Our laminated rafters are stronger than ordinary nailed rafters because of our unique
finger joint system The wood is joined one piece to another, along with our unique
finger joint and glue system This equalizes strain and gives uniform load distribution
and strength over total length of rafter Laminated rafters when erected in position,
distribute roof load directly to foundation The arch is aesthetically pleasing for many
types of construction and provides more efficient utilization of space

Rigidply laminated arch design, we believe, is the best for more air flow which contri
butes to the life of the barn or structure The key to this is our continuous ridge ventila
tion system, which allows air flow throughout the barn Air enters at the heel area and
continues a natural flow of air to the top of the roof The ridge vent which is located at
the top oHhe roof is designed to be most effective with minimum air obstruction creat
ing a chimney effect of drawing bad air out and fresh clean air in The roof vent opening
is designed* protect the opening from normal elements such as ram and snow The
result is a better building for your needs and a healthier environment for your valued
livestock and yourself Another outstanding feature or advantage with having your
building constructed of Rigidply Laminated Gothic Ratters is that there is very little
place for bird roasting and nesting This is very important in helping to keep a clean and
desirable place to work on a day to day basis, which means satisfaction
