SnoGard™ EF Snow Retention System\u003c\/strong\u003e is a purpose-built, pre-engineered continuous-bar snow retention solution designed for exposed-fastened metal roofs, including AG-panel, R-Panel, PBR and similar agricultural and rural roofing applications. Engineered and tested to S-5!'s rigorous standards, SnoGard EF provides a stronger, cleaner and more reliable alternative to field-fabricated snow retention systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnoGard EF features a \u003cstrong\u003eprescriptive, pre-engineered design\u003c\/strong\u003e that simplifies system selection and installation. Published application guidelines and simplified snow load charts help contractors determine roof compatibility and the required number of snow retention rows without project-specific engineering calculations for qualifying applications. The system is optimized for 9\" and 12\" rib spacing, helping reduce unnecessary components and installation costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach system uses SnoGard EF crossmembers supported by EF Tabs with factory-applied EPDM seals, eliminating the need for messy sealants. The attachment design has been tested for watertightness in accordance with ASTM E2140, and installation is not restricted to purlin locations, providing greater flexibility in system layout. Prepackaged components and standardized installation methods make SnoGard EF a practical solution for agricultural buildings, post-frame structures, rural commercial facilities and other compatible exposed-fastened metal roofs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for Exposed-Fastened Roofs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with qualifying AG-panel, R-Panel, PBR and similar agricultural and rural corrugated metal roofing profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrescriptive, Pre-Engineered Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Published guidelines simplify system selection without project-specific engineering calculations for qualifying applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimplified Snow Load Charts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Determine the required number of snow retention rows based on roof pitch, rafter length and roof design snow load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized for 9\" \u0026amp; 12\" Rib Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible spacing helps optimize material usage, component quantities and installed costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory-Applied EPDM Seals:\u003c\/strong\u003e EF Tabs feature factory-applied EPDM for clean installation without additional sealants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASTM E2140 Tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attachment design tested for watertightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attachment locations are not restricted to purlins, simplifying layout and installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous-Bar Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a clean, consistent snow retention barrier across the roof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrepackaged Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e System-compatible components simplify ordering, stocking and jobsite installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional ColorStrip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the system to coordinate with the roof's material and finish for a consistent appearance. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOptional ColorStrip is sold separately. \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgricultural buildings and barns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-frame metal buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRural commercial facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential exposed-fastened metal roofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAG-panel, R-Panel and PBR roofing profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther qualifying exposed-fastened corrugated metal roofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(14) 72\" SnoGard EF Crossmembers (84 linear feet total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(112) SnoGard EF Tabs with factory-applied EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(14) SnoGard EF Splices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(225) Self-Piercing Screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach kit provides 84 linear feet of SnoGard EF snow retention components for compatible exposed-fastened metal roofs.
