Abstract: A roof mounting bracket and roof mounting snow retention system are disclosed, in which the bracket creates a deformation in a roof panel seam using opposing set points. In a preferred embodiment, a generally U-shaped bracket includes two or more threaded fasteners in a first arm of the bracket and one or more opposing threaded fasteners in the second arm. Void in bracket is placed over the panel seam, with the first arm on a first side of the seam and the second arm on the opposite side of the seam. The opposing contact points of the screw heads create a “wave” deformation in the seam, securing the bracket to the seam. The opposing set points of the present invention allow secure attachment of the bracket to the seam without having to “dimple” or dent the panel seam using a single set screw, requiring less force by the user. In certain embodiments, the bracket includes a slidably removable compression member to accommodate wide or narrow seam roofs.

Abstract: A snow barricade mounting system for use with a membrane roof system is provided. The system includes a bracket having a base plate and an upstanding arm, and a means for securing the bracket to membrane roof. The system further comprises a membrane patch comprised of a material corresponding to the membrane layer. In one embodiment, bracket is coated with a material corresponding to the membrane layer and the membrane patch, such that when membrane patch is secured a complete seal between both the membrane patch and the base plate, and between the membrane patch and the membrane layer, is achieved. In an alternative embodiment, a sheet of material corresponding to the membrane layer material is secured to the top side of the base plate. A method of securing a snow barricade mounting system to a membrane roof system is also provided.
