Vertical Metal Orientation walls utilizing horizontal hat channel wall girts.

Horizontal purlins and girts utilizing galvanized hat channel to horizontally cross the 5' framing system, allowing for all sheet metal to span vertically up the sides and the roof, also creating a stronger steel grid throughout the building. Vertical Metal utilizing hat channels are optional on smaller structures, required on larger structures. .

Base rail firmly connect legs to base rails and are reversed as header bars on the top too. 1/4" smaller tubing is welded to base rails for insertion and connection of upright legs, also allowing leveling action as needed!

Commercial leg options. For structure spanning greater than 24', up to 60' clear span, options are for doubled welded legs or laddered legs as seen in photo. Standard rails are 2 1/2' square galvanized tubing. Doubled legs are two welded pieces now 5' x 2 1/2" and laddered legs are tubing spaced with 8" 2 1/2 tubing spreaders between the tubing legs creating a laddered effect.

Double Leg Option RV Cover. Welded doubled leg and base rail option on this RV Cover.

Double legs are one option for spans greater than 24'. Two 2 1/2" tubes are welded together creating a stronger 14-gauge 5 x 2 1/2 leg.
