Snow guards 

In regions that receive snowfall throughout the year, installing snow retention systems on roofs can help prevent heavy snow drifts from falling onto vulnerable people who might be walking below. Each year, many people fall victim to horrible avalanches like these, which can easily be prevented with proper safety systems like snow guards.

Snow guards are permanent mounted systems designed to protect both people and property, allowing for accumulated snow to melt and shift off the roof in controlled, smaller segments that are less destructive and dangerous. Brands like Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, TRA Sun & Snow and S-5!® have created lines of snow retention systems and snow guards designed to protect residential and commercial buildings from heavy snow falls.
