PENINSULA TIMBERS

Passing this timber yard in my search for portal frames in the Rosebud factory estate and saw this truss portal warehouse used for timber storage. View of the parallel trusses showing fly bracing and z purlins attached to cleats held off the top chord of the trusses. Safety mesh and insulation above.
Close up of the truss web and the purlins attached by cleats to the top chord of the truss.

View of girts with wall cladding attached and 50x50 zinc anneal angle bracing.
