S-5!® ColorGard® Snow Retention

Keep snow and ice where it belongs — on the roof, melting safely — instead of avalanching onto people, pets, landscaping and gutters below.

Authorized Distributor & Installer

The Snow Fence Built for Standing-Seam Metal

A smooth metal roof sheds snow fast — and a sudden rooftop avalanche can damage gutters, crush landscaping, bury entryways and hurt someone. Patriot Metals distributes and installs S-5! ColorGard, the industry-leading snow retention system engineered to hold snow on the roof so it releases gradually as it melts.

Snow Retention

Holds Snow Where It Falls

ColorGard creates a continuous barrier near the eave that grips the full snow bank, preventing the dangerous slides that smooth metal roofs are known for.

  • Protects people, pets, vehicles and entryways below
  • Prevents torn-off gutters and crushed landscaping
  • Engineered and load-tested for real snow loads

Non-Penetrating

No Holes. No Leaks. No Voided Warranty.

ColorGard mounts to S-5! clamps that attach to the standing seam with round-point setscrews — gripping the seam without ever penetrating the roof panel. Nothing to leak, and your panel finish warranty stays intact.

  • Attaches to the seam — never through the roof
  • No sealants to fail or maintain over time
  • Tested holding strength on the seam

Color-Matched for Life

Matches Your Roof — and Stays Matched

ColorGard's signature feature: a strip of your actual roof panel material snaps into the bar, so the snow fence matches your roof color exactly and weathers identically — it won't fade out of sync the way painted accessories do.

  • Uses a piece of your real roof material for a perfect match
  • Ages with the roof — no mismatched fading
  • Clean, low-profile look on any color
