First blog post ever! The photos document a visit to Bunnings Waurn Ponds. In the timber section the long span portal frame was easily photographed.
View of the fixing between internal column and rafter, using a bolting configuration. The gentle slope of the roof can be seen in the rafter angle. Also visible is the central haunching.
The roof cladding is lined with a mesh-like material, and thin tension cross bracings are used to lock the structure together. Light is allowed through the clear sections in the roofing.
More views of the bolting connection, fly bracing is also positioned from the main rafter to support the purlins and prevent twisting.
The wall frame is connected to the column with fly bracing.
Connection used on the roof near an angled corner wall. Angled structural beams are bolted to cleats along the rafter.
View of the span of the interior space.
Cross bracing is used beneath the wall cladding. Because of the lack of wall cladding on the bottom half of the wall, no girts are needed. This allows easy access to the timber 'yard' via vehicles, etc.
