ABSTRACT:
A low cost building structure includes a support frame having a lateral cross section in the shape of a trapezium. The structure's enlarged base increases its stability while the inwardly inclined forward and aft supports increase its strength while reducing wind loading forces. Designed for field assembly and including a metal support frame as well as metal roof and wall panels in a preferred embodiment, the building structure is particularly adapted for use as a carport or as a garage wherein a conventional door may be mounted adjacent an open front portion thereof. The side walls covering the trapezium-shaped support frame members may be extended forward to provide a vertical, or near vertical, front wall while retaining the advantages of the trapezium shape. The roof is comprised of a one-piece section which is bent at the ridge eliminating the need for a ridge cap.
