Snow Guards & Snow Retention for California Steel Roofing

Compatible Snow Guards for California Steel Metal Roof Panels

SnoBlox-Snojax offers snow guards compatible with California Steel metal roof systems, including exposed fastener and standing seam profiles. Our pad-style and bar-style snow retention systems help prevent dangerous snow slides that can damage gutters, HVAC units, and property below. Each solution has been tested for performance and durability to meet the specific panel designs produced by California Steel.

Use our Snow Guard Spacing Guide to determine proper placement and quantity for your project. For help selecting the correct guard for your California Steel metal roof, contact our team or request a free quote.

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 California Steel

Yes, many California Steel panels are compatible with our clamp-on snow retention and adhesive-mounted snow guards. However, seam geometry and panel gauge vary by profile. Always verify compatibility using our panel fitment chart above or purchase a test clamp.

For HR-36 panel with 1½-inch seam, we recommend the Ecojax or Icejax I that screw down or mount with adhesive. Confirm panel gauge and seam shape before ordering.

Adhesive-mounted guards may be suitable for some California Steel panels with flat surfaces and proper surface prep. Always follow our installation spacing guidelines and check with the panel manufacturer for warranty information.

Screw-Down Snow Guards: 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: 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 performance across standing seam metal roofing profiles.

Determining the appropriate spacing depends on the panel width, roof pitch, and the local snow load rating. For standing seam panels, it is recommended to consult our SnoBar Spacing Page.
