Last winter when we had that major snow storm here in the states, a friend of mine ventured out of her house to find that her shed had collapsed due to the weight of snow on the roof. Snow destruction of roofs sounds like a joke, but it really isn’t. The Easy Heat Roof Snow De-Icing Kit can help mitigate some of that winter damage and save your homes and sheds.

These cords go directly on the roof and melt snow as it falls, before it has a chance to pile on to form a crushing blanket of cold. The water will flow into the gutter and to the ground, but likely form quite an ice collection as it cools back down. Of course, ice on the ground by the spout is preferable to caved in roof from snow build up.

This comes in cable lengths from 20-200 feet so it is suitable for a wide range of homes and storage areas. If you live in a snowy area, this won’t replace having your roof checked up and retiled every decade but it may help extend the life of the structure. Easy Heat Roof Snow De-Icing Kit is $99.99 for 200 feet.
