Snow guard

They are most commonly installed in multiples or rows on a structure's roof surface, as a form of avalanche control.

Snow guards are installed with a specific quantity and pattern based on the shape, size and pitch of the roof to provide the most uniform system of retention possible.

Variants of snow guards have been used for over 300 years all around the world where seasonal snowfall is common.

Although primarily installed for functional purposes, panel guards and snow railing are sometimes used to highlight a roof's aesthetic appeal and design.

In addition, many manufacturers have developed snow guards and systems for metal roofs.
