I was thinking maybe about attaching some pieces of mudflaps or something like that to increase the surface area that is going across the roof?? Don't know if that would work...

I tried that rope trick on my barn about 2-3 years ago. had almost 3 feet of snow/ice on a 4:12 pitch roof. I was able to saw thru the entire thing, but nothing ever came off of the roof.

I ended up having to bring in 2 salamander heaters , each running 175,000 BTU to shed the building.

Well, after a number of snow storms the greenhouse has done very well. I did make it a point to go out as soon as the storm was over to push (from the inside) with a soft floor mop and knock off the snow buildup. Trying to keedp the weight down as much as possible.
Will start to sow seed the first of April.
