TRA-Mage - Snow Brackets or Snow Guard G for Flat Seam Metal Roofs, Retrofit Wood Shakes, Slate, etc.

At TRA-Mage, our snow brackets™ are engineered from the fail point of the roof system. Through proper testing and research, we have developed unique engineered charts. These charts calculate the number of snow brackets required and their correct distribution as provided in a roofing square layout based on the roof surface type, sheathing type and thickness, snow load, and roof slope. Brackets are available in copper, aluminum, paintlock steel, and painted steel.
