   If you use them and a length of pipe between them it will work just fine .

   In that picture the 2 x 4 was just resting against the vice grip clamps .

   Not to be done by those not experienced.

   The S 5 clamps will have a hex nut to lock onto the standing seam and the pipe goes thru the openings  like the 2000 or 4000

   Are any of those designed to be used as a ladder base?

   We often use sheet metal tool vice grips for the same purpose. Clamp them on and run a 2x4 against them.

   Hey - your cap will go out tomorrow. I had trouble with the paperwork. Finally got some help from a real person at UPS. I just emailed you an invoice. I missed by $2.http://www.quittintime.com/      View Image

   Don't worry about the $2, LOL. This whole job is a thousand times that much over budget already....

   I saw the picture of the chase in the other thread. Looks great. I'm gonna give you a call in a bit. Gotta get off this damned 'puter....

   I would be cautious about creating any sort of access setup like that. If something happens to someone working on it, you'll be on the hook.
