1. Q - "Do I need a
Permit?"- calculations? - STAMP?
A - No Building Permit is needed for our Factory Made Structures up to 120
ft². Agriculture Land, Municipalities, Federal,
State, City & County uses aren’t required to have a Building Permit.
If your City or County allows portable "Shipping Containers",
"Canopies" and "Tent Type" Structures over 120 ft² - so should they allow our
larger than 120 ft² Models without a Permit. If not, our "in house" Roof, Wind,
Seismic & Tie Down Calculations are free and Stamped. "Registered
Civil Engineer" Verifications are now available for an additional $100 to
$150 fee.

3. Q - WHAT IS A "QUICK UP" KIT?
4. Q - "What's a Floorless Model?"
6. Q - WHAT ARE CLEARANCE
REQUIREMENTS for ASSEMBLY?
A - We can put up Walls with as
little as 3 feet Clearance. It is possible to have less Clearance, but Assembly
is more difficult and Assembly time is increased.
7. Q - "HOW MUCH DOES A BUILDING (or
Kit) WEIGH?"
A - Factory "Floored" Buildings
weigh about 10#/Ft². "Floorless" & "Roof Port" Models weigh about 7#/Ft².

8. Q - WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO PICK UP
MY KIT?
A - Customer is responsible to arrive with a
proper Tow Vehicle and Trailer. Bring along a "Helper", gloves and plenty of
rope for tying down the Kit and Components. We’ll Forklift Kit onto Vehicle or
Trailer. Note: All Kits will be under 8’ in Width and your longest
Sheeting will be 2’ longer than the structure’s length, so plan accordingly.

9. Q - "What
Roof, WIND & SEISMIC Strength do I need?"
A - All Structures are designed so an
Adult (or a Fireman) can walk on the Roof safely, if necessary; all can
withstand 70+ M.P.H. winds and hold up under the same Seismic Loads that UBC
requires for homes.
Our Standard Buildings & Roof Ports have various Snow Load
Capacities depending on Structure’s width. You or we can add extra Trusses for
Mountain Use. Ask! for further details.
10. Q
- "VOLUME versus VALUE versus PRICES?"
A - Compare our Volume per $ of cost to any Wood or Plastic
Structure. Add a Long Life-span & many years of Zero Maintenance… &
our products win a "value" contest every time!
11. Q - "What do I need for Support? - Hold Downs?"
A - Most of our larger Structures can be put down on any fairly level soil
using 2" to 4" of Gravel Support Pads under the main beams or simply sit them on
a few Redwood or Concrete Blocks. The main thing is to assure that Main Beams or
Perimeter Frame does not sit in permanent "standing water".
12.Q -
"How hard are BUILDINGS to Assemble?"
A - Considering our new "QUICK UP" KIT with many pre-drilled holes and the
fact that all the Welding and Painting is done … a fairly "Mechanical"
person can Assemble a Floored Model in approximately 3/4 hour per foot of Length
after all the Components are located next to the Assembly Site. Floorless
Models take about 2/3rds this time. Screw Driving Bits are supplied, but you’ll
need your own ±2,000 RPM Power Drill.

13. Q -
"SIZES - BIGGER THAN 12' X 24'?"
A - We don’t offer "Standard" Buildings larger than 12' X 28' or Roof
Ports wider than 12'. Ask about Special Sizes, but know that they are very
costly!
