SnowCatcher Stainless Steel Snow Guard – Screw-Down Metal Roof Snow Retention | 304 SS | Canada Snow Guards

Canada Snow Guards · Genuine SnoBlox-Snojax

SnowCatchers are the metal-pad workhorse: 25 guards stamped from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, with mounting screws and gasket tape in the box for a sealed, watertight attachment to screw-down metal roofs. Marine-grade stainless means no rust, no panel streaking and no fade — through salt-air Atlantic winters and prairie sun alike.

Why your metal roof needs snow retention

Smooth metal panels shed snow like nothing else: a season's accumulation consolidates, then releases in one slide. Hundreds of kilograms of wet snow coming off a roof edge tears off eavestroughs, crushes vent pipes, buries walkways and damages whatever sits below. Snow guards hold the field in place and let it melt off gradually, the way it does on a shingle roof.

Why stainless

Polycarbonate is excellent, but some roofs call for metal: harsh coastal or agricultural exposure, owners who want a multi-decade service life with zero UV question marks, or simply the look of bright stainless on the panel. 304 is the same grade used in marine hardware — it shrugs off what Canadian winters throw at it. Available in individual units from $7.99, a Maple Leaf edition, and eight powder-coated colours.
