BIGBEE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

Whether your building requires clear span convenience or the maximum economy of interior columns, BIGBEE has the system to best answer your needs. Any width, length, or height of building can be constructed to meet the owner's exact requirements. In addition to local building code requirements BIGBEE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS can be furnished to meet requirements of special crane loads and other unusual load conditions. Building frames are typically spaced from 20' to 30' along the building length for maximum economy.

If you don't see a frame type that fits your need, shown below. Please contact our Sales Department by phone at 256-383-7322 or 800-633-3378 to discuss your requirements. We can custom build almost any frame shape for your project. An offset ridge, unequal eave heights, jack beams, hips and valleys we can do it all.

LOW PROFILE RIGID FRAME

BIGBEE Low Profile Rigid Frames produce a structure characterized by contemporary architectural design. The smooth, sleek beauty of the low pitched roof also reduces the volume of interior space to be heated and cooled.

The most common clear spans from 30' up to 120'. With wider spans available to meet the customer's needs.

HIGH PROFILE RIGID FRAME

BIGBEE High Profile Rigid Frames furnish the Owner with maximum building volume and are especially desirable for storage buildings requiring high interior clearances.

Varied architectural effects can also be obtained with the steep roof pitch and standing seam roof panels commonly used today.

The most common clear spans from 30' up to 120'. With wider spans available to meet the customer's needs.

LOW PROFILE WEDGE BEAM

BIGBEE Low Profile Wedge Beams are extremely popular in buildings where straight sidewall columns are desired. This design is most practical in buildings up to 40' in width.

MEDIUM PROFILE WEDGE BEAM

BIGBEE Medium Profile Wedge Beams are best suited for wider buildings where a straight sidewall column is desired.

GABLED FRAME WITH INTERIOR COLUMN

For spans larger than 60' economy can usually be realized through the use of an interior column. This frame is generally best suited to low profile frames, but can be built to any desired roof pitch.

The most common widths from 60' to 200'. With wider widths available to meet the customer's needs.

GABLED FRAME WITH TWO OR MORE INTERIOR COLUMNS

For extremely wide buildings, this design is most economical where interior columns are not objectionable. This frame is generally best suited to low profile frames, but can be built to any desired roof pitch.

The most common widths from 120' and up.

SINGLE SLOPE FRAMES

Most of the above frame types are also available as single slope frames. Single slope frames can be used to expand and existing structure or as a new stand alone building.

LEAN-TO FRAMES

Lean-to frames are most commonly used for building additions or to provide office and storage space to a larger building.

TYPICAL BUILT-UP ENDWALL FRAMES

BIGBEE typical uses built-up or hot rolled endwall design of our buildings. However, a interior frame should be installed at either end of a building when future expansion is anticipated.
