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 I Technical Guide

Tile Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket I has been engineered for use with all corrugated metal roofs.

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


INSTALLATION


For corrugated metal roofs:
Place the I Bracket with the triangular end of the snow racket on the down slope end of the roofing in the pan of the corrugation. Drill holes through existing holes in the snow bracket and through roofing product and sheathing. Hole size should be smaller than screw threads to prevent the screw from pulling out when stressed. Remove the bracket. Install caulking in holes and on base of the snow bracket. Place the snow bracket or snow guard on roofing, align holes and screw through holes and caulking with a screw and neoprene rubber gasket.
