Snegozaderzhateli for a faltsevy roof

In the event of significant precipitation in the form of snow on the roofs, such structural elements as snow holders are equipped. How to install snow guard for a folded roof will be discussed further. 

The purpose of the snow guard for folding roof

In addition to the natural function of retaining snow from involuntary creeping, snow guards perform a number of practical tasks:

• Create a safe environment for maintenance of the roof.
• Protect the drainage structure from the mass of snow.
• Make it safe to find people under the roof.
• Protect from damage cars parked near the building.
• Keep intact the lower part of the roof. In this case, it will not suffer from possible damage by snow, which can slide down from the upper slope.

From all of the above, we can conclude about the practical benefits of snegozaderzhateley and the need for their installation on the folded roof. Their installation is not necessary around the contour of the roof. Snegozaderzhateli need to equip above the areas of the entrance to the house and parking. In addition, it is desirable to install them above the windows of the attic room and in the roof structures, which differ in different levels of roofing.

A variety of snow guard

Snegozaderzhateli can be of different designs:

• Lamellar constructions are cheap, are made of metal sheet, covered with polymeric and anti-corrosion materials, mounted with their own hands easily. Lamellar snow guards are lightweight structures that can stop a small amount of snow.
• Lattice products well stop the desire of snow masses to immediately. They have a decorative appearance and are fixed on multifunctional supports. Fasteners to the roof is easy - they are nailed or suspended to the structural elements of the roof. This design snegozaderzhatelya good fasteners.
• Snow tubular obstacles have a simple construction. Two hollow or solid pipes pass through the support brackets, which are stamped from metal sheets. The unit design consists of pipes with a length of 3 m and brackets in the amount of 3 pieces. The distance between them during installation depends on the length of the slope and its slope. Fastening occurs with the help of multifunctional supports. It should be noted that tubular products are widely used in combination with a folded roof. In this case, the fixation occurs using special terminals.

Note! Snow holders, used for the device of the folded roof, have some differences in the design of tubular products - the legs are fitted to the folded ridge, and this does not affect the integrity of the coating.

Tubular snow guard

Snow holders on a tubular base are highly durable and, as a result, are desirable when exposed to heavy loads. This occurs when the roof has large slopes and long slopes. The design of the snow guard is a national team and consists of two parallel pipes and brackets for them, which are installed and fixed to the roof slope.

• The length of the pipes, as a rule, is equal to 3 meters. The brackets are at a distance between themselves, which is determined by the angle of the slope, its length and the magnitude of the snow load. The brackets can be spaced from each other at a distance of 0.6 m, 0.9 m, 1.2 m. On this basis, each snow holder is equipped with three or four brackets.
• Pipes snow delays can be both round and oval. With a wall thickness of 1.5 mm, the diameter of the product should be no more than 3.2 cm. The brackets are made from metal sheets with a thickness of up to 2.5 mm. Copper, aluminum, or steel are used to make snow holders. The former are used for seam roofs of copper, otherwise a galvanic effect may appear.
• Available options of galvanized steel are widely used. As a rule, a layer of zinc is covered with an aesthetic coating that does not allow the product to rust. At the same time, the color of the snow cap can be matched to the color of the roof.
• Complementary pipes and gasket brackets that are resistant to weathering. The screws, which fix the structure, differ in the same characteristics.
• If the slope is long - 10 m and more, snow holders are mounted on the roof in 2 rows. Then the bracket is fixed to the crate with special dowels.
