The winter is in full
swing and most roofs in the northern states as well as all of Canada are
covered in snow. While most of these roofs don’t leak when it rains, they will
leak in the winter, when the snow and ice are on the roof. Trying to remove ice dam all by yourself can
be very dangerous, so to help prevent your metal shed collapsing here are the
ways how you can do it.
In countries where there is
snow fall, people should build houses made of wood and the roof top should be metal
or asbestos made. If the roof top of the house in a snow country is build in
horizontal or parallel to earth (flat surface) then there are chances of snow
deposit on roof top and if there is enough snow deposit, it could collapse the shed
as well as the house completely.
So, to avoid this situation;
people in snow countries should mount the shed in slanting direction on the
roof top of the house. Whenever there are snow falls, all snow deposits will
fall to the ground due to slanting of shed thus preventing it from collapsing.
Moreover, the metal shed
should be supported by long wooden blocks or iron rods beneath it. This will
make the shed even more strong from being collapsing. Also, the metal shed
should be periodically monitored that there are no rust or corrosion in the
shed. If you find any rust in the metal shed then do not forget to give a paint
coating on the shed on a bright sunny day. This will prevent the shed from
being collapsed.
Instead of the above mentioned
measures, periodically check the level of ice dam on the shed. If enough ice
gets deposited in the shed this can collapse the roof. So, to avoid this
situation snow should be cleared by wooden mob periodically from the shed.
Condition gets worsened when there are heavy snow fall so you have to be aware
in these circumstances.
If you follow all the
preventive measures mentioned above then it is sure you could prevent your
metal shed from being collapsing.
