erected on your site. No welding just self-drilling or self-tapping screws with combination
metal and neoprene washer; a few nuts and bolts, all furnished with overage to allow
handing losses.
DESIGN CRITERIA: All computations for safe load, stress, deflection and the like are
in accordance with conventional methods of structural design. The American Iron and
Steel Institute Specification, has been used as a guide and American Pre-Fabricated
Products are in accordance with those specifications. Safety factors were used in the
design of the various members making up an American Pre-Fabricated Structure.
Actual experience and tests indicate loads can be in excess of the rated load without
causing permanent damage. This does not, however, guarantee the structure beyond
the design load.
Beams, purlins, girders and decking were designed in accordance with American Iron
& Steel Institute "Light Gauge Cold-Formed Structural Members". Columns and welded
plate members are in accordance with "Specifications for Design, Fabrications and
Erection of Steel Buildings".

ready for erection as received. Even the self-drilling hardware comes with
pre-assembled metal and neoprene washers.
PRE-PAINTED with TRIM: Roof deck panels can be furnished either galvanized or
with factory applied paint, a color on top surface and white primer on underside.
All structures are furnished with 2 1/2" facia either galvanized, white or in matching
color. Special facia available. Ask your representative.
