THE GUILDFORD

THE GUILDFORD and THE GUILDFORD II are our hybrid model. A cross between The Charleston and Raleigh model shelter. The design combines laminated wood curved beams, laminated wood columns, and tongue and groove wood roof decking for beauty, strength and versatility. The Guildford is available in numerous sizes with standard widths up to 60’.

THE GUILDFORD is designed with column spacing 8’ on center in the length direction, and 2’ overhangs. Tongue and groove solid wood decking is the key components of the roof system, the 2" T&G come in specified lengths.

THE GUILDFORD is designed with column spacing 10’ on center, overhangs of 2’6”, and utilizes a multi-span roof decking system. EnWood Structures’ unique Multi-Span Deck System allows increase spacing of structural laminated members without affecting the beauty and durability of the Guildford design. By spanning two supports, the Multi-Span Deck System increases load-carrying capacities. With greater span capacity, fewer support members are required, thus lowering costs and decreasing the time needed for installation.

The Guildford can easily be partially or fully enclosed for dual use as concession centers, restrooms, storage facilities, and administrative space. Competitively priced, these shelters are ideal for recreational and picnic areas, playgrounds, skateparks, and community and event gatherings.

Other popular options available include: steel columns, surface mounted columns, rails, benches, staining.

SHELTER SIZE

THE GUILDFORD

The size of the Guildford shelter is expressed by the width and the length of the roof area. For example, the roof of a 30’ x 44’ Guildford shelter is 30’ wide and 44’ long, excluding the thickness of the 2” nominal size fascia boards. The pressure treated laminated wood columns are spaced at 8’ intervals in the length direction of the shelter. The roof decking extends past the beams 2’ at each end of the shelter. In the width direction of the shelter, the roof extends past the center-line of the columns 2’. Custom sizes are also available.

The size of the Guildford is expressed by the dimensions of the width and the length of the roof area. For example, the roof of a 30’ x 45’ Guildford II is 30’ wide and 45’ long, excluding the thickness of the 2” nominal size fascia boards. The Guildford shelter’s beams and columns are spaced at 10’ intervals and the end overhangs are 2’ 6”. Custom sizes are also available.

THE GUILDFORD PACKAGE COMPONENTS

Columns:

Pressure treated, prior to gluing, laminated wood columns, 11’ 9” long – to be embedded 3’ 9” in the concrete for stability. The lumber is treated prior to gluing which affords full penetration to the core of the columns. Special 4” annular nails to be “partially nailed” into the portion of the columns embedded in the concrete footings to provide improved anchorage against wind uplift.

Curved Beams:

Curved-tapered laminated wood beams that rest on the columns. Steel plates and bolts that connect the beams to the columns.

Roof Deck:

2x6 or 2x8” (nominal sizes) #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine wood decking, tongue and groove either specified lengths or random lengths, is nailed to the top of the beams. Galvanized nails to attach the deck to the beams.

Fascia:

2x6” pressure treated, #1 grade Southern Yellow Pine, fascia board to be attached at the eaves and gables. 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. Metal roofs available and priced upon request.

ROOF PITCH

The standard radial curved with < 1:12 end slopes for the Guildford and Guildford II .

DESIGN LOADS

The typical design load allows for:

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)

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 arches are fabricated with lumber pressure treated (prior to gluing) with Penta-WR type “C”, at .3 pcf [3 tenths of a pound of preservative per cubic foot of wood] retention for “ground contact”). Fascia boards are treated with pentachlorophenol, and the .3 pcf retention is used.

EnWood utilizes the pentachlorophenol treatment because of its premier qualities and the treatment does not discolor the wood and can be stained or painted.
