Unique Needs and Spaces Unit One: Shade Applications in the Zoo Environment Custom Applications Unique Needs and Spaces Oklahoma State University Shade and a style of shade for every situation. Tulsa Zoo

UNIT TWO Choosing Styles and Shapes of Various Pre-Engineered Structures

The Sun’s Path Determines Where a Shade’s Shadow Will Become Effective Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes The Sun’s Path Determines Where a Shade’s Shadow Will Become Effective Summer High Winter Low

Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes The Sun and Direction will Determine Your Shade Strategy Shade, Sun and South all start with an “S”, understand how the path of the sun moves across the southern hemisphere in the winter and the summer Understand how the path of the sun moves in the winter and summer Consider both location and orientation for maximizing shade coverage for users

The Two Basic Styles of Shade Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes The Two Basic Styles of Shade Framed Units vs. Sails Framed Units Sail Units

Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes Common Styles Square/Rectangle Sail Octagon/Hexagon Cantilever Umbrella Hyperbolic

What is Included with Framed Units? Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes What is Included with Framed Units? Columns Elbows Rafters Y Connections Ridge Beam Fabric Tensioning Cable Base Plates/Embedment

Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes Glide Elbow

What is Included with Sail Units? Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes What is Included with Sail Units? Must know for a customer: ** Fabric does breakdown over time in the weather, must be cleaned and has to be removed in hazardous conditions or the frame can be damaged while fabric will be lost. Ask who will be responsible for this and “train” them on how to do is a win. Columns* Tabs Connection Hardware and Tensioning Cable Fabric Base Plates/Embedment

Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes Sail Connections

What To Look For in a Shade Unit Two: Choosing Styles and Shapes What To Look For in a Shade Fabrics with up to 99% UV protection. Fabrics with 80% water repellency. Galvanized tension cable with hardware. Glide Elbow tensioning system that makes it easy to remove and reinstall canopies. Superdurable powder coat steel frames in a wide range of colors. Pre-engineered to meet current and local building codes. Frame (Support) vs. Fabric (Shade)

UNIT THREE Meeting Engineering Requirements Take freight out and replace with footer detail, show one of our layout views of “this is how something goes in the ground”

Footers and Load Bearing Characteristics Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Building a Structure Footers and Load Bearing Characteristics Product built to minimum standards IBC 2012 Local building code may supersede with a higher requirement for footer sizing due to exposure rating What is shown on plans must be inspected, approved, and built Nice to have stages. 1) Dig hole and put rebar 2) poured in concrete with jbolts sticking out or column in ground 3) surface mount column

Building For Wind Speed Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Building For Wind Speed Florida, Texas, and California have the highest requirements. Try to find all three maps. Engineering documents must comply and certify to this requirement by region Impacts the size of steel and footer sizing in ground

Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Building for Success Know how many sets of engineering documents are needed, who is scheduling the footer inspections, approval, and close out permit

Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Construction Process Needed site access and preparation should be completed Need room for staging of product and heavy equipment Need to know dimensions of coverage, available footprint, and elevation concerns Ensure ground is level, compacted properly, and you have verification of all underground utilities prior to digging

Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Staging of Product and Equipment Consolidate slide 31 and 32

Start to Finish Can Take Up To 12 Weeks Unit Three: Meeting Engineering Requirements Start to Finish Can Take Up To 12 Weeks After Concept Approval and PO is Submitted 2-3 days for order confirmation and color approvals 1 week to set up drawings 3 weeks for engineer to complete Signed and Sealed Engineer Drawings 1 week to send drawings to General Contractor to submit application for permit 1-3 weeks for Building Department approval 4-5 weeks for fabrication cycle 1 week to install, inspect footers, and put on fabric (perhaps longer if installing multiple structures)
