Use a sturdy extension ladder that extends at least 3 feet above the eaves to climb onto the roof and secure the bottom to the foundation and the top to the eaves or fascia so it doesn t move. This will reduce the risk of your ladder slipping and you falling off your roof and getting injured. This tool will give you a sturdy and level base to place your ladder on slanted ground.
