Reason number 2: Exterior look and design options are limitless.
Unlike other systems, the Reaves Building System does not rely on exterior or interior cladding to provide the bracing. This allows the use of any outside veneer desired, giving you the look you want.
If you're going to put up a building, make it Reaves and make it last. The Reaves building is our toughest contender for commercial and industrial applications, designed to withstand design loads up to
40 pounds per square foot
of snow load and winds
up to 85 mph.
Strength
Incorporates patented "V" braces as integral part of truss
to transmit loads from roof to foundations
Uses concrete footings or piers for foundations
Includes custom designing of purlin spacing for each building
Transmitting of loads to exterior walls via top chord and web
lateral bracings running perpendicular to trusses in conjunction
with triangular bracing
Incorporates patented sidewalls and roof bracings into girts,
and purlins for rigidity without metal skin
Overcoming of upward and downward loads with specially
designed column anchors
Versatility
Designed for easy adaptability to virtually any use
Sustains sudden changes of wind and interior air pressure
Quality
Fabricating of all components in our factory for top quality control
means less reliance on field framing
Built to meet or exceed loads as specified in American National
Standards Institute, 1982 edition
Tested and certified to pass U.L. standard 580 requirements for
a Class 90 assembly. This construction prevents wind uplift and
allows for lower insurance rates.
All buildings employ MSR (Machine Stress Rated) lumber where
required, taking the guesswork out of lumber grading, and allowing
engineers to work with a known minimum value.
