I suspect they wouldn't hold up, but does anybody know for sure?


Roofs in this area of NJ are designed for a snow load of around 30 pounds per
square foot.


Surely they're designed to hold more than that over a smaller area than the
entire roof, though. Otherwise you couldn't even think about standing on them.

I expect they're stronger in Iowa, but they're still not designed to hold a
typical small plane.


No doubt.
