SHELTER SIZE

The Louisville shelter forms a hexagon and the size of the shelter refers to the distance across the shelter along the hip arch line which would be: the corner to corner width. For example, a 40’ Louisville shelter measures 40’ corner to corner of the roof. Custom sizes are also available.

THE Louisville PACKAGE COMPONENTS
 

BEAMS:
Laminated perimeter beams and the interior purlins. Steel connections and bolts that connect the beams to the arches.

ROOF DECK:
2x6 or 2x8” (nominal sizes) #1 grade, Southern Yellow Pine wood decking, tongue and groove and end-matched, is nailed to the top of the beams. Galvanized nails to attach the deck to the beams.

ROOF PITCH
The standard roof pitch for the Louisville is a 5/12 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 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 component list above, the wood arches are fabricated with lumber pressure treated (prior to gluing) with Penta-WR type “C”, at .3 pcf [3 tenths of a pound of preservative per cubic foot of wood] retention for “ground contact”). Fascia boards are treated with pentachlorophenol, and the .3 pcf retention is used.
EnWood utilizes the pentachlorophenol treatment because of its premier qualities and the treatment does not discolor the wood and can be stained or painted.
