Favored by architects and roof designers alike, the cylindrical shapes and sleek design of our metal roof snow fence both complement the roof and seamlessly functions with your standing seam metal roof design. This system in brass is suited for use on copper and lead-coated copper roofs.

S-5-BE™ Clamp

Used at the rate of one per 50′ of assembly and at ends of assembly in lieu of BSF clamp to “fix” SnoRod, preventing excessive lateral rod migration.

Brass SnoRod™

⅜” diameter solid brass rod inserted through S-5-BSF clamps just above panel seams for SnoFence. The second SnoRod is positioned 2” above the first by inserting through SnoPosts. Contact your S-5! distributor for pricing and details on brass SnoRod.

SnoRod Coupling

Brass coupling ensures end-to-end rod alignment and continuity while allowing for thermal movement.

SnoPost B™

The brass SnoPost threads into the S-5-BSF clamp and provides for the addition of a second SnoRod 2” above the first. 

SnoPost BE™

Used with the S-5-BE clamp to keep the upper SnoRod of the assembly locked into place.

Used at a rate of one per 50′ of assembly and at ends of assembly to “fix” SnoRod, preventing excessive lateral rod migration.
