New two-pipe aluminum snow fence offers big savings.

Rocky Mountain Snow Guards has launched the Rocky Fence, a cost-effective two-pipe snow fence for standing seam metal roofs. Developed for new construction and retrofit projects, Rocky Fence gives contractors, architects and building owners another option when desiring the look and function of a fence-style snow retention system while delivering material cost savings.

Rocky Fence uses one aluminum bracket and two nominal one-inch aluminum tubes. The bracket bolts to a compatible S-5!® clamp selected for a specific roof panel and seam geometry. The snow fence system is available in mill finish aluminum or with a powder-coated finish, including dark bronze and custom colors.

Lower product cost

The most comparable system to Rocky Fence available from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards is Blizzard II. Based on the company’s current average pricing comparisons, Rocky Fence provides the following savings over the Blizzard II system:

• Mill finish aluminum - $5 per linear foot under Blizzard II
• Custom powder-coated finish - $7 per linear foot under Blizzard II
• Dark bronze finish - $18 per linear foot under Blizzard II

“We developed Rocky Fence for customers who want a practical, cost-effective two-pipe system,” says Brian Cross, sales and operations partner with Rocky Mountain Snow Guards. “This product gives the marketplace a competitively priced option in a variety of finishes for residential and commercial projects while preserving the project specific approach that proper snow retention demands.”

Cross goes on to say that Rocky Fence is not simply a lower-cost alternative snow retention product. “This two-pipe bracket design is stronger than the comparable Blizzard II system, providing greater strength while reducing product cost across the finish categories.”

Every roof starts with a layout

Snow retention performance on all kinds of roofing materials depends on the roof panel, seam geometry, clamp selection, connections, fasteners, bracket spacing and installation. Just as with all snow retention projects, Rocky Fence should be specified with a project-specific layout based on the actual standing seam metal roof and project conditions.

Rocky Mountain Snow Guards provides free project-specific layouts and quotes to help contractors and design professionals select and install the appropriate system, clamp and spacing for a project.

Outstanding Residential Rocky Mountain Snow Guards’ Project - White Castle Roofing

The Nebraska roofing company used RG16 snow guards on a custom designed DaVinci® Roofscapes Province Slate roof for a home in Lincoln, Nebraska. Chosen for their functionality and aesthetics, the snow guards beautifully accent the synthetic slate roof.

Outstanding Residential S-5! ColorGard® 2.0 Project - White Castle Roofing

Making a clean sweep of the Residential Project category, White Castle Roofing’s project in Mountain Village, Colorado has won the award for its use of S-5! ColorGard 2.0 snow retention on a standing seam metal roof of a log cabin.

Outstanding Commercial Rocky Mountain Snow Guards’ Project - Bulldog Roofing

The Colorado roofing company installed Drift Solar Snow Fence on The Ascent at Hover Crossing apartment complex below solar panels. Headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, Bulldog Roofing installed IKO Nordic™ Performance Shingles on the roof of the 75 units of the affordable housing complex in their hometown.

Outstanding Commercial S-5! ColorGard® 2.0 Project - On Point Contracting

Another hometown project winner was completed by On Point Contracting. The Littleton, Colorado based company installed an expansive, multi-tiered S-5! ColorGard 2.0 snow retention system on the new steel standing seam roof of a historic brick warehouse building in the city’s downtown area.

Winners abound

“We’re especially excited that White Castle moved up from a ‘runner up’ finish in our 2025 contest to sweep the residential categories in this year’s competition,” says Brian Cross, sales and operations partner with Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, Inc. “Their beautiful work speaks for itself.”

According to Cross, first-time contest entrant Bulldog Roofing took the gold in their commercial category with the massive snow retention project they completed on the apartment complex in Colorado. “This showpiece application of Drift Solar Snow Fences shows how important it is to install snow retention systems wherever solar panels are located,” says Cross. “In this situation, the snow fences help keep hundreds of residents safe from avalanching snow.”

Importance of snow retention

“This contest showcases the strength, versatility and visual appeal of the S-5! next-generation ColorGard 2.0 snow retention system,” says Jessica Haddock, director of marketing at S-5! “The winning projects demonstrate how thoughtfully designed and engineered snow retention systems can deliver reliable performance across a wide range of metal roofing applications.

“The White Castle Roofing project showcases ColorGard 2.0’s versatility on a complex, steep-slope residential roof, where multiple roof planes and heavy snow conditions demanded a precisely configured solution that complemented the home’s rustic aesthetic. By contrast, the On Point Contracting project demonstrates the system’s strength on a large commercial roof, where long, uninterrupted runs called for a durable, streamlined snow retention solution. These projects are very different in scale and design, but both show the versatility and performance that make ColorGard 2.0 such an effective solution.”

