AFAB
Components
An
AFAB building is constructed like no other. It is quality of craftsmanship
and materials that separates us from our competitors. Compare us to
the competition and you'll soon realize what you get with AFAB.
Judge for yourself:
Ultra
Post
Our UltraPost is a glued and nailed laminated column. It is designed
for less flex and more strength. The in-ground portion of the post is
pressure treated lumber, ensuring a lifetime of use.
Rafter
Fastening System
Our rafter fastening system is superior in the industry, giving you
the strongest wall to roof connection for long term durability.
Cladding
For lasting beauty and a lifetime of virtually no maintenance AFAB uses
29 ga. hi-tensile cladding. All metal cladding is fastened with industrial
strength screws, not nails, and overlaps are tightened with a stitch
screw to improve building strength and appearance. Our unique custom
flashing system covers all exposed lumber.
Strapping
Joints
Strapping joints are staggered for superior strength. The roof is constructed
of 2” x 6” strapping on 24” centers, and walls are
30” on centers. This strapping joint system provides the most
rigid frame available.
