Rows are staggered and spaced approximately 12” apart depending on course spacing of roofing material. ST Series Snow Guards are placed 24” O/C

within rows.

Additional rows of ST Series Snow Guards may be necessary to stabilize the snow in some conditions:

  • On longer roof decks
  • Steeper roofs
  • Slippery roof surfaces such as slate, synthetic products and metal
  • On roofs in heavy snow load areas

Contact Rocky Mountain Snow Guards for a recommended ST Series Snow Guard layout if any of these factors are present.
