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.
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.

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.
