| SECONDARY FRAMING |
| GIRTS (in sidewall) and PURLINS (IN ROOF) are 8" or 10" to meet design requirements. Cold rolled Z-section, 12 to 16 ga. ASTM A-570, 50,000 p.s.i. yield material is used, to provide maximum strength. Bypass girt system overlaps at sidewall columns forming a continuous "beam" for extra strength. PURLINS are top-mounted on the rafter with a varied lap of 1 ft. to 5 ft. for strength and cost savings in erection labor. Maximum purling spacing is 5 ft. on center. EVE STRUT is cold-formed C-section that is rolled for the appropriate roof pitch, to help insure weather tightness at the eave. RAKE ANGLE is a continuous angle supplied for the attachment of the sheeting at the rake of the building, for ease of installation. BASE ANGLE is a continuous angle, supplied for the attachment of the base of the sheeting to the concrete. Base Angle is to be attached to the concrete with ram-sets or equivalent anchors by others. BRACING Diagonal galvanized cable bracing is supplied for roof and walls to remove longitudinal load from the structure. Galvanized cable is used rather than solid rod to prevent the bracing from "sagging" under its own weight and it is easier to install. Angle Flange Bracing is provided for the connection of the rigid frame to the purlins and girts. FRAMED OPENING have cold-formed C-section jambs and headers to help insure easy installation of over-head doors, etc. |
| FASTENERS |
| STRUCTURAL BOLTS meet requirements ASTM Standards - (A-325 for primary frame connections; A-307 for secondary framing). SELF-DRILLING AND SELF-TAPPING FASTENERS are pre-assembled with neoprene washers and metal caps to help insure weather tightness. |
| CLOSURES |
| CLOSED CELL NEOPRENE STRIPS with self-adhesive backing used to help seal building. This is located at eave, gable and base of building to help provide weather tightness. These are pre-formed shapes to match panel configuration providing a tighter seal. 1 -1/2" SHEETING NOTCH at base of concrete where panel sits is designed into every building.The sheeting notch provides an air infiltration stop on blanket insulated buildings. |
| SEALANTS |
| Sealant for roof side laps, end laps and flashing at gable is provided to help insure weather tightness. A nominal 3/8"x1/8" thick pressure sensitive tape sealant for ease of installation is used. |
| RIDGE CAP |
| We use LONG OVERLAP to help prevent water from siphoning into building. |
| TRIM AND FLASHING |
| All buildings are fully trimmed at rake (gable), corners and eaves with a standard trim material for a more finished look. This not only improves look of building but is an additional deterrent to moisture, insects and dirt getting into the building. |
| PLANS AND DRAWINGS |
| ANCHOR BOLT setting plan, building reactions for foundation design, erection manual and Engineer Letter of Certification are provided shortly after receipt of deposit for building.
ERECTION DRAWINGS provide step by step instructions for ease of assembly by dealer or customer.
ENGINEER CERTIFIED APPROVAL DRAWING, including wall and roof framing diagrams, cross sections, sheeting and flashing details are provided. These drawings show clearly the proper erection and assembly of all building components.
ALL PARTS ARE NUMBERED. A part number is placed on each component (other than sheeting, screws, etc.). These part numbers concede with a detailed listing contained in the construction drawings and shipping list to help with the easy assembly of the building.
|
| PRIMARY FRAMING |
| This consists of columns for sidewall and rafters for roof. |
| SOLID I-BEAM construction for optimum strength |
| The material used is a minimum of 50,000 and 36,000 p.s.i. yield strength. (Some manufactures use 35,000 p.s.i. yield strength material, which is not as strong.) The frames are single bead, continuous arc weld by automatic welding machines to help insure quality control. Then a factory primer coat is used to help protect them during the erection process. END WALL FRAMES AND COLUMNS are either cold formed, mill-rolled or built-up "I" sections depending on design requirements. |
