We've got tiny hosereels attached to the the lift on both sides so most of the time when we pull hose on a roof we just put the lift higher than the pony wall on the roof and take off walking with it.
But over the past year we've gotten a lot of buildings we can't reach with the lift and have to pull the hose over the side of the wall. I've tried all kinds of things, mounting a tiny hosereel to a clamp and clamping it to the pony wall - doing something similar with a hosereel guide, etc.
But many times the roof has a decorative gable or whatever you call it that makes the pony wall 3 ft thick and I don't have anything to attach the apparatus to.
Now I'm thinking maybe if I could find some kind of heavy material like a semi-hard rubber I could just lay it over the edge and just pull it over that. My problem is some of these roofs have a curve to them and the hose tends to make burn marks on the roof as we pull it.
Any ideas?
