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.

Bracket J Technical Guide
Tile
Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket J has been engineered
for use with Metal/Granule tiles which are installed using horizontal
battens. The horizontal batten should be nailed on 6" centers
through sheathing with minimum 16d galvanized nail. Custom lengths
are available.
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 tile. Snow loads vary. Check
with the local building department to verify the snow load for
your area.
TRA Snow Brackets can be installed on existing or new construction.

After metal tile has been installed on deck with 2" x 2"
batten, install the J bracket with the triangular end towards

into through hole in the snow bracket through hole in Metal/Granule
tile into 2" x 2" batten a minimum of 1 1/4".
