THE CHARLESTON
THE CHARLESTON is one of the most popular band pavilions of the EnWood Design Collection. The soft and graceful roof design utilizes curved glulam beams and glulam purlins and EnWood Structures’ classic tongue and groove wood deck roof system.
The Charleston is spacious and has immense versatility. Well-suited for parks, community centers, private developments, and public attractions, the Charleston is ideal for any event. 8 standard sizes are available. Custom sizes are also available.
Specification Sheet (PDF) | Photo GallerySHELTER SIZE
The size of the Charleston shelter is expressed by the width and the depth of the roof area. For example, the roof of a 44’ x 25’ Charleston shelter is 44’ wide and 25’ deep, excluding the thickness of the 2” nominal size fascia boards. The number of columns, and the column placement is dependent on the size of the shelter, and height and slope of the roofing system.
The height of the front of the Charleston is dependent upon the size, specifically the depth of the shelter. For the models that are 25’ deep, the front height is 13’ 3’’, models that are 32’ deep, the front height is 15’, and models 39’ deep, the front height is 16’9”. The standard back height for all is 8’. Custom sizes are also available.
THE CHARLESTON PACKAGE COMPONENTS
COLUMNS, EITHER STEEL OR LAMINATED WOOD
Steel HSS columns are ASTM A513 with dimensions engineered to sustain required load.
If specified by EnWood's engineers, laminated wood columns will be designed to sustain required load. The lumber is treated prior to gluing which affords full penetration of the core if each column.
EXTERIOR CURVED BEAMS
Pressure treated curved laminated wood beams that rest on the columns. Steel plates and bolts that connect the beams to the columns.
INTERIOR CURVED BEAMS
Laminated interior curved beams. Steel connections and bolts that connect the beams.
ROOF DECK
2x6 or 2x8 (nominal sizes) #1 grade, Southern Yellow Pine wood decking, tongue and groove and end-matched, is nailed to the top of the beams. Galvanized nails to attach the deck to the beams.
FASCIA
Pressure treated, two inch, #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine, fascia board to be attached at the eaves. Galvanized nails to attach the fascia to the beam ends and the deck.
FELT & SHINGLES
One layer of #30 roofing felt to be applied on top of the wood deck. 25 yr. 3-Tab fiberglass shingles, standard color Autumn Brown, other color options available upon request.
ROOF PITCH
The standard front to back roof pitch for the Charleston is a 3/12 pitch.
DESIGN LOADS
- 12 pounds per square foot dead load
- 30 pounds per square foot live load
- 20 pounds per square foot wind load. (Equates to 100 MPH)
The typical design load allows for:
There are variables that affect the design sizes of the members, specifically the columns and the curved beams, and those variables generally include live load conditions that are usually location specific. Building Codes normally dictate the applicable loads to be applied in the member size designs.
PRESSURE PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT
As noted in the component list above, the wood columns are fabricated with lumber pressure treated (prior to gluing) with CCA, at .6 pcf (6 tenths of a pound of preservative per cubic foot of wood) retention for “ground contact”. Fascia boards are treated with MCA or CCA,all the treatment per AITC 109. The treated glulam can be stained and painted.
