Project Ideas

Business

Weekend Roof Safety Kit Rentals

Rent out residential fall-protection kits (lifeline, 5/8 in rope grab, harness, shock lanyard, ridge anchor, and instructions). Offer Friday–Monday pricing, optional delivery, and a short on-site briefing. Include a QR code for setup videos and digital waivers. Upsell roof brackets, toe boards, or shingle pads.


Residential Anchor Install + Training

Provide permanent or temporary roof anchor installation and a 30–45 minute homeowner training on safe tie-off, rope grab use, and inspection. Leave behind a tagged 25 ft lifeline, compliance paperwork, and a fall-clearance chart. Offer annual re-inspections and re-certification as a subscription.


Solar/Gutter Service with Visible Safety

Differentiate a solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning, or moss removal service by branding around OSHA/ANSI-compliant fall protection. Technicians deploy the vertical lifeline on every job; market it as a ‘Safety-First’ guarantee with before/after photos. Command premium pricing and reduce liability.


Fall-Protection Compliance + Gear Bundles

Sell OSHA/ANSI-compliant roof kits to small contractors: 25 ft lifeline, 5/8 in rope grab, harness, shock lanyard, anchors, and inspection tags in a weatherproof bag. Pair with a paid on-boarding session, site-specific fall-clearance worksheets, and a QR-based inspection log system.


Pop-Up Training and Demos

Run hands-on demos at hardware stores and trade schools using a training stand to show proper lifeline setup, connector checks, and rope grab operation. Sell kits on-site, book anchor-install appointments, and offer a discounted first inspection to convert attendees into customers.

Creative

Rooftop Safety Kit-in-a-Bucket

Build a grab-and-go roof work kit using a sturdy 5-gallon bucket with a custom foam/ply insert to neatly stage the 25 ft polydac lifeline, a compatible 5/8 in rope grab, harness, shock-absorbing lanyard, and a removable ridge anchor. Add a checklist lid decal and QR code to your digital inspection log so every deployment stays OSHA/ANSI compliant.


Lifeline Storage Reel + Inspection Station

Make a wall-mounted reel with a smooth-radius drum to store the 5/8 in lifeline without kinking. Include a fold-down inspection tray with a built-in ruler, bright task light, and dry-erase board to note dates, snap-hook gate checks (3,600 lb rating), rope wear points, and cleaning. Keeps the rope clean/dry and speeds pre-use inspections.


Ladder-to-Roof Clip-In Assist

Create a telescoping pole with a captive carabiner guide that lets you clip the lifeline’s locking snap hook to a pre-set ridge anchor before stepping off the ladder. Add a quick-release cradle to store the pole on the ladder and a hi-vis flag on the anchor point to verify connection from the ground.


Treehouse/Deck Build Safety Setup

Set up a temporary vertical lifeline anchored above the work area while building or maintaining a treehouse or elevated deck. Pair with a 5/8 in rope grab and harness to maintain 100% tie-off during cutting, decking, or railing install. Create a laminated site plan showing anchor location, fall-clearance, and swing hazard notes.


Photo/Inspection Roof Workstation

Assemble a compact roof-access kit for photographers, drone pilots, and inspectors: the 25 ft lifeline, rope grab, harness, and a lightweight ridge anchor with a soft gear bag that won’t scuff shingles. Add a camera tether point and a mini tool lanyard board to keep accessories secured while moving on pitch.
