I’m not sure if we should feel embarrassed or not, but when we attended the Building & Energy Expo in Vienna in February, we completely forgot about this point... Maybe also because our area hasn’t been very affected by this in recent years.
Anyway... How have you approached snow guards for the roof, or how do you plan to handle it? The most important question for me is... Is it possible to have this installed afterwards?
Thank you in advance!

meister keks3 Apr 2017 23:08Having these installed afterwards is definitely more complicated because the snow guards need to be clipped under the roof tiles.
We wouldn’t have been allowed to repair the roof without these parts.
Did you receive a building permit / planning permission notice from the local authority?
All the requirements were specified there.
edit: we had to equip our entire roof with them.

toxicmolotof3 Apr 2017 23:09Flat roof + Rhineland = problem solved.
But this probably won’t help you much. Do you have a house with an adjacent sidewalk? In that case, I would secure that area completely, unless it is already legally required. If the house is surrounded by a (front) garden, I would secure the front door and, if applicable, terrace doors.
Any standard roofer in your area should be able to handle this, right? Either during the initial construction or afterwards. Installing it just before laying the roof tiles might even be sufficient, wouldn’t it?
This is just an amateur opinion.

Thank you very much for your replies!
Of course, a flat roof would have been an option as well, but we didn’t like it aesthetically. Additionally, this way we have the long-term possibility to potentially use the attic.
We have, of course, received the building permit / planning permission from the local authority, and snow guards are included in the requirements. However, it seems that each option is allowed.
@Dindin: How did you design your roof surface, and which snow guards did you use?

We have a gable roof with a 35° pitch. Our roof is covered with Finkenberger tiles in granite color and secured with storm clips.
For retrofitting the snow guards, ESB Euro snow guard brackets in dark gray were used.
If you want to see our house with the roof, we have some pictures on our website.
