Protect people, pets and possessions from avalanches of roof snow with these snow guards. Guards are available in recycled stainless steel, brass, copper, zinc, aluminum or polycarbonate.

Manufactured in snowny Vermont, the guards are strategically mounted on a home's roof, and break up massive clumps of snow and ice into smaller pieces. The guards can be installed on any type of roof -- slate, asphalt shingle, metal, tile or wood. The company recommends professional installation by a roofing or gutter contractor.
