Originally posted by Silens Curator:<br /> And SS Mayfloat, the problem with too much weight on the roof depends on the slope of the roof. if you have a steeper incline, the snow just kinda slides off...makes for one hell of a good show when someone slams their door...and you thought that only happened in movies...if the roof is not sloped enough, then you see the poor suckers up there shovelling their roof. i hate shovelling the driveway let alone the roof...yes, i have a steep incline for my roof...one less thing to worry about.
pardon me but I couldn't let it go .. yes, roof slope makes it easier for the roof to "clean" itself.. but, its PSF (Pounds per. Square Foot) Live (LL)/(DL) Dead Load values and characteristics or the structures members (rafters, trusses, sheeting) and window & door headers .. need to accomodate roughly 30LL/15DL as a minimum criteria in snow regions. 40/15 is better.<br /><br />pardon the tech geek in me.
