INSTALLATION of SnoGuardsTM
RAFTER LENGTHS UP TO 17 FEET *
(1) Traditionally, in the Midwest for over 80 years, SnoGuards have been installed 30" to 36" on center in each row with 3 staggered rows beginning above the outside wall at the eave, i.e. approximately one per linear foot of gutter line. (2) Slate and tile roofs may need two additional rows of snow guards for this length rafter. (3) For standing seam roofing, there should not be less than two per panel. (On the Matheson Court House's copper standing seam dome in Salt Lake City, the roofer installed 7 of our snow guards per panel.)RAFTER LENGTHS OVER 16 FEET *
(4) The number of rows is increased with rafter lengths over 16 feet and with roof pitches greater than 6:12. (5) Call or write for details.

* NOTE: Consult your architect or engineer to assure that you are not exceeding your building's "dead-load" limits within the snow-belt, especially in mountainous areas with heavy snow loads. (Example: Chicago may have 25 to 40 pounds per square foot, but some mountain areas can have snow loads as much as 165 pounds per square foot!)
