WorkSpan - Commercial & Rural Buildings
1. Strongest Possible Connections
Totalspan portal frame connector
plates are pressed from thick
galvanised steel. They are fixed
through pre-punched holes using high
tensile bolts ensuring the strongest possible
connection. Totalspan knee and apex
brackets wrap around the ‘C’ section, giving
extra strength along the full portal frame.
2. More Usable Internal Space
Totalspan purlins and girts (parts of the
frame where the walls and roof are
attached) fix into the sides of
the portal frame. This allows
the frame to sit flush with the
cladding, for greater strength,
more usable internal space and
better visual appeal. It also minimises bird
and rodent nesting.
3. Slotted Hold Down Brackets
Totalspan hold-down brackets feature slots
to make fixing to the concrete slab and
portal leg easier.
The above illustrations are indicative only of connections
and framing which are dependant on type of shed and other
external factors.
4. Wider Cladding For Quicker Construction
Totalspan roof and wall cladding is roll-formed from quality Australian BlueScope steel. Our sheeting is wider than the industry standard, resulting in fewer joints and faster erection times. Your cladding, gutters, barges and flashings can be ZINCALUME® or a wide selection of COLORBOND® colours.
5. Wider Roller Doors & A Range Of Shed Span Sizes
Our roller doors are 2.7m wide (industry standard is 2.4m). Shed spans from 7.1m to 12m in a variety of heights and lengths.
6. A Pitch For A Stronger Roof
Our standard 15-degree roof pitch is not only stronger, it looks great and gives you extra usable roof space. A Totalspan shed with a 7m span gives you over one quarter of a meter more height than a comparable shed with an 11-degree pitch.
7. Weather Tight & No Sharp Edges
All door openings and corners are protected with roll-formed flashings for a neat, weather tight finish. Double folding ensures safe handling, with no sharp edges exposed.
8. The Perfect Finish
Gutters and barges are roll-formed in a unique profile that adds strength and provides an attractive finish to your roof. Gutter brackets fit neatly inside the gutters, totally hidden from view.
