Getting snow off metal roof.

Snow and ice released well the first season when the metal still had the oil or coating it leaves the factory with but now it no longer releases on its own. I have a metal roof with a shallow 3 12 pitch. Ron beaver hay and myself provide a how to on wiring snow off a roof. You just need to get a rope over your roof.

The rain gutter should be installed a bit lower down so it is not directly in the path of the sliding snow and the metal roof should hang almost halfway over the gutter. We are usually asked for ways to stop the snow from sliding off the roof all at once. You will have to adjust all of this according to how regular rainfall flows off the roof you don t want the water to overshoot the rain gutter. You may not be able to get rid of the ice dam but using this rake you can get rid of the snow that is accumulating behind the ice dam and brush it away to prevent any further water damage.
