When Are Roof Stiffening Bars Required?

Roof stiffening bars are required in two primary scenarios. First, when stacking Kovobel containers — the bars distribute the weight of the upper container across the roof panel evenly, preventing localised stress. Second, in locations subject to heavy or prolonged snow loading, where the additional roof load capacity provides a safety margin above the standard rating.

Correct bar count is critical: this 1-bar pack is sized for 2.25m and 3m containers only. For 4m containers, select the 2-bar pack. For 5m and 6m containers, select the 3-bar pack.

Applications and Usage

• Container stacking — required when placing one Kovobel container on top of another
• High-snow-load environments — upland, rural and northern UK sites with significant winter snowfall
• Roof-mounted equipment — provides structural support for lightweight roof-mounted fittings
• Self-storage facilities — ensures stacked units meet safe working load requirements
