SnoBar RCB-3 is mounted with the universal-fit RoofClamp RCT.
It fits many more standing seam roof panel profiles (see clamp comparison) than our standard stainless steel bar clamp. The mill SnoBar is a galvanized Gatorshield®-coated 1" square bar. It is safely and securely fastened to a standing seam panel with the patented aluminum RCT RoofClamp, using three stainless steel cup-tipped set screws. The RCB-3 SnoBar features top-loading bar brackets for fast installation. RCB-3 SnoBar systems can be designed for most standing seam roof systems. Mill-finish 6-foot kits are in stock and shipped fast via ground shipping. Large and custom orders are usually shipped in 12-foot lengths and packed in crates that are shipped via LTL freight. Sample Bar Kits for submittal purposes are available for purchase.
RCB-3 SnoBar Snow Rails are Safe for Standing Seam Metal Roofs
This product is perfect for standing seam metal roofs with its one-piece aluminum clamp featuring 3 non-penetrating cup-tipped set screws. This SnoBar rail design runs the length of the roof and ensures no risk of damaging roof seams with screws or holes. The SnoBar prevents rooftop avalanches that can lead to damaged gutters, HVAC units, cars, patios, and even injuries.
RCB-3 Snow Bars Have Great Strength and Durability
SnoBar features a Gatorshield®-coated bar that offers great strength and durability. This product also features super strong "cup-tipped" stainless steel screws, not slippery "round nose" screws. The strength of this product has been proven in both laboratory and field testing.
Easy to Install, SnoBar is Top Loading
Exclusive low-torque aluminum roof clamps combined with aluminum top-loading brackets make this the industry's fastest bar system to install. Fewer parts mean less labor!

About SnoBar-ColorBar
Don Drew and Dick Riddell invented SnoBar in 1992, making it the original standing seam-mounted snow rail. It was unique enough to earn a patent in 1993. Jim Huff installed the initial version, named Sno Horse, at the Denver International Airport in 1992. Jim Huff devised a way to make an aluminum bar with a channel to slide a piece of metal into the face plate based on a concept from name plates commonly found on office desks. The Sno Horse product later became known as the ColorBar, which features quick installation with a patented drop-in clamp to attach the bar. Roof clamps to attach the bar are available in stainless steel or aluminum. Standing seam metal roofs have utilized the SnoBar system longer than any other snow rail product. There is a SnoBar and ColorBar snow retention system for every sloped roof prone to snow slides. Both snow rails can be powder-coated to match your metal roof.
