secure use.
It is especially worth allocating special fire standards:
designs should be covered with anti-corrosion compositions; the use of toxic chemical materials in coatings is prohibited; steps do not have to delay snow and water; with the height of the product 6 m and more fencing march necessarily. Independent manufacture of prefabricated design
Work on the roof without a mobile staircase is not only difficult, but also dangerous: the stair march can damage the roofing material when performing repair work.
Solving the question of how to properly make a reliable staircase for the roof, it is based only on the indicators of their convenience and safety:
- the crossbars are made from the bar - they stand much more convenient for them than on the boards;
- necessary frequent location of the steps interferes with the work and gives additional march weight;
- the fastening of steps should be made on nails, bending and bleeding them on the other side - it is much reliable use of screws;
- the increase in the hook in the design contributes to increasing the reliability of the march fixation, which means security for the artist.
As a reference point, you can use any similar factory manufacturer.
How to make an easy staircase for safe roof work
The ladder for working on the roof is easy to make independently, if you follow the above descriptions and recommendations:
- the design consists of two tents and cross-steps;
- for the TETIV, a timing of 50 × 70 mm is used;
- for the crossbar on the assets installed on the ribs are made for steps by their width;
- steps are also made from a bar with a thickness of 30-50 mm;
- the distance between two parallel gutters is selected arbitrary, user-friendly;
- it must be a multiple wave in cases where the roofing coating is made of a wavy material;
- steps in the required quantity are cut by parts equal to the distance between the external edges of the TETIV;
- steps are launched into the prepared marbles flush with the outside of the guards and nail to them;
- nails should be clogged by three from each edge of the stage;
- screws are not recommended to use, since they break from loads on the break, and not bent like nails;
- to engage the march for the roof ridge, a hook is made of thick boards, which are inserted with nails with a length of 150-200 mm to a march at an angle of the roof of the roof;
- the hook must be at least 30 cm long;
- the angle must first be measured using the transport;
- to facilitate the work on the hook and march, you can make a template of an angle from cropping boards;
- if the hook is not enough for a stable fastening of a march on a skate, then with back side The skate to it is attached to the counterweight board.
There are many recommendations for roof stairs
The staircase to perform various repair work after their execution can remain upstairs if it does not worsen appearance Constructions.
Otherwise it is removed, and the best place For its storage can be the end wall of the building. In a convenient location on the wall, a hook is arranged, and the product is suspended until re-operation.
Assembling staircase
The roof staircase is going on Earth:
- at the top of the assets attached brackets for the skate;
- the roof supports are fixed in 2 m under the crossbars;
- the installation length should be equal to the bottom of the roof of the roof;
- the product rises to the roof and is attached to the top boards of the root.
Wooden staircase On the roof is also assembled and fixed on Earth:
- the rules and supports on the walls are attached to the breakage;
- brackets for a combination with a cornice are attached to the top wall supports;
- the lower crossbar of the wall march should be located at a distance of 1 m from the ground;
- upper crossbar - at a distance of 10 cm from the cornice;
- the wall march rises and fastens with the roofing marches of the brackets;
- installation is fixed in the upper and lower part of the root;
- transitional bridge is arranged on similar mounting elements.
It is possible to manufacture a roof staircase with your own hands in other options:
- from various bias wall march;
- with support for solid lower base;
- with additional expanded platforms or without without them;
- with the device of handrails of different height.
Rearrange roofing ladder march They only produce together.
At the same time, one person lifts and pushes the product, sitting on the skate, and the second lifts and pushes the lower part from the ground or scaffolding. Storing the installation in a suspended state allows it to quickly dry after falling out of precipitation.
The roof stairs are not cheap design. But to perform all sorts of work, they are extremely necessary. Their acquisition is always justified. But not every person can afford to give a solid amount for resemblance. Moreover, as practice shows, you can make a similar to the roof of the house with your own hands. It will be necessary to purchase only the material that significantly reduces material costs. What is the staircase on the roof? What kind of similar species exist? How to create a design yourself?
Before you start creating similarity, you need to get acquainted with its functions and decide whether they are, or some of them, for you are relevant:
The need to climb the roof occurs quite often and without the presence of a staircase just can not do.
The staircase to work on the roof is occurring several types, depending on the place of its installation and direct destination:
Made a ladder for the roof with her own hands can be any kind. The main thing is to know what and how to do. You can install one option in your home similar, and everything is possible and immediately. It all depends on your preferences and material opportunities.
Most often, similar to the installation on the skate is used. In order for the roof staircase with his own hands, it is made quickly and efficiently, you need to cook required Material: Tree and nails. If the roof is a wavy material, for example, slate, professional flooring or tile, then the width can be calculated depending on the distance between the waves. Vertical strips must, for convenience, be in the roof deepening, and not on the crest of the wave.
Initially, it is necessary to cut two guides from wooden board, Long little more skate. After that, it is necessary to prepare the steps. Do not make them thin - they must withstand your weight. Their number can be determined based on the length, the stairs and the fact that the step between the steps should be 40-50 cm. The steps to the design is better to mount nails. They will be more reliable to keep the design than self-tapping screws.
A sufficiently responsible and important part of the roof is a hook. It is this element that securely fixes the roof staircase. If you make an error or oversight, then at the most suitable moment it may not withstand loads and break. For the manufacture of the hook, short thick bars or boards and nails are 2 cm. Starting the bars with each other need to be high quality and reliable. The length of the skate should be at least 30 cm. If you do not have experience in creating pitched stairs, how to create a hook correctly can be viewed on the Internet. There is nothing complicated in the creation of this design.
The attic similarity is manufactured by the same principle and leads the attic to the hatch and takes to the roof. The process is not too different. For its manufacture can be selected different material: Wood or metal. No special equipment required to perform work. Each element of the staircase can be done manually at home.
The roof staircase that is installed on the wall is made of metal with your own hands and consists of two parts. Metal - durable and durable material. One part is installed on the roof and is attached to the skate, and the second is installed on the wall. Thanks to security handles, they are connected to a single design, practical and very convenient. Despite the fact that an externally design seems difficult, it is quite possible to make it with your own hands.
A part of the stairs that is installed on the roof is initially fixed on the skate. Where the crossbars will be located, it is necessary to install roofing supports. The optimal step between them is 2m. As precisely, I doubt the length of the stairs - there should be no excess. After that, the staircase rises to the roof and attached to the horse.
The front part is manufactured by the same principle. The length of the stairs is equal to the length of the wall, minutes 1 m. It is precisely one meter from the ground that the staircase for the roof is mounted to the wall with their own hands. It is necessary to connect the handrails and wall supports with a step in 2m.
The design should be high quality, and therefore its elements need to be reliably fixed.
Each design is quite simple, if you figure it out in the concept of its device. Everyone can make it with their own hands. The main thing is to show attentiveness and responsibility. From how carefully all the design details will be collected, the reliability and safety of the use of roofing stairs will depend. The roof stairs are indispensable in the farm and their device is quite justified to ensure the safety of the work performed on the roof.
