German Hanger Roofing

Structural concept, technical drawings (representation), materials and installation notes

Structural Concept

Exterior concept of semi-arched hanger roof over bays

Long-Span Semi-Arched Roof

Hot-galvanized steel trusses form semi-arched bays. Purlins support waterproof roof panels with anti-condensation layer. Wind bracing at end bays and ridge maintains stiffness and stability.

Wind-resistant Stable load paths Fast install

German hanger roof truss representation and purlin spacing

Truss & Purlins

Curved arch chords with web members and bolted node plates. Purlin spacing 1.2–1.5m (typical). Primary chords 3.0–4.0mm CFS/BTS; secondary members 2.0–2.5mm.

Assembly is bolted on site over preset pedestals.

Materials & Installation

Material Specifications

Truss chords: 3.0–4.0mm galvanized steel; webs: 2.0–2.5mm
Roof panels: waterproof galvanized sheets + anti-condensation layer
Purlins: galvanized, spaced at 1.2–1.5m
Fasteners: bolted node plates; bracing at end bays

Foundations & Installation

Foundations: stone-filled pits or simple pedestals with anchor plates (BC soil compatible)
Install: truss kits shipped flat, bolted on site; align purlins and roof panels
Welding: MIG fillet welds (6–8mm) where specified; galvanized post-weld coating
Transport: nested arch segments and purlins in 40HQ

Advantages

Wind Resistance

Braced semi-arched trusses deliver strong wind performance.

Fast Installation

Flat-packed kits bolt on prepared pedestals rapidly.

Low Cost

Optimized fabrication and simple foundations reduce cost.

Scalable

Add bays and adjust purlin layout as needs grow.

Durable

Galvanized steel members with protected roof assemblies.

Versatile

Works for sheds, storage, farm, site facilities, and more.
