if you are seeking the most authentic looking and strongest snow abatement system in the world, here you go. Shown in the rendering above on our Prairie Panel system, this log snow fence can be adapted to accommodate any of our roofing systems.
If logs on the roof give off both a foreign and a folksy vibe, there’s a reason for that. Seasoned visitors to more remote areas in the Alps will instantly recognize the rocks and logs on the roof as fairly standard fare. Inhabitants of these winter wonderlands have been decking their roofs like this for thousands of years. Check out these pictures:
Indigenous people knew that snow, which is comprised of over 90% of air is the absolute best insulator. During those frigid Alpine winters, the more snow you had on your roof, the better your home was insulated. Ice would freeze the rocks to the roof. The rocks would bear up the logs, and there you have it! Snow avalanche prevention and instantly warmer house!
In Germany, the land of regulations, home of the best engineers and neat as a pin people, you’ll see the systems we sell downtown, but the rustic buildings in the Alps serve to remind us how effective these systems can be.
So. If you are in an area with a snow load on your roof you can’t seem to keep under control, it’s time to call on A list solutions like our log snow fence.
