| Q. |
What if I want a bay door opening on the
length-side of the building? |

A vertical column can be eliminated by
resting a roof frame on a wood or steel
header. |

| Q. |
Can I remove the (framing) form boards from my building perimeter. |
 |
 |
| A. |
Yes. If you elect to pour a cement floor
you can remove the forms after pouring.
(A clever trick is to place a cleat on the inside of the form board before concrete is
poured, then attach a metal channel to the
concrete and attach siding to it.) |

| Q. |
What if my code calls for 130 mph
wind-loading? Can I use Lumber Link? |
 |
 |
| A. |
YES, With modifications. Our generic
engineering to 80 mph is satisfactory for
the vast majority of building applications, but where severe conditions exist those
buildings we recommend you engage a
professional engineer. Pictured is perforated
metal strapping used for additional
wind bracing. |
