I have a 40X80 pole building with a medal roof. I have a woodstove chimney halfway down one side that get wiped out each time the snow slides off of the roof. The chimney exit's out the side wall and 90's up past the eave. Have any of you had this problem and found a way to make something to protect a chimney from about a 22X80 slab of sliding snow? The chimney is braced to the eave as it passes the roofline. Either the pipe gets bent or the brace gets yanked out of the 2X6 it's laged to. I'd run a cable up some on the roof to brace it, but I don't want to put any holes it the roof unless you think it would work. Thanks.
