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!

If you want to see our roof with the house, we have some pictures of it on our website.

Searching for "Dindin Baublog" on Google leads me to "bauimtal" (?)

In our case, not the entire roof, but only the section near the edge is fitted with snow guards. The snow guards were offered as an accessory together with the tiles, but with some effort, they can also be retrofitted afterward.

I would recommend consulting a roofer near you, or, if available, a building supply warehouse or similar, to find out the best way to proceed.

Thank you for the further replies!

@Dindin sorry, but I am still not really familiar with forums and cannot open your blog.

@GoodCompany OK, that sounds convenient if the snow guards can be added afterwards with little effort. Is there somewhere you can see a picture of them?

Thank you very much for the link!

Congratulations on your house construction and also on the great and informative website. There must be quite a lot of online work behind it.

To get an impression, I would recommend contacting a roofer in your area. They can probably show you other houses or their roofs as references. Otherwise, it might also be helpful to take a look at the snow guard brochure from Tondach. Try searching for it on Google.
