PD10R Retrofit Snow Guards

Standard size fits slate 16" to 20" in length. Longer sizes can be custom made!

Pad area is 2 3/8"L x 2 3/8" wide (at widest point) x 1 7/16" high. Standard strap length is 13 5/8" (custom lengths available). Standard hook height is 1 1/4" (custom heights available).

The standard snow guard has a 12.25 inch "reach." When you slide it underneath your slate, it can only go 12 1/4." The head of the slate you're hooking over needs to be in that range.

Our riveted "fish head" design means optimum strength with no risk of unfolding. Thin, durable strap with tab hook minimizes disruption of slate/shingle pattern. When you hook the snow guard over the top of the slates, you can maintain a uniform pattern even on random width roofs. Easily installs by pushing up underneath the slates using a "slate ripper" or similar tool. Just slide under the overlying course and pull down to engage the tab. No need for nail hangers. 

For new construction, use the nail application PD10.
