Then, when at least two roof mounted anchors are mounted on a ridge of a roof, and the base members of both are formed to match the ridge of a roof, and a cable, of a length to allow a limited sag, is positioned along the ridge of the roof and anchored at the respective ends thereof to the respective roof mounted anchors, the main anchoring components are installed.
