Engineering confidence with snow retention products

By Dani Sheehan. 

There's no one-size-fits-all roof, and TRA Snow and Sun innovates to meet every challenge. 

TRA Snow and Sun’s newly designed Rafter Mount delivers both performance and safety while also making installation easier and more cost-effective for contractors.  

Innovation with purpose 

The Rafter Mount is the next iteration of TRA Snow and Sun’s traditional deck mount system. In the past, deck mounts required larger cuts of metal, which created more waste during production. By rethinking the design, TRA Snow and Sun engineered a mount that uses less material while maintaining the same structural strength you depend on. 

This new design is a smarter way to build. The streamlined shape allows the mounts to nest more efficiently during manufacturing, reducing scrap and improving efficiency in the production process. That translates directly into savings for the end user: less waste means lower production costs and those savings get passed along to you and your customers. 

Protection that performs 

The Rafter Mount secures heavy-duty snow fences directly into structural roof trusses and rafters, creating a strong, lasting connection even in heavy snow zones. It’s an excellent choice for steep-slope roofs where avalanche protection is critical, or for projects where aesthetics matter – the powder coating options let the system blend seamlessly with any roofing style. 

Paired with TRA Snow and Sun’s snow fence systems, the newly designed mount helps prevent snow and ice from sliding off in large, dangerous sheets that can damage landscaping, block walkways or cause injury. And like all TRA Snow and Sun products, it’s rigorously tested for strength and reliability. With flashing and sealing best practices built into their installation guidance, TRA Snow and Sun helps you reduce liability while delivering the best protection.
