Ideal for snow retention on low-slope roofing, Single Ply II: 2-Pipe Fence-Style Bolt-Down systems from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards are comprised of two base components. First, a 2-pipe upright bracket that’s 6 inches tall made of mill finish or powder-coated aluminum. Second, a single-ply baseplate made of galvanneal steel. Aluminum 1-inch OD tubing fits in the brackets in the Fence-Style snow retention systems to retain heavy snow loads from sliding off low-slope roofing. The snow retention system allows the snow to melt naturally, minimizing the possibility of a catastrophic release of snow.
