In Ontario (Canada), heavy snowfalls and freezing rains are very common. Once snow begins to slide off your metal roof, it can cause significant damage to the roof, eavestroughs, landscaping, vehicles and pedestrians below. Roof snow guards and ice guards for metal roofs are designed to keep snow on your roof until it can safely melt and dissipate.
If you are constantly dealing with snow avalanches or falling ice, metal snow guards are the perfect snow retention system for both residential and commercial roofs. At A&K Metal Roofing, we are full service snow stoppers installers for metal roofs in Peterborough Ontario. The roof snow guards we use are tested to withstand even the heaviest snow loads.

When it comes to snow guards for metal roofs, there are three different types (snow guards, fence-style and bar-style snow guards). The type of snow guard your roof needs depends on a number of factors. All snow guards will prevent snow and ice from avalanching, but certain ones will work better for different slopes and styles of roofing. Let's take a look at each style below.
→ SNOW GUARDS
→ FENCE STYLE SNOW GUARDS
→ BAR STYLE SNOW GUARDS
These people think of “snow guards”, these guards commonly come to mind. They are individual units that are attached in a staggered pattern, usually to the flat part of the metal roof but can sometimes be clamped to the seam. To keep them in place, they can be adhered with liquid adhesive, tape or screws. Snow guards are suitable for use on standing seam metal roofs, through fastened metal panel roofs, and most metal shingles.
Snow guards can be referred to by many different names including snow cleats, snow birds, snow pads and snow stops. They come in a few different sizes with the most common being small (less than 4 square inches) and large profile snow guards (more than 4 square inches). The most common snow guard materials are metal/steel and plastic.
This type of snow guard is a continuous length of rectangular metal "bar" installed horizontally across the metal roof to form a snow and ice barrier. With their streamlined modern styling, Bar-Style snow guards look very clean on the roof. Depending on the pitch of the roof, the distance from the eave to the peak, and the snow load present, only one row is often needed. Some projects will require several rows to handle the load.
To attach these snow guards onto a roof, installers secure brackets by either screwing them onto the decking or clamping them to the seams (only with a standing seam roof). The bar is then attached to the brackets and firmly set in place.
Fence-style snow guards are similar to bar-style snow guards, but instead of a single bar, these systems have two or more vertically oriented tubes (similar to a split rail fence). Fence-style snow guards are commonly used on custom homes and in situations where home or business owners want a more traditional look.
Most fence-style snow guard systems are extremely durable. These are widely used in alpine areas where snow loads exceed 75 pounds per square foot and can be much higher.
