Overview

The Bedding Frame Extendable is a heavy duty plated steel frame that extends from 3.9m to 6.1m, covering standard and larger roof spans in one tool. The telescopic body adjusts to the run you are bedding, and an integrated locking mechanism holds the set length securely. It removes the need to carry several fixed length frames.

For a roofer who works across houses and larger commercial roofs, the extension range is the whole point: the same frame beds a 4m ridge in the morning and a 6m one in the afternoon, and collapses down for the drive between jobs. It is the frame to choose when the run length varies and you do not want a truck full of fixed sizes.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Bed the ridge with a 20kg bag of roof tile mortar, finish with a pointing trowel and level off with an 8 inch gauging trowel. See the Tile Roofing Tools range for more. Check the locking mechanism holds before you start each section, and on a long span have a second person steady the far end while you set the lock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length range does the extendable frame cover?

It extends from 3.9m to 6.1m, which is 13 to 20 feet. That covers standard house ridges up to large commercial roof spans, so one frame replaces several fixed length units and adjusts to the run on the day.

How do I set the length?

The frame extends telescopically and the locking mechanism holds the set length. You adjust to the run, lock it in place, and it stays secure while you bed the ridge. It collapses down for transport and storage, which is what makes it practical to carry between jobs.

Is it strong enough for a long span?

Yes. The listing states a heavy duty plated steel body with corrosion resistance, built to support bedding and pointing work across the full 6.1m extension without flexing the line. The locking mechanism is the part to check as it wears with site use.
