Welcome to REES snow retention systems

We are your manufacturer and partner for construction parts and accessories for various types of metal roofs.


Originating from the tinsmith's shop Rees in Oberstdorf, we have been dealing with the execution of metal roofs for decades. The location of our handicraft business in the Allgäu Alps and the associated activity in one of the snowiest areas of Germany and the Austrian Kleinwalsertal, always brings forth new experiences, which we constantly incorporate into the development of our products.

With our comprehensive know-how, we offer excellent solutions that function reliably and guarantee high product and service quality for years to come.

- Snow retention systems, steps and walking gratings, solar holders and our clip product range.

Now think about your snow retention

In recent years it has been shown that despite global warming, winter can still hit hard. It is therefore still important to have a snow guard system on the metal roof that corresponds to the load assumptions according to the relevant standards. Use the summer months to assemble the quality systems. Snow guard systems for metal roofs have been manufactured at REES for decades. The snow guard flaps are attached to the folded roof using a tried-and-tested clamping system without damaging the roof skin. This means that the length of the roof sheeting can continue to expand. We also offer the right accessories such as extension elements, double-tube snow guards, snow stoppers and much more. REES snow guard systems are ideally suited for the traditional standing seam technique as well as for modern, industrially manufactured profiles such as Kalzip® or Bemo® as well as for trapezoidal and sandwich roof profiles. We would be happy to provide you with an installation proposal for your property. Please ask your specialist dealer.
