Agreed, you can't beat the real thing. However, buildings aren't always available so we built a roof simulator with the ability to change the pitch to a 12/12. The size of the work platform is about 20' by 16' and we have two framed out areas so we can drop-in pre-made panels of sheating with roofing felt and shingles. This way we reduce the down time to replace the roofing materials. A few drywall screws hold in the panels and after the cuts are made, pull the screws and drop in a new panel. The prop is large enough that we can also train on cutting from the bucket (tower ladder bucket). This had turned out to be an excellent training prop.
