Answer: With standard 2"x4" rafters the snow load is 30lbs. With optional 2"x6" rafters the snow load is increased to 50lbs. The wind load with standard 25 year asphalt shingles is 60 mph, with 30 year shingles - 90 mph, and metal roof - 110 mph.

While no specific load ratings are available, this style of dome roof has been manufactured for more than 50 years. Hundreds of domes have been installed in heavy snow country, such as upper Minnesota and Quebec. In high wind areas, we recommend and have available inconspicuous wind reinforcing rings.

This will vary. Please contact us for any special requirements you may have. With most of our products we are able to meet any wind or snow loads required.

We've have never experienced a problem during Wisconsin winters, however there is a possibility it could occur during a very heavy snow load. In order to prevent it from collapsing, a temporary "T" brace made out of 2X2's or similar should work on the 4X4 single blynd. You want to be able to wedge it in place from the floor to the roof. The 4X8 double wide will need 2 supports on the inside perimeter. There is a metal roof support in the middle.

There are four design loads in Larimer County. For elevations under 7000 feet the ground snow load is 30 pounds per square foot (psf). Elevations from 7001 feet to 7999 feet the ground snow is 40 psf. From 8000 feet to 8999 feet the ground snow is 50 psf. For elevations 9000 feet and over the ground snow load is 70 psf. The minimum basic wind speed is 100 mph (3 second gust) and exposure "C" will be assumed. Frost depth for this region is assumed to be 30 inches minimum.

This answer varies a great deal all across the United States. One way to get a better idea of what these requirements are is to click here to enter your dealer's or factory-direct rep's eBuildings pricing website. Each eBuilding is displayed at the known minimum snow and wind loads (defaulted to "code" type buildings) for the zipcode you enter! Otherwise, it's best to consult with your local Lester dealer or factory-direct representative to determine the load requirements for your specific area.

In non-technical language, our standard structures can withstand winds of 120 mph with 30 psf of snow. Custom structures can be designed for even greater loads. A more technical explanation is that our engineers test each design using over 150 load cases for varying combinations of wind velocity, direction, and snowfall. These are true load cases, and don't allow questionable assumptions such as design pitch to shed snow loads.

Every Crown building is engineered to comply with regional building codes, wind load and snow load requirements.

No, our awnings do not carry snow or wind load specs. Please see the specifications page for details.

Every one of our yurt homes is engineered for your local building codes and site-specific requirements, such as snow loads, seismic, wind loads, exposure and soil bearing pressure.

This greenhouse is amazingly strong! The frame is tough and can support snow without a problem. Because the roof is rounded, most snow will slide off on its own. Provided that the greenhouse is properly tied down (which you should do with any greenhouse), this greenhouse won’t have a problem with wind. These greenhouses have even made it through hurricanes! This greenhouse differs from other Solexx greenhouses because it does not have the same built-in bench frames.

Ans.: Our systems are the only ones that have a static report and withstand 20 cm of snow and 100 Kg/m2 wind charge, without the use of supportive poles.

It is recommended but not necessary. Libart's enclosure systems are designed with bolt-down anchorages or continuous rails with specially designed profile systems to withstand loads specific to your location. Please contact your distributor to discuss which model best suits your needs.

Snow Roof may be tinted with universal latex colorants not to exceed 2 ounces of tint per gallon of Snow Roof. Colors will be in the light pastel ranges.

Many of the Stone Coated Steel roofing systems have been tested to withstand hurricane force winds. Stone Coated Steel roofing wind warranties can go as high as 120 m.p.h.

Maybe - but a wind turbine will operate more efficiently on a separate mast. Also, if your home is on the national grid, then there are more cost-effective ways to promote renewable energy.

When wind strikes the side walls or sloping roof of a building, it is deflected upward, creating a turbulance that tends to reduce the horizontal wind speed above the roof. To minimize the affect of turbulance on your readings, try to mount the wind sensor at least 5 feet and desirably 8 to 10 feet above the highest part of your roof.

Answer: The load capacity is roughly 1,100 lbs. We have seen them with as much as 23" of snow. Never the less, we do recommend that you brush the snow off the roof whenever it gets over a foot.

Call us with your Assessor's Parcel Number and we can look this up for you. (If you don't know your APN, visit our online Interactive GIS service.) A County-wide Snow Load Table is also available HERE.

This is a simple question with a not-so-simple answer. There is not an industry standard for wind load testing, as the number and choice of rails used, distance between posts, deepness of slat pockets, installation details, etc...all play a part in determining wind load testing. We can assure customers, however, that our most popular fence, as installed by us handles in-ground wind loads of well over 90 miles per hour.

Answer: Many of our current door and window products have wind-load ratings for coastal installations, and we will be adding several new product configurations during this year. Please visit our web site at wwwgcdoor.com and enter the PRODUCTS area to find our current wind-load information.

The brief synopsis, which follows, is from the test results report dated 1994 from Dade County Miami Florida pertaining to the wind load capacity of Monolite. Three typical Monolite panels 4' wide and 10' tall with 1" of field applied shotcrete on each face were installed vertically, side-by-side on a concrete slab, several inches in front of a rigid backup wall with space between the panels and the backup wall. The panels were tested per static-wind load test (PA202-94 manner of testing).

was the driest year of the three previous runnings, and there were short snowbanks to cross over most of the major passes, with a substantial amount (thigh deep) below Virginus Pass. In '95 almost the entire course was under snow, and the run was cancelled because of it. Expect anything in between. We'll post periodic snow reports here, as the season progresses. You can also check them yourself. There are unseasonable bare spots on the peaks above Silverton.

If possible, place the heavy objects in the middle of your roof-box, so that the overall payload will be distributed evenly over the load-bearing rack and the car. All packed articles must be securely tied down to prevent slipping. It is important to ensure, that the load does not present any obstruction to closing the roof-box, in order to prevent malfunction of the locking system. Never exceed the maximum roof load specified by the manufacturer.

Cover-All® buildings are pre-engineered for use around the world to withstand rated wind and snow loads. All design elements are researched, developed and rigorously tested to ensure they meet the stringent requirements necessary to maintain the quality and structural integrity of every building.

The Blue Link 480 is designed to last in the elements. Snow and ice will melt off, but if you are impatient you can brush it off yourself. If wind is a concern, the Blue Link 480 is certified to withstand the 150 mph wind requirements of Miami-Dade county when mounted to a simple 1 yard concrete pad.
