bob_moody Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 How do you guys plan on keeping the snowflakes on the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75redman Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 How do you guys plan on keeping the snowflakes on the roof?I will be utilizing a small gauge wire attached to the top and the bottom of each snowflake. I have tile roofing so the top wire will be wrapped around the peak tile on the roof and the bottom wire attached to the facia part of the roof with a hook. This will keep everything flat and tight so the wind doesn't move any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevikester Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have 10 of the 42 inch snowflakes from target also....I zip tied 4 18" pieces of rebar to the back, in a square, and they didn't move an inch the entire season. Just layed them on the roof and was goodto go! That was a new piece last year, and people loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainyoregonchristmas Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I had a dozen hand made incan snowflakes last year. I'm planning on adding 4 more for this year, I'd love to do more but don't have the channels. Even with 128 for this year I don't want to give up any more for snowflakes. As far as attaching them I just I welded a bracket on mine which I then bolted to 1/4" rod which was welded to a main 3/8" center rod. They are then attached to the eve using a bracket and deck screws. You can see them on the side of my house. http://sdrv.ms/18X2PW1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
