Snow stop includes a base member, and a snow-restraining member. The snow stop can have a series of holes for ventilation of adhesive as well as for forming “glue-rivets” with cured adhesive, and can have slots (grooves) to the holes or boundary of the snow stop to assist in ventilating adhesive solvent. The holes and grooves also can provide for increased physical bonding with the adhesive and hence, roof. The base may be round with the snow-restrainer included in intersecting upstanding members.

Abstract:
A roofing system has a sheet surface which may include standing ridges or batten ridges, and the sheet surface has a predetermined arrangement of three dimensional features in addition to the standing ridges or the batten ridges. A snow stop may be installed in conjunction therewith, and may have lower protrusions which may be generally complimentary thereto and/or a snow wedge so as to further help keep it from being disengaged by typical shear and/or peel forces after installation. Thus, for example, as with aluminum or steel standing seamed roofs, added fence type snow guards with their brackets and so forth can be avoided, and/or individual snow stops can be installed so as to have greatly increased holding power to the roofing surface, even in notable cases when applied by underskilled workers.
