I'm about 200 pounds and I can walk on the roof of my 21BHS with no problem.  It is a 2013 with the aluminum roof.

Rob,

Our units were never actually rated as a walk on roof however that is how the A/C's are installed.

Thanks, I don't have a need to walk on the roof other than to clean or maintain it 1 or 2 times a year...

I just installed 2 MaxAir vent covers on our new 16BHB with the membrane roof. At 210# I kept my weight mostly over the rafters but a few times had to kneel between them. The roof fel plenty strong to support my weight.

I am 160 lbs and walked around on my 21BHS installing fan vents, it is a 2016 with the aluminum roof.

The manufacturer likely rates it as zero weight for liability concerns.

Ditto others' on roof support. I installed fan covers on our CL21RBS membrane roof with no problem.

How about the new TPO roofs? I need to get up there to install an easystart on my AC unit. Should I lay down plywood to stand on or should it be ok? Thanks

Ply would not needed just walk on the ribs. I'm 185 pounds and have done a lot work on the roof, new vents, 4 solar panels, moved antenna I even added a ladder to get up and down when traveling.
I also have walked, knelt between the ribs and it flexes but holds. Will be adding a kayak rack soon.

Any pictures of the ladder you added? I've been thinking of doing this too.

Greetings to my fellow players across the Great White North! I've been exploring various slots online lately and stumbled upon a discussion about volatility and payout structures. Someone suggested The Dog House Megaways as a solid option for those who like a bit of a challenge. I gave it a spin and was pleasantly surprised by the fluidity of the play. It's a reliable choice if you are looking for a session that keeps you on your toes without being too complex.
