Q: What is The Big Boy Bracket designed for?
A: The Big Boy Bracket is a heavy-duty, non-penetrating standing seam roof bracket designed to support a 12" aluminum plank and create a wide, stable work platform on steep metal roofs. It’s built for professional crews who want a strong, comfortable staging area for installation, service, or maintenance work.

Q: What types of roofs is The Big Boy Bracket compatible with?
A: The Big Boy Bracket is made specifically for standing seam metal roofs. It clamps onto 1"–2" snap-lock or mechanical standing seams without penetrating the panels, which helps protect the roof from leaks, scratches, and structural damage when installed and used properly.

Q: What load rating and pitch range does The Big Boy Bracket have?
A: When installed correctly and used with proper fall protection practices, The Big Boy Bracket is typically rated for up to 300 lb per bracket (wet or dry). It adjusts from about 3/12 up to 24/12 roof pitch, using a crank-style mechanism that lets you fine-tune the plank angle so your work platform stays level and comfortable.

Q: Will The Big Boy Bracket damage the metal roof panels?
A: When used as directed, The Big Boy Bracket is designed to avoid damage. It uses a non-penetrating clamp and protective rubber pads on the base and sides, helping prevent scratching and denting of the standing seams while still providing a solid, secure grip on the roof.
