Welcome to our 20' Series FS /
Model HC / Reinforced Freestanding Greenhouse Detail
Page
This page may take some time to load.The
illustrations/details have been formated as to allow them to be
printed of on 8 1/2" X 11" paper for those that wish to study the
details.
The only difference between the hard clad
structures Model HC and the poly clad structures Model DP is that
14 rows of 1 1/2" sq. ( 38 mm ) purlin steel is provided which are
evenly spaced along the face of the structure to provide
attachment points and support for the hard cladding panels. The
average spacing on the purlins is approximately 3 feet ( 0.9 M)
which allos the hard clad system to withstand considerable snow
and wind load before deformation of the panels occur.
Page One below illustrates a typcial section through the house using our standard 5 foot reinforced uprights.

Page two below illustrates a typical
section through the house using our optional 7 foot high
reinforced arch uprights. This provides higher sidewall and peak
heights. If you look in detail we provide two extra rows of purlin
steel. For those that wish even higher sidewalls ---- consider our
10 foot high sidewalls.
We find thouse wishing to build a hard clad storage building ( ie
farm equiment, air plan hangers Ie on our 36 foot and 40 foot wide
structures ), the optional sidewalls are ideal. )
Back to the greenhouse side of things we find growers wishing to
use the structures as retail houses like the higher sidewall
options. This provides addtional overhead clearance for bask crops
and the higher sidewalls allow full dimensional doors to be
located on the sidewalls. ( Just another usefull little feature
that we offer ).

The illustrations below show our standard
end wall frmaing and cladding packages. These are pretty much
identical for the Model DP houses so if you wish detailled
information look for this in our double poly house selection.

polycarbonate clad houses.
8 mm twinwall polycarbonate packages include the polycarbonate
cladding, galvanized ridge cap flashing, alum. H-splice and

Question and Answers
We commonly get asked this question. Can our houses be clad in
wood sheething ( ie plywood or OSB ) and then clad with roofing
ashpalt roofing shingles ?
The answer is Yes. 3/8" plywood and OSB can be curved around the structure and secured to the metal purlins with self tapping waffer screws. The shingles then attaches to the OSB/Plywood just as though it was a standard building roof. The same holds true for low rise metal V-rib siding. This approach provides a very durable long term afforable storage building that rivals the prices of pole buildings. Great to machine shops, storage buildings, repair shops, heated storage etc.
For those wishing to provide basic protection from rain, snow and wind .... consider a model DP house with single layer 10 mil reinforced poly. Very very economical...
