We get between 5-10 feet of snow annually here.
I’ve got a client who really wants a standing seam roof, but the roof configurations that work aesthetically for the whole-house remodel I’m designing will leave avalanches of snow at the entryway on the north side of the building, so it would not melt well into the spring.
In the past I’ve been able to dissuade clients from metal in such instances, but I know this one is not going to be swayed easily.
Do the snow-stops that clamp to the ribs work? Are some better than others?

Steve,
Look at Alpine Snow Guards site.
If you use their S5 clamp to attach to the seams you can have a two bar system that will retain a lot of snow.
If the build up gets too large they might have to remove some at times with roof rake and shovels.
Here we go again..

Yeah, we need a tele-handler to let the framers send the snogards up so we can nail them on with a PC bammer and glue.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

*sn0rk*Just read through the thread...Sounds like the bar-type ones are pretty effective.This will all be new construction, with very highly insulated roof, so I don't think ice on the roof will be a problem, just sliding snow building up in front of the porch entryway.Steve