The two-bar system surrounding the school provides a clean, continuous appearance that complements the synthetic shake roofing while offering effective snow retention. 

What started as a two-room schoolhouse in 1897 for 50 students has evolved into a large campus educating 260 kindergarten through fifth-grade students. Ravinia Elementary School, one of the oldest and most architecturally significant civic buildings in Highland Park, Ill., recently received a renovation and addition project recently that positions it for the future. Chief among the accomplishments was replacing old, worn cedar shakes with new synthetic shakes and a snow retention system.

“The building needed significant improvements to better support increased enrollment, expanded programming, and evolving educational practices along with accessibility, safety and security in a modern school setting,” says Vince Procaccio, RA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, senior project architect at Wight & Company out of Darien, Ill. “This project addressed those issues with care, while preserving the architectural features and overall feel that have made Ravinia such a recognizable part of the neighborhood.”

Addressing roofing needs

When it came to the roof, the high maintenance obligations on the district for handling the natural wood shakes had to be addressed. The architectural firm worked with INSPEC, Inc. to select both an easy-care roofing product and snow retention system for Ravinia Elementary School.

To replace the rotting wood shakes, CEDUR synthetic shakes were chosen. The composite shakes will maintain the appearance and character of a cedar shake roof while providing the durability, reduced maintenance and fire performance needed for the institutional building. To ensure that ice and snow move safely off the new roof in winter weather, a NoFlash II two-bar snow fence system in dark bronze from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards was specified.

“Whenever steep-slope synthetic roofing is installed, there’s an important design consideration need for snow retention systems to help manage snow and ice movement,” says Tony Loden, associate, senior building envelope consultant with INSPEC, Inc. “These are especially needed above entrances, sidewalks and other occupied areas."

Tony went on, "Properly designed snow retention systems help control the release of accumulated snow and ice, reducing the potential for sudden sliding events while protecting pedestrians, landscaping, equipment and adjacent property. These systems are especially a prudent investment for educational facilities because they enhance occupant safety while minimizing maintenance concerns and operational disruptions during the winter seasons.”

Tony relates that his firm specifically chose the NoFlash II system for Ravinia Elementary School based on the double rod style and the overall look it presents against the composite wood shake roof. Being familiar with Rocky Mountain Snow Guard products, he and his team were confident that the product will help keep the aesthetics compatible with the neighborhood.

“The appearance and performance characteristics of the NoFlash II system align well with the project’s historic preservation objectives,” added Vince. “The two-bar system surrounding the school provides a clean, continuous appearance that complements the synthetic shake roofing while offering effective snow retention. It also avoids the visual clutter often associated with individual snow guards and provides a more uniform distribution of snow loads across the roof surface.”

Specifying synthetics in the future

Installed by Bennett & Brosseau Roofing, Inc. out of Romeoville, Ill., use of the expansive synthetic roof on the school follows a consistent trend that Procaccio and Loden have seen over the past several years. While initially a higher cost item, synthetic roofing has a strong return on investment due to its longevity and lower maintenance fees.

“As manufacturers continue to improve the appearance, durability and long-term performance of synthetic roofing products, we anticipate gradual growth in their use,” says Vince. “This should especially occur in renovation projects involving historic schools and municipal buildings. As these synthetic roof systems become more prevalent, we also expect snow retention systems to be incorporated more frequently as a standard life-safety feature in our northern climates.”

From his perspective, Tony offers that, “Overall, snow retention systems are an important life-safety component for steep slope roof systems in northern Illinois, particularly above school entrances, sidewalks, loading areas and other high-traffic pedestrian locations. Winter weather in the Chicago metropolitan area routinely creates icy walking conditions and uncontrolled roof avalanches can significantly increase the risk of injury to students, staff and visitors. Properly specified and installed snow retention systems, like the NoFlash II, can help eliminate those problems.”

Retrofit roofing projects are not just opportunities to repair or replace a roof. They are opportunities to provide a more complete roofing solution. One practical way to do that is by recommending snow retention products where they are needed.

For contractors, recommending snow retention can increase the overall value of a roofing project while helping homeowners address a real seasonal concern. Snow guards, snow fences and snow bars add a practical, safety-focused solution to the project scope and can become a meaningful upgrade that differentiates one roofer’s proposal from another.

That does not mean every roof requires the same solution. It means every applicable retrofit project deserves a snow retention conversation. The contractor who brings it up first demonstrates professionalism, protects the homeowner’s investment and creates an opportunity to grow the project with products that serve a clear purpose.

