considerations
• Use a snow fence or snow guards to prevent snow
from sliding (not shown). Extend heating cable
above the snow fence a minimum of 6 inches
(15 cm).
• Ice will build up on the surfaces below the drip
loop or drip edge if gutters are not used.
• Ice may also build up on the vertical surfaces if
there isn’t a sufficient overhang or if there is a
strong wind. Use of a gutter system will prevent
this ice buildup.
