Trusses are bolted to the framework and on field shelters the centre truss is bracketed to the front and back panels to prevent any wind uplift. |

kickboard lining
As standard we supply 11mm OSB to 4ft throughout, In some cases especially on taller buildings and on the frontages boards may be supplied for full height (To eaves). 1/2 height (4ft) Dividing walls are lined both sides and Full height (To eaves) are lined fully on one side to eaves and on the other to 4ft. Upgrades: 18mm OSB, 1/2 ich Ply. Please enquire as to these costs. Inner walls can also be utilised to build in socialising grilles.
Overhang
ANTI CHEWS.
Anti chew metals can be added to either door ways, usually for stables and to the openings and corners on shelters. Usually they are good points for the animals to rub so whilst they offer extra strength to the building they also stop any wear to the timber posts which can happen over time without them.

onduline roofing
Onduline is an extremely tough, lightweight, corrugated roofing and wall cladding material manufactured utilising a base board produced from recycled cellulose fibres which is saturated with bitumen under intense pressure and heat.
Onduline sheets are finished with a colour pigment and resin impregnation process which “stains” the colour into the sheet to provide excellent colour retention properties and enhanced U.V. resistance. We supply the colour black as standard but other colours available at extra cost. You can also line the underside of Onduline with boards and we can offer this as an upgrade, we usually recommend increasing the depth of the purlins to take the extra weight of the boards. |
clear roof light
We provide a clear roof light for each bay and usually its positioned on the back of the building. We are happy to provide additional sheets at an extra cost of £30 each. We try and ensure there is approx 10% of the roof covering as clear sheets to allow light into the building. These clear sheets have the same profile as the onduline sheeting.

guttering
Guttering is an optional extra on our buildings and is relatively inexpensive. As an approx costs allow for say £55 per 12ft section. The guttering is supplied as 1/2 round black as standard and usually has one down spout on either left or right side of buildings, more can be added especially on buildings that may get moved and the flow of water changes. Please enquire as to overall cost on your proposed project.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
We make it our priority to assemble buildings so that they are properly bolted together and also anchored down against winds. On fixed buildings that are usually fixed to concrete bases we use anchor bolts ensuring the building in fastened into the concrete, this is very important. Also mobile units are recommended to have temporary safety anchors fitted into the ground. We provide the brackets (which are also used as the towing eyes) which can be used with a range of fixings supplied by www.groundbolt.co.uk
For self builds we provide all the relevant fixings and fixing instructions along with video links.
