Specification Sheet (PDF) | Photo GallerySHELTER SIZE
The size of the Wilmington shelter is expressed by the width and the length of the roof area. For example, a 30’ x 44’ Wilmington shelter is 30’ wide and 44’ long. The pressure treated laminated wood arches are spaced at 8’ intervals in the length direction of the shelter. In the example referred to, there would be six sets of arches spaced 8 feet on center. The roof decking would extend past the arches two feet at each end of the shelter. In the width direction, the roof would extend past the center-line of the arches 2’ 0.
