Abstract (en)

The present disclosure relates to a snow stopper (1) for connection or integration with a roof (2), preferably a pitched roof (2). The snow stopper (1) comprises a wire portion (30) for interacting with and holding back the snow and a base portion (10) which interfaces with the roof (2). The base portion (10) is provided by an elongate strip (11) of sheet material, preferably metal or plastic, extending in a first direction, the elongate strip (11) being bent along the first direction so as to form a fixing post (13) at a first end of the elongate strip (11). The wire portion (30) is removably attachable, or fixedly attached, to the fixing post (13) such that it will extend away from the surface of the roof (2) when the snow stopper (1) is positioned on the roof (2). Furthermore, the fixing post (13) is provided with a series of parallel slots (15) which pass there-through, so that the sections of the fixing post (13) may be bent out of the plane of the fixing post (13) to create channels (16) between the unbent sections of the fixing post (13) and the inner side of the bent bands (17), wherein the channels (16) are so shaped so as to accept sections of the wire portion (30) for holding the wire portion (30) to the snow stopper (1).