Helping roofers get it right

Specifying snow retention can feel complicated because every roof is different. Roof pitch, roof material, snow load, valleys, eaves, entry locations and overall roof layout all matter. That is why Rocky Mountain Snow Guards can be such a valuable resource for roofers.

“Our company offers free layout assistance and product lists for roofers across a wide range of roof types and snow retention applications,” according to Brian Cross, sales and operations/partner with Rocky Mountain Snow Guards out of Colorado. “Whether the project calls for snow guards, snow fences, snow bars or a combination of products, our experts can help contractors identify options that fit the roof material and project conditions.”

For roofers, that support can simplify the sales conversation and improve confidence in the recommendation. Instead of guessing at quantities or placement, contractors can lean on a snow retention specialist for layouts, product guidance and the information needed to present homeowners with a clearer, more complete solution.

The sales advantage for roofers

When roofers explain the purpose of snow retention, they help homeowners see the value behind the recommendation. This can make the project feel more thoughtful and complete, especially when snow retention is positioned as a way to help protect entrances, garage doors, walkways, landscaping and other vulnerable areas below the roofline.

With the right snow retention products and the support of Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, contractors can strengthen their proposals, increase project value and help customers feel more secure every time winter weather arrives.

Massive snow retention system installed.

Just weeks away from completion, the PNE Amphitheatre in Vancouver will feature one of the longest timber arch roofs in the world. Created of 60 interlaced timber arches that form into six remarkable barrel vaults, the massive 344-foot-wide starburst roof span will cover a 10,000-seat open-air entertainment facility. 

Designed by Revery Architecture, the $183 million project (officially called the Freedom Mobile Arch) is planned for year-round use. In Vancouver, where the average annual snowfall during the past 10 years has been 15.2 inches, the architectural firm specified a specialized snow retention system for the spectacular roof to assure the safe controlled evacuation of snow from its surface. 

Focus on snow retention

Snow retention was considered early in the development of the Freedom Mobile Arch. Everyone involved in the project, from the structural engineering team at Fast + Epp, to the code consultants at RWDI to the general contractors at EllisDon, were concerned with the issue. Working together, they consulted with the installation/execution team of Bothwell-Accurate, to find the best solution. Several meetings with Engineered Architecturals™ LTD and snow retention proposals using products from Rocky Mountain Snow Guards and S-5!® brought the resolution.

“We recommended a Single-Ply ColorGard® Bar-Style Snow Guard System that allowed the architects to achieve pattern designs with a distributed layout across the field of the roof for snow retention,” according to Nathan Morlock, president of Engineered Architecturals LTD. “These are sturdy metal pieces with a low profile that, when placed in a strategic pattern, can handle snow retention needs for this unique roof.”

Due to the massive size of the roof, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards provided 2,475 Single Ply Baseplates, 2,475 ColorGard® 2.0/X-Gard® Adapters and an expansive amount of aluminum tubing for the ferrules (used to create a pathway through the roof’s “build up materials” such as insulation, between the roof substructure and top membrane) to allow for fastening the baseplates. Engineered Architecturals obtained the extensive quantities of ColorGard Bars and VersaClips™ from S-5! to complete the system. According to Andrew Lewis, Project Manager at Bothwell-Accurate, the ColorGard Bars were painted in a Benjamin Moore® OC-56 color called Moonshine.

“The baseplate approach of attachment was critical given the roof build-up and scale,” notes Morlock. “That’s what made the system workable across the full assembly. There were varying depths of insulation over the back of the amphitheater, and a transition making installation at that location fairly complex.”

Starburst geometry to roof

Constructed primarily with Douglas Fir glulam and Spruce-Pine-Fir cross-laminated timber, the stunning roof on the Freedom Mobile Arch project was installed with acoustic and sound containment features. A rainwater collection system was also constructed into the roof and foundation to help provide landscaping and regulate runoff. 

"There are so many incredible features of this roof,” says Morlock. “Our company has dealt with the supply and coordination of snow retention products for many projects over the years. However, nothing beats this one. We’re pleased that we helped the designers achieve the aesthetic look they wanted for the roof with this specific snow retention product while providing a safe way for melting snows to gently slide off the Freedom Mobile Arch.”

Beginning June 1 and running through July 31, 2026, roofing contractors are invited to enter their snow retention projects in the contest to win cash prizes totaling $6,000.

Learn how Rocky Mountain Snow Guards' products help this roofer keep his clients safe through the winter.

