Installation Guide
Roof preparation, fastening and placement
Required surface
Continuous support beneath the metal roofing, using wooden beams at least 1 1/2 inches thick or doubled rows of furring strips where the guards will be fastened.
Fastening
- Cover the entire back of the snow guard base with a non-shrinking sealant, such as ADSEAL4550 by ADFAST or SUPPRA EXPERT by MULCO.
- Fasten the snow guards in the middle of the roof panels using 2-inch #14 (#12) wood screws.
Placement recommendations
- Arrange the snow guards along the roof edge in a staggered pattern or in rows, starting approximately 10 inches from the edge and spacing guards 12 inches apart.
- Use approximately one row of snow guards for every 10 linear feet of roof-panel length: one row for 9-foot panels, two rows for 18-foot panels, and three rows for 25-foot panels.
- The building owner is responsible for removing excess snow.
