GOTHIC RAFTERS
Another quality product from Starwood Rafters

With a Starwood Rafter's Laminated Gothic Arch building, you get versatility, economy and quality. The Gothic Arch buildings' floor space is useful thanks to the arch's high, clear span design up to 80'. The arches have a shape that naturally resists wind and snow loads in order to provide you with more building area for your money.  Our Gothic Arches are manufactured with structurally graded wood and bonded together with a waterproof glue.

The Gothic Arch building design has many applications, such as livestock housing, storage, or residential.

The picture at the right shows the hardware used for connecting the Gothic Arch together at the base and the peak.  Click the image to see the full-size view.

Due the flexibility of this type of product, we can make almost any size of arch to fit your design needs.

Because of the two-piece construction, they must be set directly on a floor to withstand the outward thrust.

 

Features

  • Laminated Rafters are strong because of a uniform load distribution over the total length of the rafters.
  • The High Arch Design provides useful floor space and allows the free movement of air to naturally move up and out of the building.
  • The attractive shape of the arch naturally resists wind and snow loads.
