Cut a strip off a poly tarp or get a vinyl carpet runner.

I would worry about snagging the shingles unless this had some kind of
standoffs on the bottom. Maybe some D shaped runners.


Yeah, it didn't look like it stripped it clean. I will leave at least an
inch when I build mine.


If you have a metal nibbler you could cut the D shaped feet in the
bottom part of the metal before you break it over, leaving the Ds
sticking down. Quick and clean
Plan B would be to cut out the runners and pop rivet them on the sides
after you shape the scoop.


Just make a tapered thick plastic wedge on the bottom. Run the back of the
wedge on the shingles.
