BUILDING ANATOMY
1. Sub-assembled doors with attached hinges.
2. 2x3 wall studs have been engineered to support roof load and to meet demanding wind loads.
3. Sidewall top and bottom plates tie wall studs together and provide nailing support for top and bottom edge of siding.
4. Rafters line up over wall studs to effectively transfer roof load to the floor and eliminate need for double top plate.
Oversized wood gussets at peak provide a strong connection for rafter halves.
5. Treated siding overhangs the wall framing and floor to keep the elements out.
6. Collar tie and over-door header maintains door frame integrity.
7. Corner studs & end rafters are positioned to the outside of the siding where they serve the dual purpose of framing and trim.
8. The EZ Frame design transfers the roof load to the front and back walls allowing for reduced framing at the side walls.
9. Treated floor frame and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) floor (not included).
This building has been designed using our patented EZ Frame construction method.
EZ Frame is a unique construction method which has been engineered to use fewer
framing members. This reduces assembly time and cost by as much as 30% compared to
conventional construction methods.
EZ Frame patent no. 5,666,766
All of our buildings have been engineered to withstand demanding wind and snow loads.
