Seeing a lot of these metal carports collapsing from weight of ice/snow. I have a shop that’s a metal building with 15’ roof on a 4/12 pitch. Any recommendations (besides being on the roof) to remove the snow buildup?

Ladder > leaf blower

If it's frozen haul a shovel up there and try to push it from the top so it all slides off, might get lucky.

Hot saltwater


Make sure you rinse the hell out of whatever metal you put salt on. Salt will corrode metal super fast.
