Roof snow guards and snow fences are designed to help keep snow on your roof, helping to prevent sudden, potentially dangerous releases of snow and ice. These specially-designed metal devices are mounted directly to the roof structure, forming barriers and adding extra friction to keep snow in place until it can safely melt and dissipate.
