Installation Instructions

Single Ply 2-Pipe Fence-Style Snow Guard Bracket with Base Plate Installation Instructions

Single Ply 2-Pipe Fence-Style Snow Guard Bracket with Base Plate system is comprised of 3 parts:

  1. Aluminum 2-pipe fence-style snow guard bracket upright
  2. Target flashing (not supplied by Rocky Mountain Snow Guards)

Installation of the Base Plate:

  1. The Stainless Steel Base Plate is placed on top of the finished roof system and located as indicated on 

    the snow retention plan provided by Rocky Mountain Snow Guards.  Generally, the snow fence system 

    will be 12” from the eave edge.  The base plate is positioned with 3 attachment holes at the top.
  2. The base plates are fastened into place with 5 fasteners of the type recommended for the specific job 

    conditions.  The Drift II Single Ply bracket is usually fastened into solid wood blocking on insulated 

    roofing systems although fastening through wood decking is also acceptable provided there is no 

    insulation between the decking and the membrane.

  1. The Target Flashing must be of the same material as the roofing system.   
  2. Each Target Flashing should be a minimum of 12” x 12”.   
  3. Holes are cut through the Target Flashing to correspond with the upright studs on the Stainless Steel Base Plate. 
  4. Apply sealant around each upright stud and push flashing into place over the studs. 
  5. Heat seam, tape or glue the Target Flashing to the roof membrane as required by the membrane manufacturer.

3)

Installation of the 2 Pipe Aluminum Upright: 

  1. Slide the upright over the upright studs. 
  2. Tighten the supplied Stainless Steel nuts.
