Rooftop Rails

Rooftop rails provide the widest support base for attaching to all types of EPDM, rubber, standing seam, and metal type roofs. The rails provide an elevated platform for attaching screen fencing columns and diagonal supports. Using a continuous rooftop rail for both the columns and diagonal supports further supports your screen fencing windloads. These rails come in various lengths and widths based on your screen fencing and roofing design.

Diagonal Supports

Diagonal supports include column mounted pivot and rail attached pivot brackets and aluminum tubular diagonal supports. The diagonal supports are attached to the pivot brackets with stainless steel bolts. Each diagonal support system will be designed according to the rooftop rail length, screen fencing type, and application. By continuously connecting the screen fencing to the rooftop rails and diagonal supports, you create a structural support system highly capable of supporting even the most demanding needs for wind loads.

Rooftop Equipment Cantilevered Supports

When there is no opportunity to connect the screen fence to the rooftop due to lack of structural support, you may be able to attach the screen fence directly to the mechanical equipment. This is determined according to whether the equipment features an external structural skeleton for this type of attachment.  PalmSHIELD will work directly with you to design a cantilevered truss system that matches and attaches to this structure. The cantilevered trusses extend from the equipment and attach directly to the screen fencing. This may be done at each column or alternating based on the screen fencing type and demands.
