Is it mandatory to have snow guards on the roof?

Snow guards should be used on roofs with a roof pitch is 1:8 (i.e. approximately 7 degrees) or more. The snow guards should be positioned as close to the eaves as possible so that the load of the snow is directed towards load-bearing structures. The snow guard and its mounting must bear a load of at least 5 kN/m in the direction of the pane. Pisko snow guards meet the requirements of the Finnish RT 85-11132 code. Pisko snow guards are certified in accordance with the national approval procedure.
