FRAMING SYSTEMS

A type of metal structure featuring a “gable roof” design, meaning it has 2 sloping sides that meet

Gable Symmetrical

Gable Unsymmetrical

Gable Unsymmetrical

The gable roof design features two sloping sides meeting at a central ridge, forming a triangular shape at the end walls. This versatile and cost-effective style is ideal for garages, shops, barns, warehouses, and residential use.

Gable Unsymmetrical

Gable Unsymmetrical

Gable Unsymmetrical

 The unsymmetrical gable roof features an off-center peak, with one side of the slope longer than the other. This design is ideal for sites requiring an offset roof peak for functional or aesthetic purposes. 

Single Slope

Gable Unsymmetrical

Single Slope

A single slope building features

a roof that slopes in one

direction, creating a single, inclined roof plane from one

side of the structure to

 the other.

Lean-To

Gable Unsymmetrical

Single Slope

A lean-to building is a single-sloped metal structure attached to the side of an existing building, using the main structure’s wall for roof support. It provides a cost-effective additional storage or shelter, expanding the building.

SECONDARY FRAMING

Z Purlin

C or Z Girts

Z Purlin

 The purlin spans between frame lines and is spaced at intervals of up to 5 feet, depending on local building code requirements. 

Joists

C or Z Girts

Z Purlin

 Joists are used to span between frame lines when larger bay sizes are needed, typically ranging from 40 to 60 feet. 

Eave Strut

C or Z Girts

C or Z Girts

 The eave strut is installed at the eave—either at the gable end of a structure or at both the low and high sides of a single-slope building. It spans between frame lines and sits atop the rafters. 

C or Z Girts

C or Z Girts

C or Z Girts

 Girts are secondary wall members that span between frame lines and are vertically spaced from the slab to the eave in accordance with local building codes. C sections are commonly used for framed openings, header support, and for attaching metal wall panels to masonry and other structures. 

COLUMN TYPES

Tapered Column

Straight Column

Straight Column

Structural support column that gradually grows from the base of the column to the top of the column. 

Straight Column

Straight Column

Straight Column

  Structural support column that maintains a consistent width from the top to the bottom. 

Bracing methods

X-Bracing

Portal Bracing

Portal Bracing

Metal building bracing system that are installed in an “X”

pattern between the columns.

It runs from the base of one column to the top of the adjacent column. 

Portal Bracing

Portal Bracing

Portal Bracing

Structural bracing system that uses a frame consisting of two vertical columns connected to a horizontal beam. Typically these are used when a door or window needs to be placed within the bay that requires bracing. 

wall girt conditions

Bypass Girt

Bypass Girt

Bypass Girt

Horizontal supports attached to building columns, running around the building's exterior without touching the columns. This creates a gap between the column and the wall panel, allowing the girts to bypass the columns completely.

Flush Girt

Bypass Girt

Bypass Girt

Horizontal supports installed directly against the exterior columns, making the outside

face of the wall panels align perfectly with the column

 surface, creating a smooth

and even appearance
