Installation Guide Safety Anchor Roof Extenda
Roof Extenda works with its manufacturers to produce a quality product. Roof Extenda has both electroplated mild steel & 316 marine grade stainless steel brackets available.
The zinc electroplated brackets have a top coating. Roof Extenda cannot provide any guarantees on the lifetime of the brackets and recommends the following:
- Roof Extenda recommends a qualified installer to seek advice from a coating manufacturer if brackets are to be coated prior to installation.
- Check brackets annually.
- Clean and coat if required with a cold galvanized paint which can be purchased at most hardware stores. This can be easily applied to the exposed surfaces of the brackets.
- If brackets show signs of corrosion they can be replaced by a builder.
If installing Roof Extenda shade sail anchor in a highly corrosive area we recommend the installer has the bracket coated in an appropriate anti-corrosive coating.
