When it comes to snow management systems and metal standing seam roofs, installers rely on secure attachment points that won’t compromise the integrity of the roof. We at Alpine SnowGuards wanted to share with you our snow guards for metal standing seam roofs. Don’t forget our product lines consist of systems for all roof types.
SnowMax – Fence Style System
Manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum, SnowMax is the strongest snow management system on the market and is fast and easy to install, making it extremely cost-efficient. The increased bracket spacing (up to 48″) accommodates the new, wider and commonly used insulated metal roof panels. Our SnowMax-U2 bracket fits most standard double-lock seams and accepts a 2” wide color insert to match metal roofing material. We’ve also engineered options for corrugated metal and membrane roofs.

ASG4025 – Pipe Style System
Forged from a solid block of recycled aluminum, and measuring a big 4” long and 5 ¼” tall, the ASG4025 Two-Pipe Snow Guard System accepts 1” Pipe, and is compatible with the use of ice flags and ice screens. Utilizing 3 set screws, you get a secure attachment that will do the job. Our standard system comes in mill finish. You can also request powder coating using RAL TIGER Drylac® Exterior Colors to match any roof color. The photo of the system installed on the green standing seam roof comes to us from Souza’s Slate in Saratoga Springs, New York. Thanks, guys!
ASG33G – Pad-Style System
If you’re looking for a pad-style snow management system with a little more style and aesthetics, you’ll want to check out our ASG33G system for standing seams.

PD82 – Pad Style System
The unique “saddle” design of the PD82 standing seam pad-style snow guard has seen several iterations of design. Continued improvements resulted in a deeper profile, two set screws and connective webbing between the clamp and the top of the saddle for improved strength. The PD82 will hold back snow and ice, and allow melt-off and rain to flow through. Easy to install and no assembly required means that this option is also an efficient one. This snow guard comes standard in mill finish, and can also be powder-coated.
Design Process
By identifying customer needs and voids in the marketplace, our Product Development and Engineering teams utilize advanced engineering techniques in order to manufacture easy to install systems that make sense.
Testing Information
All products are rigorously tested in-house to ensure top-notch workmanship that is compliant with, and meets or exceeds industry standards and best practices. Products are also beta tested in the field, which provides valuable feedback and additional industry insight. Lastly, products are sent to 3rd party testing facilities where several performance modes are implemented to guarantee overall success of the products design and technical development. Some of our testing protocols include allowable load limits, maximum pullout weights, shear, and rain testing to ensure every product does what we say it will do.
