Roof anchor points are critical to the safe placement<\/a> of your roof on your home. You would need a reliable roof anchor point system<\/a> to hold your roof in place in case of strong winds, rainstorms or extreme storms. In fact, your roof anchor points may actually determine whether your roof will survive a severe storm or not. Storms that hit the United States have already proven that they can be quite destructive. Even though this is the case, it is good to know how you can prevent them from doing damage to your home.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, there are two common types of roof anchor systems; mechanical and dynamic. The mechanical system is composed of steel clips that are used to attach the roof structure to the building or a precast or reinforced concrete slab. This type of anchor is more reliable because it can withstand stronger winds and rains. However, when you are choosing a roof anchor system, you should make sure that you get one that will work best for your particular roof structure. In terms of dynamic anchors, these use an aluminium fall rod that connects to a ground anchor point.<\/p>\n Roof fall arrest harnesses are considered the best type of system for strong winds. These come in both automatic and manual forms. They will also work better if you have extra space on your roof. Compared to the mechanical system, the automatic ones will work best in calm weather. However, the manual fall arrest harnesses will work better when there is a lot of wind on your roof.<\/p>\n
