Running PW hose on top of commercial carpet

so I am returning to a sizeable project that I did the gutters for last year and they now want building washed. They have 2 courtyards in the centers of each wing. Op Manager suggested throwing hose over the roof. I don’t like that at all. Vibrations and gutters, length of hose to go over etc. So I’m planning on going through some side doors. Well there’s about 50’ of turns and such over carpet per entrance. Should there be any concern of vibrations burning or wearing the carpet? I’m thinking maybe wrap it with pipe insulation?

Over roof and protecting gutters from abrasion works for me.

Buy a section of carpet cleaning hose. For the part that will be on carpet. I believe 3000 or 3500 psi is as high as it gets but you should be fine

Depends on the type of fiber the carpet is made of. Some will melt just sliding furniture over it. You typically want to stay away from olefins, polyesters, and a few others. Typically a nylon holds up well. But, like it was said above get some different hose.
