Design basis: Standard design suits wind zones up to Very High and snow loads up to 1.5 kPa (NASH Standard Part 2, 2019). Tell us your site’s wind and snow zones when you order and we’ll confirm the design suits your site, or adjust it. An engineer’s PS1 is not included; it is available at additional cost, or you can use your own engineer. Foundations and consent are by others.

This is a frame-only kitset: every wall frame and rafter is manufactured to the dimensions in the plans and supplied as a flat bundle pack or pre-assembled. The garage door, doors, windows, cladding, roofing, floor frames and foundations are not included.

Specifications

Site Suitability & Design Notes

Where full building consent plans have not been supplied, the client is to confirm all design parameters, so confirm your site’s wind, snow and ground conditions with our team before ordering. Bracing is designed for IBS RigidRAP-XT sheet bracing to the walls and strap bracing to the roof; the bracing products themselves are supplied by others, and alternative bracing products require specific engineering design at additional cost.

This kitset supplies the steel structure of a garage only. Whether your project needs building consent depends on your site and council, so check with your local council before you build. All opening sizes on the plans are frame opening sizes, SFML supplies frame-to-frame connections only unless other arrangements are made, and there is no allowance for architectural design or detailing.
