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.

Snow Bracket D Technical Guide

Tile Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket D has been engineered for use with all asphalt shingles manufactured in the United States, metric or standard. The TRA MAGE snow bracket is designed to be installed as shingles are being installed on the roof.

For optimum assurance that snow and ice will not slide, always use the snow load/slope chart to determine the number of snow brackets per square of shingle. Snow loads vary. Check with the local building department to verify the snow load for your area.



INSTALLATION

The snow bracket should be installed vertically to the horizontal course of shingles. The triangular end of the snow bracket should be placed at the eave end of the shingle. Install four (4) 2" roofing nails in holes of the bracket. The snow bracket should be flush with the surface of the shingle. Continue up the roof, covering the nail end of snow bracket with the next course of shingles.
