Abstract: A non-skid holder for shingles for use on a pitched roof and method of making it. The holder is made from sheet metal and has one end upturned to a position at right angles thereto in order to guide shingles placed thereon. A handle is secured to the upturned end and to the underside of the metallic sheet. The handle provides additional lateral support for the holder when positioned on a roof in the event of tipping of the holder. The holder is provided with a non-skid undersurface by securing a rubberized or plastic material thereto. Preferably, the non-skid surface material is adhesively bonded to the undersurface of the holder and is wrapped in continuous fashion around the corner between the upturned end and the bottom of the holder. In one form of the invention, the non-skid surface covers the entire bottom surface of the holder and in another form the non-skid surface is applied as strips along the marginal undersurface of the holder.
