Snow guards are an absolute must for metal roofs—especially here in the Pacific Northwest or in any snowy climate.

Follow along as we share pro tips and tricks to make your installation smooth and efficient: Protecting your gutters with a simple pool noodle hack—scratches are the last thing you want! Clamping and aligning with a 6" overlap for maximum effectiveness. Drilling pilot holes with a 3/16" drill bit on both sides of the snow guard for clean, accurate installs. Using an awl punch for precise screw holes in the field—each rib, front and back. Securing both sides of the snow guard (front and back) with 1" self-tapping screws, 1/4 head, for a firm and reliable hold. This system is quick to install—each 10' section takes about 10 minutes. Whether you’re tackling a new project or maintaining your metal roof, these tips will save you time and hassle.
