Roof Rakes with Wheels
Amongst the innovations in design of snow roof rakes, comes the ingenious one with wheels. This rake will never come into direct contact with your roof meaning that there is absolutely nor risk of harming the roofing material. Also it can easily leave a protective layer of snow on the roof that will ensure that ice dams don't form if there is more snow falls. With the wheels easy navigation along the roof is assured making one save energy. A snow roof rake can come with either a blade or a slicer for getting the snow off but in both cases, the wheels protect the roof from the apparatus. The motion of the rake is enhanced as it can cover snow going forward and backwards hence the task can be completed faster. The weight of the Roof Rake.however needs to be light enough not to impede its movement on the roof.
Last year I had a problem with ice dams on my roof.
I have a 4′ overhang.
Last year I used a roof rake and pulled as much snow off as far as the roof rake would reach up the roof but it almost killed me.
Do I need to reach that high, or do I only need to do a few feet past the overhangs?
