A lot of people ask us about snow bars and what we do. This video is how we stop an avalanche on your metal roof. We use a snow retention system made by dynamic fasteners called dyna guard. It is very user friendly and performs great. Snow slides or avalanches on your metal roof can be dangerous and harmful to whatever is under it.
Let me know what system you guys have either used or like that maybe we should take a look into.

Suggestion: add a snow stop just above the plumbing vent. If enough snow is shedding off the roof to damage a light fixture, the snow will eventually destroy that vent pipe as well. Snow stops (or diverters) above vent pipes are typically wedge shaped similar to a cricket above chimney. Great content and keep up the good work. 😊

Always depresses me to watch how detail oriented you are. I shopped hard for my post frame builder and they still didn't do half the stuff you do to protect the building (muddy work boots on the roof, scratches everywhere from when they dragged panels across each other, etc). I hope your customers appreciate your efforts.

Metalmasters in Mchenry IL manufacturers snow gems and various other snow retention products. The Dynamic fastener system is very good. We usually close a corner of the face of the bar so the black strip of metal doesnt slip out with the wind. Awesome video!

I tried throwing bars over individual doors and air conditioners in the past and it worked, but the part of the bar that is left unsecured floating on the ends always ended up bent up by heavy snow sliding next to it. In the end I just put bars down the entire line and haven't had any problems. Definitely agree that throwing something above the vent pipes can make sense as well. I've had a chimney pipe get ripped out mid roof one year. Anything at the bottom would have been long gone. Depends on how often and how much snow the roof gets before shedding as well. Usually here it would build up all winter and only really shed towards spring, so holding it a few extra weeks didn't really change much other than avoiding damages.

I liked the mounting on those snowstoppers. We have some very slippery stone on our roof, and I had to change a few stones each year due to the force/ weight on the snow stoppers, until we had a company install a few extra snow stoppers “mid-roof” and above vents. Just having the forces a bit more distributed with more mounts and more stoppers on the roof made all the difference. I have not changed stones the last 4-5 years.

For as long as I've watched your channel it's been intriguing to me how the rain gutters last. Around here when the snow slides off it usually takes the gutters with it. The stops aren't generally used because of the weight of the snow building up and stressing the trusses. Guessing because heavy wet snow is more common here than dry powder

IMO the gutter is mounted too high. Most installers want to be right up at the eave line to prevent overshoot of water. In snow conditions the gutter has to be in the sweet spot where water gets caught but snow can slide over the top. I’m in NW Montana and we get decent amount of snow and I’ve never had a gutter taken down.

Great instructional vid as always. You noted that the bottom row is suggested to be at 12" from the fascia, but your eave overhang should be considered. I believe the manufacturer says that the bottom row should be placed on the roof plumb with the wall below the overhang. This ensures the snow load doesn't cause any failures on long overhangs. I doubt this is much issue on a low slope like yours, but the snow on my 12:12 roof transfers a significant load to the snow guards. Just my $0.02

Very Helpful!! My house has a 12:12 pitch also, and was built in 1938! One of the best things about this antique (aside from 8' ceilings) are the 2 1/2' eaves. Very cooling in the summer. I need to look at the interior roof structure again, but to set bars too far out would definitely do damage. I was only about 5 minutes away from getting caught in a 4' deep snow avalanche myself. I know we need protection. Thanks!💜

Finally an answer how to prevent this. We have an exposed fastener metal roof that is 25yrs old. We bought the house 5 yrs ago and have had 2 really bad snow winters since we got here - our first winter and last winter. OMG the avalanches of snow - have crushed 3 BBQs on the patio, ripped all our gutters off, ripped out all the vents on the roof (now venting through the walls). When we bought the house the seller had what they called snow breaks on the roof - turns out it was only drip edge that was used as a break. That wasn't good enough - the sliding snow has ripped almost all those off (a couple are hanging bent half on/half off. Wish I could get you to come fix ours.....

