Roof Snow Shed

Position them along sections of the roof or in gutters to prevent icy build up.

Roof snow shed.

The roof should be designed with overhangs large enough to provide protection for the walls and windows below. With expansion and contraction of the metal it is difficult to attach snow retention devices into the roof decking without causing a roof leak or slotting of the metal panel from the snow bracket fastener. Roof slopes lower than 4 12. Protect your valuable outdoor items from the coming winter.

It makes sense when designing a metal roof to shed snow not to keep it on. Invest in heating cables to help the snow slide right off your roof s back. Avoid areas that will trap snow and lead to excessive accumulation especially on the north side of the roof. The flip side to this is that it also becomes more expensive to build both in materials and logistical difficulty.

Some general guidelines that we try to adhere to. Our extensive collection of snow load rated sheds are specially reinforced to protect against roof collapse brought on from snow or ice accumulation. But keep an eye on your energy bill and be sure to unplug them when warmer temperatures arrive. Basically the steeper the pitch the better it can shed snow and rain.

Don t wait any longer.
