This is a heavy-duty solid copper snowguard that's slid into place under existing slates and hooked on an existing slating nail on an already installed slate roof. This retrofit snowguard has a longer reach than the Berger Brothers #100 series by a full inch. This allows the snowguard to be more easily used on roofs with 24" long slate and on graduated slate roofs where the lower slates are large.
This is a good all-around retrofit snowguard for use on roofs with any size slate. The solid, low-profile face prevents the bending and twisting often seen on snowguards with higher profiles, while still retaining snow loads. "Retrofit" snowguards are designed to be added to already existing slate roofs. Regular snow guards are designed to be installed on new slates roofs when the slate is being installed.
FOR RAFTER LENGTHS UP TO 16 FEET: Traditionally, in the Midwest for over 60 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. In the northeast, snowguards are typically installed at every other slate horizontally, and staggered at every horizontal slate course or every other horizontal slate course vertically, with 3 horizontal rows minimum.
FOR RAFTER LENGTHS OVER 16 FEET: The number of rows is increased with rafter lengths over 16 feet and with roof pitches greater than 6:12. OTHER FACTORS Increased snow load in some states require additional SnoGuards per square farther up the roof.
