RoofSide Standoff

RoofSide Standoff is a lightweight, adjustable platform that attaches to the roof ridge or eaves without penetrating the roofing material.

Key Features

Adjustable width and angle to fit different roof pitches
Lightweight aluminum frame with slip-resistant platform
Quick setup and takedown with no tools required

Target Users: Contractors and DIY homeowners who need to safely access exterior siding, gutters, or upper walls on sloped roofs

Revenue Model: $199–$299 per unit retail, with optional rental program for $39/day
