On a large slate or tile roof, snow bars will hold back heavier snow than individual snow guards. On this particular green bar tile roof, the existing snow bar was bent and rusty. Incidentally, the home’s built-in gutters were leaking, so it made sense to address both problems at the same time while the lowest rows of tiles were out. Notice how heavy duty the custom hand-made black snow bar brackets are. And the brackets need to be securely screwed into the roof decking, with every intersecting tile carefully notched out. Not a job for a novice! Every detail of this job was made to mimic the original configuration.
