Description
S5! Solid Round Rod for SnoRail/SnoFence SnoRod 72″ Aluminum
The S5 SnoRod (72″ aluminum) is a solid round rod used as the crossmember in fence-style snow retention on metal roofs. Inserted through compatible rod clamps above the panel seams, it forms the continuous rail in SnoRail and the upper/lower rails in two-row SnoFence assemblies. Aluminum couplings are available to join segments and build longer runs.
Key Benefits
Lightweight & Strong: Solid aluminum rod provides excellent strength with low roof-top weight and easy handling.
System Compatible: Designed for S5 snow-retention assemblies; passes through the rod clamps and can be “fixed” against lateral migration with designated end clamps.
Modular Lengths: Use aluminum couplings to extend rails or field-cut to fit exact module bays.
All-Weather Durability: Non-ferrous aluminum resists corrosion in harsh freeze-thaw and wet conditions.
Special Technology
Rod-Through-Clamp Architecture: The rod slides through dedicated clamps mounted at the seams; a second rod row can be elevated with posts for SnoFence installations.
Material Options: Rods are commonly offered in aluminum, stainless, or brass for project-specific aesthetics and environments.
Warranty
Covered by S-5!’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the roof on which the product is installed.
What this means in practice:
-
Coverage lasts as long as the roof remains in service
-
Applies when the product is installed correctly and used as intended
-
Remedy is repair or replacement of the defective product, at S-5!’s discretion.
Best Uses
Standing-Seam Metal Roofs: Continuous snow-rail lines to help retain and control seasonal snow loads.
High-Snow Regions: Use as one or two rows (with posts) to reduce sliding snow and protect eaves, walkways, and landscaping.
