  • Page 9 BUILDING ANATOMY 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. If you live in an area with extreme wind/snow load requirement, contact us and we can assist with engineering to meet your local codes. 1. Sub-assembled doors. 2. 2x3 wall studs have been engineered to support roof load and to meet demanding wind loads. 3. Sidewall top 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 ties and storage loft tie sidewalls together to prevent spreading under heavy roof loads. 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 side walls allowing for reduced framing at the front and back wall. 9. Includes treated floor frame.
