We live in a very snowy area (Muskoka Ontario.) Part of our roof is steeply pitched and almost every spring, the snow cascades off the roof with a mighty roar and takes out part of the railing on the deck below. It's a pain.. I have installed several angle brackets on the roof about 20 inches apart. Each sticks up about 6 inches. Will this offer enough resistance to keep the snow from sliding off in one huge chunk or should I also lay a board across the brackets.
