Can the kit be used with 8-foot lengths in the roof?

I don't see why not, so long as you cut all your boards to the same scale. I did something similar with another shed I built.

It might, but the longer the board the more it weighs and will wobble. The ends of 2x4s do not flush against each end.

Sure. You will have extra brackets etc. but no reason not to make it smaller.

The nails or screws, that the brackets use with the wood, will have too much stress during high winds. The weight of lumber, for small to moderate frame is all these brackets can withstand.

YES , NO PROBLEM . Have my unit on my roof , cord is long enough. Great product !

No! In theory -- sure -- but lugging it up a ladder, handling its weight on a slippery surface and controlling the depth of stroke so you don't damage your roof would make it very impractical.

It will be outside the design specs (and building code) for the prodiuct. The rule of thumb is 1 foot per inch of rise so you really need an 8 foot ramp.

It has been designed to be used as an 8 ft unit......if you want something shorter then look at the 4 ft version.

It is better to have at least half of the antenna above the roofline. Consider the 4 ft version.

I'd have to set it up to be sure. But I can almost guarantee you it isn't tall enough. I think the extending frame/ truss structures spanning across the width and diagonals would prevent you from standing anything 8' tall in there. You might be able to get creative and put the four feet on some type of stand to lift the whole thing up though. Not sure how goffy that would look.

About 4" inches from the center of the pipe at the top of the roof on a 6/12 roof. You will need extensions that extend the cap higher, see local building code for required total height (note is depend on the distance from the top of the roof) I place 2 - 48" extensions with bracing on my roof. But some roof may require less. The kit does not contain any pipe except the piece that transitions the roof.

it depends on the pitch of the roof. though you should be able to place the hook on the side of the vent if it does not clear. the hook itself has approx a 5" raduis, so that give you about ten inches of clearance.

It's simply a 5' steel pipe so yes, technically it's fine. If combining two and extending 10' high or so, I'd be a bit concerned with stability of the tripod roof mount. Anchor those 3 feet really well.

The length of the part itself is 8" and when installed it stands 8" above the roof line.

I used it for my old FJ 40 and only needed about 8". The problem with the low ceiling is you have no way to pull a vehicle back in if the shell stays there. I was able to get my roof within 6" of the ceiling.

The distance to "get" something between the shell is 6 ". It will not be easy to put something with 8" high. In any case you would need to squeeze at least 2 inchs

It doesn't come with 8 feet of chimney. It fits ceiling heights of between 8-8.5 feet. Meaning you use the 2 stainless pieces to make up the distance to the ceiling from the top of the hood.

Our ceilings are 8' and we were able to adjust accordingly. Hope this helps.

The kit has everything you need. Depending on the roof you have you may have to bend a little and drill some holes. Once installed it's a great value and good quality

It appears to be two 4ft sections. If you don't need the full 8ft, you could probably cut them down to fit a smaller vehicle
