Homeowner in Arctic climate needs a reliable low-slope roof that prevents dangerous snow accumulation from sliding off as large chunks, but snow stops on metal roofs are not durable and fail over time.

Workarounds Described

• uses snow stops on existing metal roof which have ripped out
• considers tar and gravel as alternative to avoid snow stop issues

Implied Software Gaps

• Software to simulate snow loads and recommend optimal snow stop placement and retention system configuration for low-slope metal roofs
• Database of historical snow stop failures by region and roof type to predict reliability
