Metal Panel Systems Snow Guard FAQs
Most roof panels manufactured by Metal Panel Systems are compatible with pad-style snow guards, clamp-on seam-mounted systems, and screw-down snow rails. Choosing the correct snow retention system depends on whether the roof is a standing-seam or an exposed-fastener roof.
Standing seam roofs by Metal Panel Systems should use clamp-on snow guards or snow rails that attach to the seam without penetrating the metal panels. You may use an adhesive‑mounted snow guard as an alternative to seam‑mounted clamps, but only for lighter‑duty applications under a 45 PSF ground snow load.
The number of snow guards depends on panel run, roof pitch, panel width, building location, and snow load. Most installations require multiple staggered rows across the roof for proper snow retention.
Pad-style snow guards should be installed in multiple staggered rows across the roof to evenly distribute snow loads and reduce the risk of sudden snow slides. Snow-rails should be installed in straight lines up the roof to evenly space out the snow load on the building.
