Guardian Ridge-It Permanent Roof Anchor Point with 2 D-Rings, Stainless and Zinc-Plated Steel
The Guardian Ridge-It is a permanent ridge-mounted roof anchor with two D-rings, giving a tie-off point on either side of the roof. It is designed for new residential construction and installs quickly, with a butyl strip that helps seal the fastener holes. One anchor is included per order unit, and it is also suitable for metal roof installations.
Key Features:
- Dual tie-off points: Double D-rings span the ridge to provide an attachment location on either side of the roof.
- Lightweight design: The lightweight body lets workers carry multiple anchors for quick installation across the roof.
- Corrosion-resistant build: Stainless and zinc-plated steel construction is made for long service life outdoors.
- Sealed installation: An integrated butyl strip helps seal the anchor holes for permanent installs.
- Metal roof capable: The anchor is also suitable for installation on metal roofs, not just shingle.
- Immediate protection: Once installed, the anchor offers immediate fall protection tie-off across the roof area.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: How many tie-off points does this anchor have?
A: It has two D-rings that span the ridge, providing a tie-off point on either side of the roof.

A: Stainless and zinc-plated steel, chosen for long life in outdoor exposure.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The Ridge-It is a go-to choice for new residential reroofs where a permanent anchor is wanted: install it during construction, and it tucks under the shingle course for a low-profile finish. Because it serves one worker at a time in fall arrest, plan anchor spacing so each worker's travel-restraint or fall-arrest path stays covered. On steep-slope metal roofs, verify the fastening pattern against the roof panel type before install.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and local fall-protection regulations, and never exceed one worker per anchor in fall arrest.
Order the Guardian Ridge-It 2 D-Ring permanent anchor for reliable tie-off on both sides of the ridge.
