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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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

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

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.

The Daily Snow Depths have been removed because the information is no longer viable. Many of the sites where the information was recorded were all manually read and many times the information was not reliable. The snow depth stations are very old and several have been removed from service. We feel that the information provided was no longer reliable enough to warrant posting. A more comprehensive report on snow conditions is avaialble through the Department of Water Resources at: http://cdec. See similar questions...

The BritonMist ® system (as part of the Snowflex system) is insulated against frost, snow & ice by the integral shock absorption layer to help prevent pipes bursting. The BritonMist system is also installed in such a manner that surplus water in pipes can be drained down into the water tank at the end of everyday if need be, again reducing the potential for this happening.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Snow depth is the measurement from the top of the snow to ground level. The amount of water produced by a snowpack of a given depth varies depending on the density (water content) of the snowpack. Snow water equivalent is the amount of water that would be obtained by melting a depth of snow. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
