Rocky Mountain Snow Guards offers several copper snow guards for slate roofs. Our SnowTrapper (ST) line includes the ST18 for new natural slate roofs and the ST16R for existing roofs. The new Yeti line includes the Yeti 18 and the Yeti 16R.
Snow guards are primarily used in areas of high foot traffic but they're also used to protect any property from sliding snow and ice avalanches from roofs.
A Snow Fence Snow Retention System can dramatically diminish the risk of injury or damage resulting from a rooftop avalanche, while still maintaining the aesthetics of your roof and can also last as long as your roof itself.
