ALUMAWOOD CARPORTS
| Glossary of Terms |
| Attached |
Awning attaches to house/structure either at the wall
or the eaves/fascia.
Note: To attach to eaves/fascia your eaves must meet the engineering
for your awning. |
| Freestanding |
Awning uses no structure to help support it and
relies solely on the posts. For this reason the posts must be
poured into a concrete footings, footing size will be determined by
the engineering but is generally 24" x 24" x 24". |
| Projection |
Distance out from house on an attached awning.
Freestanding units use this as the width.
Another way to look at it is the projection is the distance the pans
run out, the pans have to span this distance.
Projection is usually the most critical for determining engineering
capabilities. |
| Length |
Length along the house.
Freestanding units use this as the general length.
The length is made up from interlocking pans, the more pans you have
the longer the unit will be. The pans are either 6" for
alumawood or 12" for standard aluminum and it is almost
limitless how long the unit can be. |
| Eave (on your house) |
Overhang from roof |
| Fascia (on your house) |
Face of the Eave. |
| Rafter (on your house) |
Supporting member of roof. |
| Max Live Load |
Maximum amount of weight on top of structure |
| Max Wind Speed |
Maximum amount of wind a structure can sustain |
| Open Aluminum Structure |
