Are rain gutters appropriate in addition to snow stops for a hotel with a 5:12 standing seam metal roof in an area that receives heavy snow?

Yes. I always suggest 6" gutters, mounted as high as possible using fascia mount brackets into every rafter tail Todd Miller

+1 Todd is correct. Biggest issue with most gutters is that they are not hung from the rafters and therefore the resultant holding power is questionable to say the least. Snow fence/retention or some sort of gutter guard may also help. Eric Novotny