One thing to take in to consideraton is the snowload. If you do live in an area with a lot of snow, you should have snowguards on each side of the roof, so you dont get uneven distribution of load on the roof. But as always, great vid:)

12 inch pounds = 1 foot pound. Need a different torque wrench but the easy way might be to tighten one screw down with the torque wrench once, then check which setting on the impact driver most closely matches it. 10-13ft. lbs = 120 to 156 inch pounds so there is some wiggle room. just a thought on it.

use sno-jacks or snow gaurds or sno jax there are a million names for them. The are a small plastic device about an inch and a half wide that looks like a self sticking out perpendicular to the roof. They are held on with an adhesive. They do hold the snow in place for a while, but what they are really good at is breaking up the snow sheet that is sliding down the roof. breaks up the snow, so it doesn't get heavy enough to do that sort of damage.

simple and minimally invasive ... the fixing system without drilling the sheet metal is excellent ... no water infiltration. generally in our area it is preferable to install the bars along the entire eaves line and shaped steel plates riveted on the rib of the plate are used. I'll ask you a question: here in Italy we have the obligation to install fall arrest systems on the roofs made up of poles and ropes or plates or hooks (at the designer's discretion) for any future maintenance. Don't you have this obligation?

Kyle, do they make these systems for sunshine? I live in Arizona, and during the hot summers here, sunshine really accumulates up there and then just comes pouring over the edge of my roof. The rain gutters really do nothing to stop it. It can become quite uncomfortable if you get caught underneath it. I once saw a guy get an instant sunburn when he was caught under the sunvalanche. He was lucky he didnt get heat stroke. Plus then you have to spend hours shoveling that sunshine off your walk. Now if there were a way to catch all that accumulated sunlight with my solar panels... Anyways, thanks for the video guys. I enjoy and appreciate your content.

My front porch has been ripped off the ledger and the amount of snow built up around the house is currently touching the flattened gutters. What a nightmare!

Help me out here guys / gals: wouldn't you not want these in areas where snow loading could be an issue like in norcal right now? I mean I see the deliberate use here and think it's a non-issue in this case, but it makes me wonder.

I mean would you rather have the snow slowly fall off in small chunks, or after a heavy snowfall, a day later have all of it fall off at once? Like in socal it should be removed by hand when it gets to a point or trimmed off. But the stuff happeneing in socal is so unexpected no one was prepared for it so most metal roofs dont have them out there i think

@Josh re: norcal I think unexpected depends on how long you lived there - the old timers say this is normal - everyone else who moved into the hills in the last 10 years was caught off guard!

@Persistent Wind its just that it normally doesnt snow there every season. I live in vancouver bc, and we rarely get snow but with the small snowfall we do have, most people go crazy (i grew up in a place where it snowed 6 months of the year so im used to it) but even then its more common to snow here than over there and people are already thrown off here. So even though it does rarely snow there, if it hasnt snowed in the past 5 years there its still completely unexpected because i doubt anyone throws on their winter tires, etc during the "winter months" while there or store their exotic cars for the winter months.

Snow avalanches off those metal roofs can dent up cars. They can also injure people and kill small animals like cats and dogs. They should be required by code in snowy areas.

Get yourself a couple of suitable torque wrenches, you may need to prove you used the specified torque values to ensure you validate the manufacturers warranty. Those battery operated drivers are good, but not for ensuring the torque values are correct

Here in Sweden “snörasskydd” are mandated to have over every entrance, so a lot of options exist. One popular example, for standing seam roofs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCpk42XbpejqLM

What brand do you recommend then? Planning to have somebody install standing seam metal roof on my house and we get a lot of dry snow up here in Southern Alberta, Canada. I probably need some snow guards too.

Too bad the website and company that makes these are a horrible company. They have bad customer service and when trying to buy these they won’t help you to get the right clamps. Oh well.. go with another company I guess
