Heavy Duty Saddles Exchange
Check this box if this order is for a contractor.
Our heavy duty roof riser brackets feature professionally-engineered construction and a black metal powder coated finish. The SkyLift hardware brackets are a simple, strong, secure roof attachment method that protects your roof warranty and can increase the height and/or pitch of your patio, deck, or pergola roof cover giving you the tools to create the ideal outdoor space.
Each heavy duty riser bracket is constructed with a ⅜” thick steel base with room for eight 3” fasteners, two welded triangle gussets at the base of the 2” steel riser post for lateral reinforcement. Topped with a “U” shaped steel saddle and collar cap with corresponding through bolt and hardware, this saddle has room for another eight 3” fasteners, four for each side. You will be able to choose from our selection of heights and saddle sizes to match the structural requirements of your dream designs.
Heavy Duty Roof Risers
Heavy Duty is built for projects that demand extra strength and stability. It is the better fit for heavier roofing materials and more demanding conditions, including but not limited to higher wind and seismic requirements, longer span distances, and larger residential or commercial builds.
Is Heavy Duty Right for You?
Best for: Heavier roofing materials, adverse weather conditions, and patio covers larger than 200 sq ft.
Not ideal for: Lightweight residential builds where Standard Duty already meets your needs

Designed to pair with the correct flashing approach for a clean, weather tight roof penetration when installed correctly.
