Are you sure you want the halo to run through your rebar? I'd worry about it
slipping off the roof entirely. Seems to me that you're better off with a
shorter halo, running lines from the rebar to reach it. I don't know, I'm
speculating, but I'm interested in the answer because I'm using a halo for the
first time this year.
Also, 95-lb. rope seems pretty light to me. Anyone else?
Cheers,
Steve Upstill
