About this asset

This Revit detail component provides a three-tube snow fence assembly for roof safety, featuring a red metal finish for high visibility. The assembly consists of three parallel horizontal tubes secured by vertical mounting brackets designed for attachment to sloped roof surfaces. The structure is finished in a distinct red, indicating its utility as a safety or site-specific component. The geometry is straightforward, focusing on the linear arrangement of the tubes and the structural plates that maintain their spacing. This component is designed to prevent snow accumulation and sliding on roof planes, offering a clean, technical representation of a typical snow retention system for architectural documentation and coordination in project models.

The download is a 1.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit project environment. Once loaded, the family can be placed along roof edges or eaves to represent snow retention systems in 3D views and sections. It is recommended to use this component for visual coordination and to define the extent of snow guards. The family may be scaled or adjusted within the project parameters to align with specific roof pitch requirements or project-specific spacing needs.

This snow fence is essential for projects in cold climates where snow accumulation on sloped roofs poses a safety risk. It integrates seamlessly into residential, commercial, or industrial roofing plans, particularly on metal roofs where snow sliding is prevalent. Architects and engineers can specify this to ensure building code compliance regarding rooftop safety and site maintenance. Use this when documenting exterior roof details, site plans, or safety coordination drawings for projects requiring active snow management systems to protect building occupants and pedestrians.
