Calculation of short snow guards

A snow guard that only covers a short part of the length of the building, e.g. over a door, runs a considerable risk of being overloaded. We have developed a calculation in order to safeguard the function. Enter your details below to ascertain whether it will hold. To achieve a stronger snow guard, the distance between the brackets can be reduced (max. 1200 mm – min. 600 mm).
