Metal Roof Snow Guards
Metal roofing is highly vulnerable to snow falling off without warning. Other common issues include sliding ice curling into windows, damage to roof and sheathing from falling snow/ice onto lower roofs, and uneven snow build-up from sliding.

Snow guards should never be used as a quick solution to situations that can be litigious and a costly nightmare to the owner. Despite being a small component of building needs, snow guards should be taken seriously and custom solutions should be considered a necessity.Snow retention systems are strongly recommended for metal roofs specifically. Unlike other roof materials, metal roofing is highly vulnerable to snow falling off without warning. Other common issues include sliding ice curling into windows, damage to roof and sheathing from falling snow/ice onto lower roofs, and uneven snow build-up from sliding.
Building owners are economically and personally responsibility for installing snow-retention systems on buildings in snow-prone areas. In many cases, these systems are not included during initial roof installations because of the additional cost and lack of awareness (of the dangers associated with not installing a system). Investing in the right snow management system will eliminate liability charges, prevent property damage and reduce threats to pedestrian safety.
