GIRTS (in sidewall) and PURLINS (in roof)
are 8 in.or 10 in. to meet steel buildings design requirements. Cold rolled Z-section, 12 to 16 ga. ASTM A-57, 50,000 P.S.I. yield metal material is used to provide maximum strength. Bypass girt system overlaps at sidewall metal columns forming a continuous beam for extra strength.

are top-mounted on the rafter with a varied lap of 1ft to 5ft for strength and cost savings in erection labor. Maximum purlin spacing is 5ft on center
<<Top |

is a cold-formed C-section that is rolled for the appropriate metal buildings roof pitch to help insure weather tightness as the eave.

RAKE ANGLE
is a continuous angle supplied for the attachment of the sheeting at the rake of the steel building for ease of installation.
<<Top |
BASE ANGLE
is a continuous angle supplied for the attachment of the base of the steel buildings sheeting to the concrete. Base Angle is to be attached to the concrete with rams-sets or equivalent anchors by others.

BRACING
Diagonal galvanized cable bracing is supplied for roof and walls to remove longitudinal load from the steel structure. Galvanized cable is used rather than solid rod to prevent the bracing from “sagging” under its own weight and is easier to install. Angle Flange Bracing is provided for the connection of the steel buildings rigid frame to the purlins and girts. This makes sure that allowable compressions are adequate for any combination of loadings.

have cold-formed C-section jambs and headers to help insure easy installation of over-head doors, etc

METAL BUILDING SHEETING
- 80,000 P.S.I. yield material standard. Some steel buildings manufacturers use lower yield strength metal material, which is less resistant to damage from hail or other impacts.
- ALL COIL STEEL has a minimum of G-90 class galvanization (1.25oz hot dipped) on each side to help prevent deterioration of the steel buildings sheeting.
- DEEPER HIGH-RIB with more frequent corrugations. Provides extra strength.
- SIPHON GROOVE is rolled into all High-Rib roof sheeting to provide a built-in gutter system every 36 in. for the entire length of the metal building. Helping to prevent water from migrating into the roof system.
- OPTIONAL ARCHITECTURAL PANEL configuration is available for walls, mansard systems, soffit material, etc., to add an aesthetic appeal to your steel building.

FASTENERS
- STRUCTURAL BOLTS meet requirements ASTM Standards.
- A-325 for primary frame connections.
- A-307 for secondary framing.
- SELF-DRILLING AND SELF-TAPING FASTENERS are pre-assembled with neoprene washers and metal caps to help insure weather tightness.
<<Top |
CLOSURES
- CLOSED CELL NEOPRENE STRIPS with self-adhesive backing used to help seal steel building. Located at eave, gable and base of building to help provide weather tightness. Pre-formed shapes to match panel configurations providing a tighter seal.
- 1.5 in. SHEETING NOTCH at base of concrete where panel sits is designed into every steel building. Sheeting notch provides an air infiltration stop on blanket insulated metal building.
<<Top |
SEALANTS
- SEALANT for roof sidelaps, endlaps and flashing at gable is provided to help insure weather tightness. Nominal 3/8 in. x 1/8 in. thick pressure sensitive tape sealant for ease of installation.
<<Top |
RIDGE CAP
- LONG OVERLAP to help prevent water from siphoning into steel building.
<<Top |
STEEL BUILDING TRIM AND FLASHING
- All steel buildings are fully timed at rake (gable) corners and eaves, with standard trim metal buildings material for a more finished look. Not only improves look of steel buildings but is an additional deterrent to moisture, insects and dirt getting into steel buildings.

METAL BUILDING PLANS AND DRAWINGS
- ANCHOR BOLT setting plan.Steel Buildings reactions for foundation design, Metal Buildings Erection Manual and Engineer Letter of Certification are provided shortly after receipt of deposit for metal building.
- ERECTION DRAWINGS: provides step by step instructions for ease of assembly by dealer or customer.
- ENGINEER CERTIFIED APPROVAL DRAWINGS including, wall and roof framing diagrams, cross sections, sheeting and flashing details are provided. These drawings show clearly the proper metal buildings erection and assembly of all steel buildings components.
<<Top |
ALL METAL BUILDING PARTS ARE NUMBERED
- A part number is placed on each component (other than sheeting, screw, etc.). These part numbers coincide with a detailed listing contained in the metal buildings construction drawings and shipping list to help with the easy assembly of the metal buildings system.
