INSTALLATION FOR TILED ROOFS
1.
To install the LadderLink simply remove roof tiles at the desired location.
2.
Place the ladder bracket onto the batten, ensure a rafter is centred below the ladder bracket.
3.
Adjust the ladder bracket so the rolled section is centred over the gutters front edge, as shown in the diagram
below.
4.
Once the ladder bracket is in the desired location, install three (3) x 65mm 12g hex head roofing screws through
the ladder bracket and into the roof batten below (recommended to pilot drill holes).
5.
Cut a short tile batten to fit as a spacer under the ladder bracket between the rafter and ladderlink.
6.
Using one (1) x 100mm 14g hex head roofing screw, anchor the ladder bracket to the rafter below
(recommended to pilot drill holes). This should be centred and installed 50mm down from the top edge of the
ladder bracket (see below diagram).
7.
Ensure that a minimum of three (3) x 12g 65mm and one (1) x 14g x 100mm roofing screws anchor the ladder
bracket to the structure.
8.
Ensure the timber structure is secured in accordance with current Building Codes.
