Roofing panels with water shedding features may be installed on the roof of a house or other structure in lieu of or as an underlayment for traditional roofing materials. The water shedding features can be built into a base of the roofing panels, as part of a frame for the roofing panels, or formed as part of a waterproofing layer applied to the base of the roofing panels, or which can be configured as a roofing panel. The roofing panels also can be installed in overlapping courses along a roof with water shedding features applied thereto or incorporated along one or more peripheral edges. The water shedding features of adjacent roofing panels will collect and divert water away from the upper surfaces and/or away from headlap and/or sidelap joints defined between the roofing panels.

The present disclosure is directed to mounts for antennas and radio equipment, and more particularly to mounts for antennas on and radio equipment on the top of a building or commercial structure. One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a sector frame. The sector frame may have a plurality of structural members, including antenna pipes for the mounting of electronic equipment, and a face pipe along which the antenna pipes are disposed. In some embodiments, the antenna pipes and the face pipe may form an antenna pipe array which is rotatable about three perpendicular axes. Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for adapting a sector frame to a substrate. The method includes the step of attaching an extension to a base of the sector frame, wherein a portion of the base of the sector frame is in contact with the substrate, and wherein a portion of the extension is in contact with the substrate.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide for modular snow and ice retention and mounting systems. In various embodiments, a bracket may comprise a mounting strap, a hybrid pad, a bracket assembly and a rod. The hybrid pad may comprise a face portion and a support portion. The face portion and the support portion may be operatively coupled together. The hybrid pad may be operatively coupled to the mounting strap. The face portion may comprise a stiffening rib. The stiffening rib may be defined in a front surface of the face portion. The stiffening rib may define a first load plane. The face portion may also define a first rod notch. The first rod notch may be defined on a first side of the face portion. The face portion may also define a second rod notch. The rod may be mountable to the hybrid pad.
