I am a metal man (retired) by trade, and I had been looking at the various offerings online for snow guards. I settled on Stortz and Son, when one day I thought, why not make them myself? I went to Online Metals and priced the raw stock. That put me at 7.50 per unit, without even locating set screws or fastening hardware, as I was going to go 2 pieces, and machine screw them together. Haven’t even begun talking about my labor yet, or the fact that these would be real plain Janes, as creating an ornamental look would be prohibitively time consuming. So I ordered a small quantity of the Snow Guardian Classic to see what I could expect, and I was more than pleased; they arrived quickly, and they are substantial, nice to look at, and fit my hand done seamed roof well. I will be ordering the balance of my requirements shortly, and I can tell all of you, that these I couldn’t make for twice the price they’re asking.
