The total heights listed above, include the floor (in the enclosed section). If you don't want your building to include the floor, simply subtract the following dimensions:

Extra Height

Extra height may be added to your structure at the time of sale. If you add extra height to your building, simply increase the overall height of the building by the added amount.

Notes on Dimensions

• Our measurements (i.e. 10ft. x 20ft.) are taken from the outside of the floor plates and studs, therefore, they don’t include the siding (see figure 1)
• For true interior measurements, subtract the floor plates/studs (i.e. 2 x 3½” = 7”).  Note: 2 x 4 is actually 1 ½” x 3½” due to the properties of “finished lumber”.  In the case of the Surfside, these measurements apply to the enclosed part of the building.
• For true exterior dimensions, also add the siding and corner pieces.  The Canexel siding is ⅜” thick, the cedar siding is ¾” thick and the log siding is 1 ½” thick.  The corner trim is ¾” thick (see figure below).
• Please note that the Surfside dimensions must consist of at least half the building being enclosed.  The bar area can be reduced should you require it.

If you have any other questions pertaining to the size of the building, please do not hesitate to ask us, we’re here to help.

Materials

Every structure, regardless of style or size, is designed and manufactured to exacting standards. We use the finest materials available and provide options where possible. If there is a particular item you would like and it's not part of our offering, we are happy to try and source it for you. For information on the various materials we use, please see the Materials section under Information.

The Surfside model includes 6 x 6 cedar posts in the bar area as well as ½ cedar posts against the walls.  All exterior headers are also made of cedar and the bar includes a full wall separating the two spaces (bar area from enclosed space) that extends to the roof as well as another wall on your side of choice.  The bar top consists of 2 x 10 cedar and all framing consist of spruce unless otherwise directed.

Engineering And Technical Details

Our buildings are designed to withstand the rigors of life in North America. It is rare that our specs will not meet code.  Whether you live in the Northeast, the Southwest or anywhere in between, snow and wind calculations have all been considered in the design of your product (so you won’t have to worry about ever leaving Kansas).  Our engineering is solid.

For example, in climates like Alaska, Colorado and Maine where snow loads are important and the PSF reaches 70, our construction not only stands up to these codes but exceeds them.

In areas where wind is a factor like Florida, Louisiana and Rhode Island, the wind load PSF reaches 140.  Again, our construction is above standard.

Should you have any specific requirements for roof construction to satisfy specific and unique bylaws, please let us know and we’ll build your roof to comply.   A small surcharge may apply.
