Hoffer Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Is there any general angles, height and foot support dimensions for the average rooftop prop? I want to build one for practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The few that I have shot from were built on a 6-12 or 8-12 pitch and anywhere from 6 feet to 12 feet tall. The steeper ones had toe boards. Even shingles are slick in the winter with frost on them and they get real hot in the summer sitting out in the sun.

promod1385 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Carpet is what I see at most local shoots. Cover it with a tarp when not in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I've shot from several, most 20-45 degrees (angle), and plywood with carpet or a pallet for the surface. Some were made to be "comfortable" some were not. I'd prefer the "not" for practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 One of my guys built one that I think he said is 6-12. It is steep, 6' off the ground at the upper end, and all shingle. No toe board, no carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 A buddy of mine built on that you are able to adjust the pitch by pulling pins and raising or lowering it. HIs has shingles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
