PRIMARY FRAMING
Solid I-Beam
Hot rolled beam with narrow tapered flanges. Also referred to as "S" Shape. Steel sections (angles, channels, S-shapes, W-shapes, etc.) which are formed by rolling mills while the steel is in a semi-molten state.
End Wall Frames and Columns
Steel sections (angles, channels, S-shapes, W-shapes, etc.) which are formed by rolling mills while the steel is in a semi-molten state. Endwalls vary between hot rolled, post and beam, expandable and non-expandable, depending on your project requirements.
SECONDARY FRAMING
Girts (in sidewall) & Purlins (in roof) Steel sections (angles, channels, S-shapes, W-shapes, etc.) which are formed by rolling mills while the steel is in a semi-molten state.
Eave Strut
A structural member located at the eave of a building, which supports roof and wall paneling. Base angle An angle secured to a wall or foundation used to attach the bottom of the wall paneling. Bracing Rods, angles or cables used in the plane of the roof and walls to transfer loads, such as wind, seismic and crane thrusts to the foundation.
SHEATHING
80,000 p.s.i. – Galvalume sheeting for roof and sidewall panels. Sheeting is standard in 26 gauge, and is available in 24 gauge as well. PBR Panel design gives each panel on the roof and sides additional overlapping compared to standard R Panels.

FASTENERS
Self-Drilling and Self-Tapping Fastener are typically provided, however stainless steel fasteners may also be requested which contains a high percentage of chromium to increase corrosion resistance. Also may contain nickel or copper.
PLANS
Anchor Bolt Setting Plan, A plan view drawing showing the diameter, location and projection of all anchor bolts for the components of the Metal Building System and may show column reactions (magnitude and direction). The maximum base plate dimensions may also be shown.
Erection Drawings Roof and wall erection (framing) drawings that identify individual components and accessories furnished by the manufacturer in sufficient detail to permit proper erection of the Metal Building System. These drawings upon request may also be certified and stamped by an engineer for permit approval.
