TRA Snow Brackets and MAGE Industries joined forces in 2004 to become TRA-Mage. As a specialized manufacturer of high quality roofing accessories, the founders of TRA Snow Brackets have been actively engaged in optimizing roof protection for many years- developing durable products for effective performance in extreme conditions. You can prevent damage to gutters, penetration, and valleys by using the snow retention for all roof types from TRA-Mage and high quality tile roof accessories. Combining our snow retention systems, ventilation tapes, flashings, and bird stops provides a comprehensive product base for roofers, architects, and builders who want roofing accessories that work! Through years of extensive research, we have engineered products for venting ridges and eaves, flashing walls, and trim-junctions for tile roofs. Our snow retention systems, for all roof types, have been tested, engineered and designed from the sheathing up. The result is a unique combination of products created from the proven technology of years of experience on two continents. TRA-Mage, Inc. is located in American Fork, Utah and is a leading provider of advanced Snow Retention systems and rooftop products for buildings in alpine areas. Our snow brackets or snow guards and snow fences have gained international attention, and have been selected by many builders and property owners as an effective means of retaining snow on the roofs of their buildings. |

| TRA-Mage was founded by Terry Anderson, the owner of Anderson Associates Consulting. Through his work with Anderson Associates Consulting, Terry began to research a solution to all the common problems he saw caused by sliding snow and ice on roofs. Traveling to Europe, he studied how they successfully dealt with snow and ice. From their example of using cold roof systems and snow retention devices to keep the snow on their roofs, he came back to the US and designed snow retention devices for all types of roofs. He has had great success with ski resorts such as: | |||||

Beaver
Creek, Colorado, Sun Peaks Canada and Grand Targhee Ski Resort in Alta,
Wyoming. Terry's Snow Brackets or Snow Guards have been specially designed
with each roof type in mind. They can be used on new construction or as
retrofit on existing roofs. His snow brackets have been tested to a fail
point by Brigham Young University's Engineering Department. From these
tests, BYU created special charts to determine the number of brackets
or guards needed per roofing square based upon the roof pitch and the
area's snow load. TRA-Mage has had great success with their Snow Brackets or Snow Guards and Snow Fences keeping snow on the roof, and therefore preventing much roof damage to the buildings on which they are applied. Terry is very much involved with his company, making sure that all customers get the help they need to know how many brackets will be sufficient and what layout will successfully keep the snow and ice from sliding. Through his leadership and expertise, TRA-Mage will continue to help stop roof damage from being a costly yearly problem. |
