Colorado Chapter beats the heat with presentation on snow retention systems
The Colorado Chapter was pleased to present virtual education of 1.5 CEH’s discussing Snow Retention Systems presented by Lars Walberg of Rocky Mountain Snow Guards, Inc. Twelve attendees learned the difference between snow guards, snow rails, and snow bars. We also learned about design considerations for snow retention systems on the roofs and how geographical weather trends and snow loads affect the design. Thanks Lars for the informative session!
