I even have the same roof, nonetheless it replaced into purely redone. My house is very almost 200 years previous, and that i will walk around on the roof with out situation. Assuming your abode isn't in a serious state of disrepair, and the roof seems reliable, i does not hardship too plenty. purely supply it a experience first jointly with your palms. Push down and notice how reliable that's. in case you experience soft sufficient, supply it a flow. As long there are actually not any serious structural defects (wherein case you have an more suitable situation besides) then maximum roofs will carry your weight, they sometimes ought to be reliable sufficient to hold snow, that could get fantastically heavy. (i weigh 300lbs, and my roof holds me wonderful, we've a three tale abode, so the roof is up there, its cool to flow accessible each sometimes.) reliable success!

The roof is probably engineered for about
40 lb. / sq. ft. average load.
1 ton is not too much load, provided that
an adequate pad spreads the weight, but
with joists at 60", I would suggest you have
your structural guy review the intended
placement of the pad and load..