Living in Minnesota, and having worked in Colorado, Rick Vining knows a thing or two about snow slides. “There was a business remodeled in Minneapolis around 2022 with synthetic roofing material,” says Rick, director of sales for Weathersafe™ Restoration, Inc. “They didn’t have a snow retention system installed. They had a snow slide that was so heavy and fast that it caused massive damage, including to a parked car. If a person were in the slide zone during the avalanche, they would have been seriously injured or killed.”

The memory of that event stays with Rick and his team. It’s one of the reasons they recommend snow retention plans for every metal and synthetic roofing bid they present.

Where is Weathersafe Restoration, Inc. getting its snow retention plans?

We always go to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards and use their free layout and plan services. Often we are the only contractor who communicates to the client why snow retention should be a consideration during the initial consultation. Receiving the layout and documentation is fantastic backup for our client meeting. Plus we know the service team at Rocky Mountain Snow Guards is just a phone call or email away if we have a question or additional needs.

What type of projects are you recommending snow retention on?

We complete all types of roofing projects: Repairs and full replacement installations, plus we install new roofing. Because we service Minnesota and western Wisconsin, we’re dealing with significant snow areas. If it’s a roofing product with a “slick” surface to it, we recommend snow retention.

Are you noticing any trends in your area related to snow retention?

Recently we’re seeing many Minnesota municipalities requiring a snow retention plan during the permitting process before replacing a homeowner’s roof with metal or synthetic materials. This makes a lot of sense. For us, we lean on Rocky Mountain Snow Guards to come up with the layout plan and supporting documentation that’s required. Then we can focus on the client service and installation.

Do you have any favorite roofing projects you’ve done using Rocky Mountain Snow Guards?

We had a challenging project where we installed Brava Cedar Shake in a Canyon Gray color. This also included CertainTeed Solstice® Shingles, a solar roofing shingle. There were numerous considerations involved and I liked the many moving parts and timelines. We used the Yeti 11 in a Dark Bronze color to make the snow retention system safe and easy, plus it accented the roof beautifully.    

What keeps your company coming back to Rocky Mountain Snow Guards?

The customer service and quality. Their team makes the process easy for us. From the layout to the plans to the product list to the instructions. They’re a good business partner.

Now for a fun question. Imagine getting $100,000 with a simple stipulation: you have to take your employees on a one-week trip. Where would you go?

Anywhere warm! We are from Minnesota! Actually, we’d bring the team to Anna Maria, Florida and go fishing all week. It would be a great team-building experience being on the clear turquoise waters, catching and releasing fish and sharks. What a dream week!

The Drift Solar Snow Fence provides essential safety for residential solar projects.

The United States is experiencing an unprecedented boom in residential solar projects, with homeowners across the nation turning to solar energy to power their lives. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a new solar project was installed every 59 seconds in 2025, bringing the total number of solar energy systems in the U.S. to nearly 6 million — Enough to power 47 million households. By 2030, it’s projected that 11% of American homes will feature solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on their roofs.

As the number of solar installations continues to climb, it is critical for architects, specifiers, contractors and roofing professionals to proactively plan for the unique challenges these systems present — Particularly in regions prone to winter weather. One significant concern is the rapid warming of solar panels after a snowfall, which causes snow to slide quickly down roof surfaces. Without proper snow retention, this can result in avalanches of snow and ice, putting people, property and landscaping below at risk.

Solar snowfall solution

To address this issue, Rocky Mountain Snow Guards offers the Drift Solar Aluminum 4-pipe fence-style snow guard system. Specifically engineered for installation below solar panels, this innovative system features a 12-inch-tall snow fence that acts as a catch basin, holding snow in place until it melts gradually. This prevents dangerous, sudden releases of snow, safeguarding both residents and property.

The Drift Solar Snow Fence is compatible with both new construction and retrofit roof applications. Its robust design calls for the brackets to be bolted directly to the roof support structure flush at the eave, with the tubing side facing downslope — A reversed installation compared to traditional snow fence systems. Each bracket is anchored with five structural lag bolts, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. Individually sold ice screens must be installed with the Drift Solar snow fence system to impede the movement of snow between the tubing.

Guidance for industry pros

With residential solar adoption on the rise, integrating snow retention systems like the Drift Solar fence is essential for safe and successful solar installations in snowy climates. Architects, specifiers and contractors are encouraged to include snow retention in their project specifications to protect homeowners and maximize the benefits of solar energy year-round.

Properly engineered and installed snow guards!

Snow guards are installed on rooftops in specific patterns to help prevent snow from avalanching as the snow melts. One of the big challenges of working with these products is figuring out what the right pattern is for each roof's needs. This is where Rocky Mountain Snow Guards aims to help contractors with tools like their free layout and quote service and educational installation videos.
