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 F Technical Guide

Tile Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket F has been engineered for use with wood shake shingles and slate roofing.

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 or slate. Snow loads vary. Check with the local building department to verify the snow load for your area.

TRA-Mage Snow Bracket or Snow Guard F can be installed on existing or new construction.


INSTALLATION


After wood shake or slate has been installed on the deck, place Snow Bracket F on top of wood shake or slate with the triangular end of bracket flush with the bottom end of wood shake or slate course. Nail the bracket in place with four (4) 2" roofing nails in holes provided on the bracket, through roof sheathing. Proceed up roof, covering nail end of bracket with next course of roofing.
