Snow Retention
Snow builds up on a low-slope roof and then it goes all at once, over the edge and onto whatever's below. The usual fixes either bolt through the deck or sit on ballast that shifts as the load builds. Snow Retention holds the accumulation with fences attached to U-Anchor® bases, so the lateral load transfers into engineered attachment points. Each Compression-Free™ base is considered a component of the roof and included in the roof warranty.

How it works
It starts with a U-Anchor®, a component of the roof, sealed watertight at the point of attachment. Everything else connects your equipment to that one point.
The part that carries the load. A galvanized steel plate with rolled edges that protect the membrane sits under a cover membrane matched to the roofing brand, type, and color, leaving a stainless stud at the surface for everything else to bolt to. Which one you use is decided by the membrane on the building, not by the equipment.
