Rocky Mountain Snow Guards offers snow guards for metal roofs of all types and snow fences for metal roofs including standing seam and metal shingles

Rocky Mountain Snow Guards has the most experience with DaVinci synthetic roofs of any snow retention manufacturer. We know what works because we have observed both excellent and poor performing snow retention systems. We condensed that knowledge in our snow retention guides for each DaVinci product.

This is a brief summary introduction of the 3 different types of metal roof snow retention systems, Snow Guards, Fence-Style and Bar-Style snow guards. The article discusses products manufactured by Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, S-5!, Alpine SnowGuards, Zaleski, SnoGem, Polar Blox and others.

Snow Guards installed on a recently finished project in the Lake Tahoe area at the Fleur Du Lac Estates.

Snow retention is a system designed to create friction or a barrier between a roof surface and snow/ice in the winter.

The patented SnowTrapper snow guard design has been manufactured and installed since 1997.

Snow Fences by RMSG are a great, cost-effective solution to snow sliding off of roof solar panels. Snow collects BELOW the panels, making sure there is no shadowing of the solar panels, while protecting the area below the roof.

Snow build-up on solar panels is different from other types of roofs. Snow compacts more and gets heavier, tending to slide off all at once, often needing special snow retention.

One of the many requests we see all the time has to do with snow retention for solar panels. In most areas, solar installers will design a solar array without any consideration as to snow retention and slide mitigation.

In the Nutcracker's "March of the Toy Soldiers," legions of well-organized army members stand side-by-side to aid the Nutcracker in his battle with the King of the Mice. With similar precision, snow guards installed in a "soldier row" pattern are adept at uniting to encourage snow retention on roofs.
