How to make snowstores with your own hands: Instructions for tubular and point barriers

We tell out how different different types of snow feet, where to fix them and give instructions for the manufacture of tubular and point barriers.

To properly install snow-sauers on the roof with your own hands, you just need to explore the instructions. It comes in a set with details for assembly. Mount the homemade device as simple as the factory. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the same factors as when creating a factory model. The choice of construction is influenced by the climatic features of the region - the strength of the wind, the thickness of the sediment layer in winter and the load that they create. The bias of the roof is no less important. If he is big, even a thin layer will not be able to hold on it. In this case, the barriers are not needed, since the "gathering of avalanche" is not dangerous. Skat, located under an average or insignificant angle, it is better to equip barriers.

Why do you need roofing barriers

Their main goal is to prevent the gathering of the layer of precipitation, which in the fall may harm health or spoil property. The cause of his collapse is its own mass. When it comes to a certain limit, it becomes difficult for it to be held on the inclined surface.

Another reason to use snowstanders - heating the external cladding. It occurs under the influence of sunlight, heating the roof edge. The material gets warm and from the inner structures of the building. The heat-insulating cake prevents this process, but it is not able to completely prevent heating.

Devices are often used on roofs with a smooth metal coating, poorly retaining ice cover. However, the rough surface of slate or rubberoid creates only a minor barrier.

An avalanche with a roof is a great danger. Below it consists of a pressed Nasta and Ice. When falling, it is able to cause serious damage to health. Can suffer equipment or plants located near the house. If the punch falls like a slope below, the likelihood of its collapse appears. In addition, only one of the sides of the twin roof is released from NLA, a rafter system may suffer. Due to the uneven distribution of weight on the rafter, the load begins to act, seeking to tilt them aside. The beam frame is initially calculated only for vertical loads, and to withstand the change in the direction will be difficult for it.

When the ice bottom side is gathering, the coating scratches, often leading it to disrepair. So, for example, if you rip off the metal tile of its top protective layer, it will lose its decorative qualities and start rust. Profile roof too spoil quite easily.

Do not wait for the snow cover to come down himself. It is better to consider it with shovels yourself. In the cold regions it is specifically left for insulation at home. Thick infective protects perfectly from frosts in a cold winter. The only minus of such a heaters is his weight. The rafters must be calculated on such loads.

What kind of designs are better coping with the task

Their choice depends on the thickness and mass of the NAST. To understand how to make snowstores yourself on a roof, you need to figure out how they are arranged, and for this sometimes just look at the photo.

Snowmanship options

• A log or a ram with a thickness of about 10 cm. This is one of the oldest ways of protection. It is used to this day, but the appearance of the fence is poorly combined with modern roof. Its mass is great and creates an additional stress in the rapid frame. In addition, wood is susceptible to rotting and deformations under the influence of change in temperature and humidity. The tree is burning even after impregnation with antipirens. It is more difficult to fix it on a metal surface - you need retaining clamps that are fastened to bolts or screws. Mounts must be massive enough to keep the weight of a long sent log.
• Steel pipes with a length of 1 to 3 m, fastened to the brackets. They are easier and safer wooden logs. This design is suitable for any roofing. For metal tile and professional flooring, factory barriers that have identical color and design are produced. It is quite difficult to choose the paint on your own clad color and this is the greatest drawback of self-made systems. You can use a galvanized coating pipe. The shiny metal surface is well combined with any paint. To make a barrier, you need to find brackets corresponding to the decoration of the roof. The tubes leave the space from the bottom open, allowing you to go to small layers that do not represent the danger.
• The lattice and lamellar fences skip smaller snow. If you set the plate-free without a gap, they will not pass to melting water, so you should leave a small space below. Plate devices are less reliable than tubular. They are not able to withstand serious loads, so they are mounted on the rods with an angle no more than 30 °.
• Steel corners Width a few centimeters are used in southern regions with a small amount of precipitation. They are located in a chess order so as to overlap the maximum area. Their bandwidth is high, but the barrier works quite effectively. The main advantages of the method are the high strength of the fences and the lack of large loads on the rafyled.

In which areas of the roof should be plane

To collect and install snowstanders on the roof with your own hands, you need the drawings of the building. It is necessary to know how the roofing frame is arranged and where its main supports are located. It will also be necessary to calculate the overhang length.

In defense needs the edge of the skate. However, its design does not allow mounting heavy metal tubes on the very edge, as it will not stand their weight. Snowbornels are located above the bearing wall - this place is best strengthened.

When placed in several rows of pipes, grilles and plates fasten over the carriages of the frame. Such a scheme is used for slopes longer than 5 m. The interval between the rows is 2.5-3.5 m. In these places, the crate is strengthened with additional boards, creating solid flooring. Such measures are enough for the crate to be turned out and so that it does not fail and have not flashed under the severity of steel fortifications.

Point corners are fixed not to rafters, but to the trim. They do not need a base of thick beams. To calculate the place of their installation, the roof drawing of the building will not need.

Coloring fence from logs should be placed above the carrier walls. Her weight does not allow you to transfer it to neither the slide of the skate, nor on its edge. The doomle in the places of the pricing of the clamps to the surface of the facing should be solid.

In order not to overload carrying structures, the barrier put only where it is necessary. As a rule, it is the entrance to the house, a skate, which is over the other, or the space near the walls, in need of protection, for example, the path to the porch.

How to make a snowstore with your own hands from the profile pipe

This technical solution is used most often. The lattice and lamellar fences have a lot of common with it. The main difference lies not in the mounting scheme, but in the design of the device itself.

Materials and tools

• Steel durable corners 4-5 cm wide. Profile thickness - 2-3 mm.
• Galvanized or painted pipes with a wall thickness of 3-5 mm. Their length is on average 3 m, but with a high load it is better to use meter pipes. The average diameter is 2.5-3.5 cm.
• Steel strip 3 mm thick and about 10 cm wide.
• Apparatus for welding.
• Circular Saw.
• Drill.
• Roulette and construction level, as well as a pencil and marking cord.

We make supports

With the help of a grinder, the corner is cut into four parts 50 cm. Cutting the same elongated triangles from the plate. They drill holes equal to the diameter of the pipe. One of the corners is straight. Long cathe triangle welded to a corner. He must be a little shorter shelf, which is fixed. To pave the second tier, the same hole is done on top.

All irregularities are cut with a grinder and grind. The surface is ground and covered with several layers of paint to the tone of the facing.

Installation work

At the base, the holes should be done before installation - it is quite difficult to carry out these works on the roof. In roofing, similar holes are made on the markup made on ready-made details. If in the process of drilling metal plates, an error was made, it must be reproduced on the basis that the openings coincide. Elements are placed perpendicular to the skate.

Self-tapping screws are used as the attachment. They screw in the beams through the crate. Special tapes for professional flooring are best suited. They completely seal the hole, not allowing moisture to fly inside and preventing corrosion material. The effect is achieved through an elastic neoprene gasket. When compressed, it fills all the slots on the junction.

How to make and install spot snowmaders

They are triangles and a direct angle facing the skate. One of his parties lies on roofing, the second, perpendicular to her, looks at the horse. It is she serves an obstacle to NAST. The longest side is the rebier of stiffness that gives the design stability.

Triangles are welded from a steel profile. To correctly calculate their quantity, it is necessary to measure the area of ​​the skate and determine how many such corners are needed for efficient protection.

Holes are more convenient to be done before, and then placing the position of the holes on the roof. They should be placed in two rows. Usually four screws are enough. They are screwed out not in the wooden carrier part of the roof, but in its facing. Before mounting, it is necessary to primed and paint.
