ABSTRACT:
A snow guard is formed in a medallion-like shape having a square or triangular base with corners which base is to be fixed to a building roof. Projecting upwardly from each corner of the base are triangular upstanding members to catch snow. The triangular upstanding members are flat, planar walls and have one lower edge integrally attached to base. The triangular upstanding members extend from the corners to meet at and to define a central axis at abutted inner edges of the triangles. The triangular upstanding members have upper, free-edge defining a hypotenuse for the triangle. The side edges of triangular upstanding members and edges of the base are bevelled to catch sunlight and to reflect it. The triangular-shaped upstanding members are symmetrical about the central axis allowing the snow guard to be rotated about its axis and still be effective to retain ice and snow. With a square base plate, the snow guard may be mounted with a pair of square sides parallel to metal roof seams or rotated 45.degree. to be diagonally positioned relative to the roof seams and have a 40% increase in effective width.
