Site Visit #2 - Bunnings Warehouse










I took a trip to Bunnings waerhouse, a structure where portal frames were likely to be seen rather than covered up and is large enough to require them.

There is a picture of the junction between the peak of the roof, where the purlin supports the rafters where the rafters meet at the outer shed.

A picture of the middle of the shed where the rafters meet the purlin, with the hanging beam used to support the load of the roof
