Our standard design buildings all feature purlin X braced purlins - not straight runs. Our X design provides superior strength. Our buildings do not move as much during moderate to strong winds because of our X design and cabling.
X Bracing - FOR REDUCED SNOW AND ICE BUILDUP: Straight runs of purlins tend to allow snow and ice to be retained and to more readily build up. You can see purlins forming 'terraces' in the photo to the side.
We have more cabling in out buildings than cometing desings. We use heavy duty turnbuckles - double nutted so they cannot twist. We double clamp the cable ends. X-bracing the purlins and cabling gives us superior strength and lateral bracing.
