Always check with the panel manufacturer to confirm the compatibility of our snow retention systems.
Tip: Always install pad-style snow guards in multiple staggered rows across the entire roof to evenly distribute the snow loads. Space multiple rows of snow rails evenly as they go up the slope of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions about Snow Guards for Above Metals
Yes, the 15-inch flat Above Metals, minor rib, and striated panels are compatible with our clamp-on snow retention and adhesive-mounted snow guards.
For the Above Metals 5V Crimp panel, we recommend metal snow guards, such as the SnowCatcher or SnoCleat PBR that screw down, or polycarbonate snow guards, such as the SnoBlox, Snojax, Icejax, or Ecojax, that mount with adhesive or fasteners.
Adhesive-mounted guards are suitable for most Above Metals panels that have flat surfaces at least 1.5 inches wide. Always follow our installation spacing guidelines and check with the panel manufacturer for warranty information.
Screw-Down Snow Guards: On the 5V Crimp exposed fastener panels, use #14 exterior-grade screws with neoprene washers positioned beneath each screw head. This type of snow guard screw ensures a watertight seal and long-term durability on metal roofing applications.
Clamp-Mounted Snow Retention Systems for Standing Seam Panels: On the Above Metals mechanical seam and nailstrip standing seam roof panel, select a clamp-on snow guard or snow rail equipped with stainless steel cup-tipped set screws for secure attachment. This low-torque set screw prevents roof panel damage while delivering safe, maintenance-free snow retention across standing-seam metal roofing profiles.
The Above Metals standing seam panel widths are 14 to 16 inches. Determining the appropriate spacing depends on the roof pitch, panel length, and the local snow load rating. Consult our SnoBar Spacing Page for standing seam panels.
