If you want to span more than 2′, we recommend consulting with an engineer to determine if your building’s trusses can handle the load.

Notice:
1. Theoretical allowable loads are based on section properties and allowables calculated in accordance with 2001 AISI Specifications.
2. Theoretical allowable loads are based on three or more uniform spans.
3. For roof panels, deduct self weight for actual ‘live load’ capacity of the panel.
4. These loads are for panel strength. Frames, purlins, decks and fasteners must be designed to resist all loads imposed on the panel.

* Steel Substrate varies based on current coil stock on the floor.
