Fences and Snow Brackets are different in their application and the way they retain snow on the roof.
Aesthetics should be considered when selecting your product.
A snow retention specialist can help you select the specific snow fence or Snow Bracket needed for your project.
Snow retention fence systems prevent rooftop avalanches.
Snow fences fasten directly into structure, decking, or clamp onto standing seam metal panels.
Fences act as a barrier and have different characteristics than Snow Brackets.
Snow Brackets are designed to prevent the snow from moving, not to catch the snow as it moves, which makes the engineered placement of the brackets extremely important.
Snow Brackets are designed to create a blanket effect, allowing the snow to freeze in place and allow for drainage of melting snow.
Brackets cover a larger surface area of the roof, from eave to ridge, and are placed in a staggered pattern.
When design rules are not followed for retention systems, the system can fail, creating more damage.
TRA created design rules to ensure your snow retention system will safely and effectively retain the snow.
Our systems are engineered and verified by professional engineers to ensure the accuracy of our calculations.
Ground snow loads are measured in pounds per square foot or kilopascals.
Ground snow loads can be found in structural plans or by contacting your local building department.
Accurate ground snow load information is crucial to the proper engineering of your snow retention system.
Ensure the information you provided to the snow retention engineer is accurate and the warranty registration is submitted.
When snow retention is installed per the engineered layout, the system is then warranted.

Rooftop Snow Retention Solving the Mystery with the Facts
Approximately 1 hour
This course provides a review of the problems, safety issues, and solutions associated with snow and ice moving on roofs, particularly in heavy snow accumulation areas. It also provides in-depth training on the proper engineering and installation of snow retention systems.
For architects looking for a continuing education credit, TRA Snow and Sun’s American Institute of Architects approved courses, “Innovative Rooftop Snow Retention Solutions“ (free course AIA 1hr HSW) and “Let It Snow: Modern Snow Retention Systems“ (free course AIA 1hr HSW) are sure to help you stay up-to-date on how to best serve communities in snow-covered states.
Heavy snow, while perfect for skiing and snowball fights, is less than ideal when it glaciates and moves on roofs. Despite the many damages that snow and ice moving on roofs can cause to a building and its occupants, there are currently no codes or standards for snow retention systems in the United States or Canada. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss various solutions for snow and ice moving on roofs, including design practices and roof types. Design professionals will learn how to ensure modern snow retention systems that utilize brackets and fences are properly engineered to efficiently and safely retain snow in order to protect a building, its occupants, and its surroundings.
At this time, there are no national or state codes relating to snow retention for roofing applications, even in the heaviest snow load areas. Consequently, it is very important for building professionals to take extra care when designing a snow retention system for installations in snowy environments. This course provides a review of the problems and solutions associated with roofing in cold climates, including a discussion on the proper engineering of snow retention devices. There are many dangers involved if the appropriate considerations are not made while building and maintaining a roof in an alpine region.
As a homeowner, you want to protect your roof from ice damage during the winter and prevent costly repairs. TRA Snow & Sun offers a solution to this problem: ice guards. Let’s take a closer look at what they are and how they can benefit you.
Ice guards are devices made of aluminum or stainless steel that attach to your roof to prevent snow and ice from sliding off and harming people or damaging any property below. They provide a barrier where ice dams can form, making sure that the ice and snow remain on your roof.
Ice and snow sliding off your roof can cause significant damage to your property. When the snow slides off, it takes shingles, gutters, and siding with it. Ice can also damage cars and people below. Rather than having to spend money on frequent repairs, you can install ice guards to protect your roof. By using ice guard products, you will protect your property and loved ones.
You don’t need any special tools or equipment to install ice guards. They come with simple instructions, and you can easily install them yourself or hire a professional.
Whether your roof is shingle, metal, or flat, ice guards work with different types of roofing materials. They are robust and offer a great solution to solving snow and ice from avalanching off your roof.
