5 minute demonstration video.
These existing horizontal lifeline systems are being removed (because they simply cannot successfully transfer forces to the structure without the structure failing). (23) V-18 permanent ridge anchors are being installed prior to the roof restoration work beginning on this dormitory.
This video shows how lateral blocking is added so the building structure can successfully resist a 5,000 pound force parallel to the ridge.

We installed this V-18 at the beginning of this extensive repair project. This home will get another V-18 in the middle and one near the far away chimney. Wood blocking will be added between the rafters adjacent to the anchor location.
