Snow Brackets and Guards

Snow Retention Case Study: It’s not just our motto to provide Engineered Solutions. We really DO IT! Northwest Montana home addition with high snow load (100 psf); how do you retain snow on a cedar shake roof with a 12/12 pitch, whilst keeping it economical, aesthetically pleasing, and in line with the existing design? Using the information provided, we increased the thickness of the copper from the standard ¼” to 3/8” and designed a 3 rail snow retention system (D3H Deck Mount Snow Fence) specific to the project – cedar shake, 12/12 slope, copper, attaching to 16” OC rafters. Copper was used to match the decorative end caps on the heavy timbers in the construction of the building.
