BUILDING ACCESSStructural Framed OpeningsYou can opt to purchase a framed openingwithout a door to provide access to thebuilding. Obviously this does not provideany security, but if your building is goingto operate more like a carport this may bea good choice for your project.
BUILDING ACCESSSectional DoorsSame as a residential garage door and areoften 8’ wide x 8’ tall or or 16’ wide by 8’tall but can be larger or smaller than thosepopular sizes. These doors can bemanually operated or come with anelectric opener.
BUILDING ACCESSRoll Up DoorsThese doors retreat into a large canisterabove the framed opening. Are a goodchoice for small vehicle access like amotorcycle, ATV or lawn tractor but dorequire the building to be taller than abuildings with sectional doors.

BUILDING ACCESSSliding (Stack) DoorsSliding doors stack inside the building andare usually less expensive than a bi-folddoor. Sliding doors can provide the samelevel of access as a bi-fold door but do notoffer the traditional look of an aircrafthangar.
BUILDING ACCESSBarn DoorsThese doors are regularly seen on farmbuildings and barndominiums. They aresimilar to an aircraft hangar’s sliding doorsexcept these doors slide out and over theexterior of the building rather thanstacking into the interior.

VENTILATIONLouversAre inserted into the wall panels andfeature not only a vent but also a fan totransfer fumes outside the building.
VENTILATIONRidge Vent with DamperThis vent is installed along the ridge of theroof to provide a way for rising fumes andexhaust to leave the building. This type ofventilation differs from a louver because itis manually opened using a chain and doesnot rely on a fan to push the air frominside to the outside.
VENTILATIONCupolasAre most commonly found on agriculturalbuildings because they deliver a traditionalbarn look. These small complements to theroof line can be outfitted with louvers toprovide ridge line ventilation.

NATURAL LIGHTWall LightsAre also referred to as light transmittingpanels. These wall panels are equallystrong as standard 26 gauge sheeting butallow some filtered natural light to passthrough the building’s perimeter.

NATURAL LIGHTSkylightsInstalled in the roof of the building, theseclear openings offer an alternative toelectrical overhead lighting. Skylights arealways fixed, so if you are looking for roofventilation, we suggest adding a ridgevent in addition to the skylights.
NATURAL LIGHTFixed WindowsYield unfiltered natural light horizontallyacross the building’s interior. Fixedwindows start at 3030 but opposed to thehorizontal or vertical slide windows, theseopenings offer different shapes such as a2070 or 1070.
NATURAL LIGHTCupolasCan feature fixed windows below theaccessory’s 7:12 roof pitch. The lightprovided by these small windows is oftenmore aesthetic than functional since thelight will not penetrate the building’sinterior in a wide manner.

Preventing Accumulation of Water and Moisture
MOISTURE & WATER MITIGATIONGutters and DownspoutsGutters run parallel to the building’sroofline and connect to your choice of 10’to 28’ downspouts. As the roof of yourbuilding sheds water, this system carriesthe moisture away from the building’sfoundation, framing and connections.

MOISTURE & WATER MITIGATIONRoof PitchCan be as low as .25:12 to as steep as 6:12and play both an aesthetic as well asfunctional purpose. A 1:12 roof can beengineered to endure the same snow loadas a 6:12, the steeper roof does naturallyshed snow easier than the lower pitch.
MOISTURE & WATER MITIGATIONBolt on CanopiesThese small overhangs provide coverageover walk doors which can keep the metalcomponents cool in warm weather andalso keep snow from accumulating next tothe entrance during the winter.
