THE APEX II allows for a more open feeling with the elimination of the wall decking.

SHELTER SIZE

The Apex shelter size refers to the distance across the front of the shelter at ground level. For example, a 40’ Apex amphitheater measures at ground level, 40’ back to back of the arch span, (the outermost edge of the front left exterior arch to the outermost edge of the front right exterior arch). The depth of the amphitheater is measured at ground level, from center front, to center back wall. The arch leg height is measured from ground level to the underside of the deck (the back of the arch leg) Custom sizes are also available.

THE APEX AND THE APEX ii PACKAGE COMPONENTS
 

BEAMS:
Pressure treated, prior to gluing, laminated perimeter beams and the interior purlins. Steel connections and bolts that connect the beams to the arches.

ROOF PITCH

DESIGN LOADS

The typical design load allows for:
12 pounds per square foot dead load
30 pounds per square foot live load
20 pounds per square foot wind load. (Equates to 100 MPH)

There are variables that affect the design sizes of the members, specifically the arches and the interior purlins, and those variables generally include live load conditions which are usually location specific. Building Codes usually dictate the applicable loads to be applied in the member size designs.

PRESSURE PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT
As noted in the list above, all components are treated: the wood arches, beams and purlins, wall and roof decking, and the fascia are fabricated with lumber pressure treated, with Penta WR Type “C” (.3 pcf [3 tenths of a pound of preservative per cubic foot of wood] retention).
EnWood utilizes the pentachlorophenol treatment because of its premier qualities and the treatment does not discolor the wood and can be stained or painted.
