ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a metal building structure employing box beam upright columns and box beam rafters intermediate the columns, forming a double pitched roof. The columns are of uniform transverse rectangular cross section. The rafters are of transverse rectangular cross section, the height of the cross section increasing from the outer end to the peak of the roof. The lower sides of the rafters are perpendicular to the upright columns.
Purlins and girts fastened between the pairs of rafters and the pairs of columns are flush with the sides of the columns and rafters. The columns and rafters are bolted together and channeled passages adjacent the ends provide access to the bolts. An eave strut, connected between the outer ends of the rafters, protrudes outward sufficiently to cover ends of abutting side sheeting, avoiding the need for flashing. A sliding door mounting combines a bracket, carriage, and flashing in an integral piece. The sliding door is comprised of two rectangular frames joined by linking members that vary in size for doors of different height.
