TRA Snow and Sun Announces New Cost-Saving Deck Mount Snow Fences
American Fork, UT (PRWEB) March 27, 2014 -- TRA Snow and Sun, Inc., well known for their Snow Bracket snow guards and engineered snow retention system, has developed new lower cost deck mount snow fence called the Mount Shasta and Diamond Mount.
Terry Anderson, President, explains why the company, which also offers individual snow guards and other snow fences, decided to expand their product line. "Our other snow fences have been very successful but we wanted to provide a less expensive option. The Mount Shasta Deck Mount fits this need while still providing superior protection from sliding snow and ice."
The new deck mount system is designed for installation on most stick framed roof types and works with 3/4” X 3/4” square fence pipe (Diamond Mount style) or 1” (1.315”OD) fence pipe (Mount Shasta style). Customers can choose from one or two rail designs.
The engineers at TRA Snow and Sun always take the snow load, slope of the roof and roof type into account when calculating how many snow fences are needed and how far apart they are placed on the roof. The heavier gauge, larger snow fence mounts as well as this new mount are considered for each job.
All three factors determine which snow fence system is recommended. If, for instance, a roof calculates out to require 1.2 fences from eave to ridge using TRA's original deck mount snow fences, then two fences are specified because you cannot disregard the need for the .2 of a fence that would hold back snow. If the new Mount Shasta deck mount snow fence calculates out to 1.8 fences from eave to ridge, that would also mean two snow fences, but the new snow fence clamp is less costly, still ensuring a safe system with less expense to the customer.
The Mount Shasta and Diamond Mount Deck Mount Snow Fences are available in steel, copper and Cor-Ten®, with finishes in raw steel, electro-galvanized steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel, mill finish copper, mill finish Cor-Ten®. Power coating is available. These snow fences are used on: asphalt shingle, cedar shingles, flat seam metal, granule metal, metal panel, slate simulated slate, tile roofs and woods shakes.
