A thin layer of snow is rare in our country. Therefore, it needs to be removed from the roof periodically.

It puts too much stress on the roof and if the roof is defective, problems can occur.

Removing snow from a roof is relatively difficult, as it must not only be removed, but also hauled away from the area.

Let's look into this issue in more detail.

Why shouldn't you leave snow on your roof?

It is not light snow that is dangerous, but so-called heavy snow, which consists of a certain percentage of water.

It is important to monitor not only the roof of the house, but also the roof of the greenhouse made of polycarbonate - this material can easily collapse under wet snow.

A large amount of snow can fall from the roof - this is dangerous for health. It is better to control its amount with improvised tools.

It is believed that snow should be removed from the roof of a country house at least once every two weeks.
