Project Ideas
Business

Include a 10–15 minute safety briefing video and a pickup/delivery option. Charge a deposit, include pre/post-use inspection, and sell consumables (anchors, edge pads).
Permanent Roof Anchor Install + Orientation
Offer installation of discreet, code-compliant roof anchors and leave clients with a labeled 50 ft lifeline and quick-start guide. Bundle annual inspection and re-certification. Ideal for property managers, solar owners, and HOAs seeking safer maintenance access.
Small-Contractor Compliance Package

Holiday Lights and Gutter Service (Safety-Forward)
Market premium seasonal light installation and gutter cleaning that uses visible, compliant fall protection. The 50 ft lifeline adapts to many rooflines with temporary anchors. Emphasize safety credentials to win higher-margin residential and boutique commercial clients.
Niche E-Commerce Lifeline Kits
Curate trade-specific vertical lifeline bundles (roofers, chimney sweeps, facility maintenance) and sell online with clear sizing, 310 lb capacity guidance, and ANSI/OSHA references. Add how-to content, inspection tags, and optional add-ons like rope bags and edge guards to increase average order value.
Creative
Roof Safety Kit-in-a-Box
Build a compact, weatherproof kit that organizes the 50 ft polydac lifeline, a rope grab, shock-absorbing lanyard, roof anchors, edge protectors, and a harness. Add a laminated quick-start card, inspection tags, and a rope bag. The snap hook makes fast anchoring to approved anchors. Keep this for roof coating, chimney work, and solar cleaning. Always inspect before use and retire any component that shows wear.
Fixed Ladder Vertical Lifeline Upgrade
Convert a tall fixed ladder in a shop, barn, or silo into a safer access point by adding a rated top anchor and running the lifeline alongside the ladder. Pair it with a compatible rope grab so climbs are hands-free with fall arrest protection. Add a labeled storage hook and a simple inspection checklist at the ladder base.
Treehouse/Loft Safe Access Line
Install a rated overhead anchor in a loft, mezzanine, or treehouse access point and hang the 50 ft lifeline as a vertical fall-arrest line. Use a rope grab during climbs or while working near edges. Include a small wall-mounted bin for the rope bag and a tag noting the last inspection date.
Rooftop Photo/Film Safety Setup
Assemble a dedicated rooftop photography safety kit using the lifeline, soft slings for parapet or structural anchors, edge protection, and a compact harness. Create a workflow card for anchor selection, tie-off, and edge management so quick rooftop shoots stay OSHA/ANSI compliant.
Nautical Railing from Retired Rope
When a lifeline reaches end-of-service (per inspection criteria), repurpose the rope as a decorative deck or garden nautical handrail. Use the steel snap hook as a functional gate clasp. Clearly mark the rope as retired and never return it to fall-protection service.
