How To Install Snow Guards On Roof
                     How Do You Put Snow Guards On A Metal Roof? 
Undoubtedly, experiencing snow is a beautiful and exciting part of everybody’s life.
Even when you live in an area that gets a significant amount of snow each year, its
annual appearance is something you anticipate and enjoy. Indeed, one of the typical
winter  wonderland  aesthetic's  mainstays  has  always  been  the  picture  of  snow-
topped  roofs.  However,  apart  from its  awe-inspiring  beauty,  snow  brings  many
challenges. Its accumulation on the metal roof may cause a sudden sliding, which
can be hazardous. With the intent to avoid such instances, it’s imperative to take
precautions that prevent its pleasant appearance from transforming into a winter
catastrophe. One of the best preventions you can take is installing snow guards on
your metal roof. 
What Is A Snow Guard?
Snow guards are snow and ice retention devices for pitched metal roofs that cause
any accumulated snow or ice to melt or fall off the roof in small pieces instead of a
sudden, unexpected roof avalanche. These guards are like corrals that attach to the
roof edge and can be small, strategically staggered triangular spikes that adhere
easily  to  a  metal  roof  with  strong  adhesive.  Installing  snow  guards  is  a
straightforward  process.  However,  many  roofing  companies  in  Pasadena
consider professional assistance for their installation.  But a dedicated DIYer with
secure scaffolding may feasibly accomplish this task. Let’s begin to commence the
installation process. 
How To Install Snow Guards?
Here we have enlisted a few things you will need during installation:
 Pencil
 Work gloves
 Isopropyl alcohol wipes
 Latex gloves
 Clear roofing adhesive
Note: consider working on a dry day, as adhesive won’t stick well to a damp roof.
You can also call a professional  roof contractor in Long Beach to get this work
done if you aren’t comfortable doing this. 
1 Place a mark 6 inches up from the lower edge of the roof and 6 inches in from
one side using a pencil. As you travel across the length of the eave, continue
to draw markings 6 inches above the lower edge, 24 inches apart. 
2 Make a second row of markings 12 inches from the roof’s lower edge. Instead
of 6, make the first mark 12 inches from the side and maintain a distance of
24 inches between the markings. So they're staggered with the first row of
marks.
3 Wear  protective  work  gloves  and clean the  area  around each  mark using
isopropyl alcohol wipes. Since pencil marks get rubbed while cleaning, make
new marks on the cleaned areas. Now, take off the work gloves and wear
thick latex gloves. 
4 Apply clear roofing adhesive to the bottom of the first snow guard and cover
the entire  bottom with  adhesive.  Now,  press  the  snow guard's  glued  end
against the initial mark on the roof until the adhesive seeps out from below.
Place the guard so that the vertical edge faces the upward slope of your roof.
Wipe the extra glue from the guard. 
5 Apply adhesive to another snow guard spike and attach the guard to the roof
using a staggered pencil mark as a reference. Now, continue attaching the
snow  guard  along  the  staggered  rows  on  the  roof  in  this  manner.
Manufacturers suggest installing snow guards above entryways to prevent the
risk of roof collapse in places that receive extensive snow.
