Instruction Steps:
1)
Minimum Rocky Guard Eave Row
The row at the eave is the minimum requirement for all roofs. Rocky Guards are spaced approximately 12” O/C and are located on second course of roofing material at or near the load bearing wall.
2)
Additional Rows (if required)
Additional rows of Rocky Guards may be necessary to stabilize the snow on longer roof decks, steeper roofs, slippery roof surfaces such as slate, synthetic products and metal and on roofs in heavy snow load areas.
Contact Rocky Mountain Snow Guards for a recommended Rocky Guard layout if any of these factors are present.
