S-5!® X-Gard™ 2.0

S-5!® X-Gard™ 2.0- Snow Guards for Standing Seam Metal Roof

The most robust two-pipe system on the market. If bigger is better, then this is the best system in our snow guard arsenal.

S-5!® X-Gard™ 2.0 is mechanically attached with patented round-point setscrews, gripping the seam securely without penetration and without damage to the panel’s protective finishes. Roofs that collect large amounts of snow require tougher performance. S-5!® X-Gard™ 2.0 provides that heavy-duty, engineered assurance your project may need. This two-pipe, snow guard system is easily retrofitted to existing roofs or can be incorporated in new construction design. S-5!® X-Gard™ offers you a non-penetrating standing seam, snow guard system designed for heavy-duty, multi-pipe applications. It is also an ideal solution for use on solar PV roofs when extra height is required. X-Gard’s proprietary 8-sided NEX® 2” pipe provides superior beam strength compared to other crossmembers. Its unique pipe shape is formed from high-tensile aluminum.
