Adhesive-Mounted Snow Guard Calculator
Select a SnoBlox-Snojax product and enter your roof measurements to estimate guard quantities, staggered placement, and reference costs. The preview is schematic and requires manufacturer review.
1. Product and roof information
Appears on your printed material estimate and roof layout pages.
2. Roof areas
Select the roof pitch separately for each roof area. Each area is calculated independently.
Use this manufacturer-supplied measurement guide to identify the roof run, eave length, roof pitch and valley width.

Adhesive-mounted snow guard spacing: common questions
These answers explain the calculator inputs and limitations. Layouts and material totals are preliminary planning estimates; confirm product compatibility and project-specific requirements.
How is adhesive snow guard spacing calculated?
The selected roof pitch determines the maximum vertical row spacing: 1/12–2/12: 15 ft; 3/12–4/12: 10 ft; 5/12–6/12: 8 ft; and 7/12–12/12: 5 ft. Each roof area is calculated separately.
How do panel flats affect quantities?
The calculator uses the selected panel or valley width and product placement rule to estimate guards per row. Some snow guard models cannot be selected for 9-inch flats; the product selector enforces those restrictions.
Can I include multiple roof areas?
Yes. Add each roof area with its own eave length and roof run. The calculator provides separate layouts and a combined material estimate.
What should I check before installing adhesive snow guards?
Follow the product-specific adhesive instructions, including surface preparation, application and full curing requirements. The calculator does not replace manufacturer approval or engineering review.
