How to Install Roof Jacks

February 15, 2026

Roof jacks create a stable, level platform on sloped roofs by securely nailing temporary brackets directly into rafters through the sheathing. Using proper structural fasteners driven through every designated mounting hole ensures the plank holds your weight without shifting or buckling. Once your work is finished, the jacks are carefully unhooked or removed, and all nail holes are sealed with roofing sealant—and you can find links to all the mentioned materials and tools below.
