Timber Portal Frames

Timber Portal Frames

•There are a lot of different styles of timber portal frames.

•Some timber portal frames could be with a hinge for easy erection, as shown in the previous slide.

•Some are made with columns and rafters, with a fixed steel bracket connecting them, as shown in this slide.

My Proposal

•Double box timber portal frame, which could span the whole 40m, with a height of 9.8m (similar to the CSR store building in Cardiff, NSW.

•Pre-fabricated toilets and kitchen units units for office space.

•Timber walkway as upper level of warehouse (simple timber framing construction), for managers to observe operation in warehouse floor.

•Pre-fabricated, louvred windows.
