Snow Guards & Snow Retention for Rigidply Rafters

Compatible Snow Guards for Rigidply Rafters Metal Roof Panels

SnoBlox-Snojax offers snow guards compatible with Rigidply Rafters 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 Rigidply Rafters.

Use our Snow Guard Spacing Guide to determine proper placement and quantity for your project. For help selecting the correct guard for your Rigidply Rafters 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

Most Rigidply Rafters exposed fastener panels are compatible with our SnoBlox Deuce and IceJax II models. For standing seam profiles, SnoBar® or ColorBar systems offer non-penetrating options that attach with seam clamps instead of screws. See the chart above.

Adhesive-mounted models, such as Ecojax or SnoBlox, can be used on smooth-coated Rigidply metal panels provided that proper cleaning and cure times are observed, with temperatures above 50°F. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing and temperature requirements of the adhesive.

Install snow guards across the entire roof surface, starting approximately 12–24 inches above the eave. On roofs with longer runs, avoid placing a single row only at the gutter edge—multiple staggered patterns provide balanced snow load retention.

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: Select a clamp-on snow guard or snow rail equipped with stainless steel cup-tipped set screws for secure attachment. This type of set screw prevents roof panel damage while delivering safe, maintenance-free snow retention performance across standing seam metal roofing profiles.
