Snow Guards: Slate Protection

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

For use with slate roofs, this gothic-styled snow guard is offered in bronze (as shown), aluminum and glavanized malleable iron. Rated by the manufacturer as a "heavy-duty snow guard," it's recommended for areas that experience serious snowfalls.

The manufacturer recommends spacing the snow guards in two groups of three rows (staggered) on 24" centers.

No. 95 snow guards for slate roofs measure 1/8" x 1" x 12".

Prices in October 2006 were $10.25, $10.75, and $21.35 (aluminum, iron and bronze).
