Introduction

The purpose of the Corle Building Systems Architectural Manual is to provide an overview of how to design

and specify a Corle Building. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service and are here

to help with any questions you may have.

This manual serves as a general guideline to design a custom-engineered metal building by Corle, but

in no way defines the limitations of what you can create.

Also contained in this manual:

- Detailed instructions on how to specify and order a Corle Building

- General Specifications to assist with specifying a Corle Building

- General Corle Building details for most conditions

Please feel free to contact your Corle Building Systems District Manager when designing and specifying

your next metal building.

Customer Service Policies & Procedures

Corle Building Systems recognizes the “Common Industry Practices” as compiled by the Metal Building

Manufacturer’s Association (MBMA), as its standard, specific guidelines of the design, manufacture, sale

and erection of its components and building systems.

These guidelines can be found in your 2008 Metal Building Systems Manual and are intended to serve as

a specific checklist of policies and procedures to be implemented by parties involved in preparing order or

contract documents governing the sale and direction of the products of Corle Building Systems.

Wherever there is a conflict between the order or contact document and these practices, however, the

contract will prevail.

Basic Building Layout

Corle-Specific Information Page 1

Page 3 of this section shows a drawing of the basic Corle Building layout. It shows a number of ways to

configure a Corle Building and some visual depictions of the following basic definitions:

Wall Names

Sidewall - The building sidewall is the Eave Wall

Endwall - The building endwall is the Gable Wall

Steel Line - The lines that define the overall dimensions of a Corle Building

Frame Construction for Endwalls - this is explained in detail later in this manual.

Bay Spacing Conventions - Shows how bays are referenced for all walls and the building overall.

Building Order Form

Order using Corle’s web-based QuickQuoteTM. program. Contact a Corle Building Systems District

Sales Manager for complete details.

Building Information

Width - the width is the distance from the outside to outside of sidewall secondary framing.

Length - the building length is the distance from outside to outside of endwall secondary

framing (girt).

Eave Height - the distance from the finished floor to the top of the eave strut.

The eave strut is the secondary framing member at the intersection of the wall and

the eave of the roof.

Corle-Specific Information Page 3

Bay Spacing - The bay spacing is defined for two locations:

The first or last bay (end bays): The bay spacing is the distance from the outside of the wall secondary

on the perpendicular wall to the centerline of the first frame. See the basic building layout for bay

spacing.

An interior bay: The bay spacing is from frame centerline to frame centerline. See the basic building

layout for bay spacing.

The “Building Bay Spacing” is always determined by the bay spacing for the front sidewall.

Interior Frame Type - The interior frames are the “main frames” of the building. They define the overall

shape of the building -- Double Slope, Single Slope, Lean-To, etc.

RF - Rigid Frame Building - This is a double slope building.

SS - Single Slope Building - The back-side wall is the low eave.

LT - Lean-To - A lean-to attaches to another building and has a frame “missing” a column.

TB - Tapered Beam - This is a double slope building, similar to an RF, except that the roof

beam has a horizontal bottom chord.

TM

Corle-Specific Information Page 4

RF- - This is a double slope building with interior columns on the frame. This allows for a much wider

building when interior columns can be used to make a more economical frame. The blank is filled with the

number of interior columns (total columns, minus two).

This is an RF-1 Frame

SS- - This is a single building with interior columns on the frame. This allows for a much wider

building when interior columns can be used to make a more economical frame. The blank is filled with the

number of interior columns (total columns, minus two).

This is an SS-1 Frame

Exterior Column Shape - The sidewall columns can be tapered or straight. Taped Columns are more

economical. Straight columns can have their depth specified, however, the shallower they are, the heavier

and more costly they will be -- i.e. a 24” deep column on a large building will likely be more cost effective

than a 12” deep column.

Bracing

Standard Bracing - Standard bracing uses wall panel shear, if that is adequate. If not, cable

bracing is used. Cable bracing may limit the openings available in that particular bay.

Wind Column - A wind column is a “flag pole”-like means of bracing a building.

Open walls indicate no panels are provided by Corle for those areas. The wall can be open for other

materials, such as masonry, glass, tilt-up panels, etc. The wall also may be “open to remain open” for

structures such as canopies of storage building with 3 walls covered with wall panels.

Bay Start and Bay End is the same as for Roof Extensions. Custom conditions can start or stop at

any location and must be entered on modifications.

Deduct indication to remove panel only (girts will be provided to support other material or to remove

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

The following are additional conditions precedent to the application of this limited warranty:

1. Each batch of TRINAR® must be checked by the coil coater prior to use to assure conformance to its own fabrication

requirements;

2. It is CORLE’s responsibility of familiarize the coil coaters, which apply TRINAR® to metal on its behalf, with the terms and conditions of this limited warranty, and to require that each coil coater send to CORLE two (2) representative samples (each 12” x 12”) of metal coated with each batch of TRINAR® (as identified by batch number) promptly following it’s coating. These samples must identify the number of the coil, the date of coating, the TRINAR® batch number applied, and the name of that party who will fabricate the coil into metal building components. CORLE must also maintain records for 32 years that will identify the master coil number for each building erected in the field, which shall be available to CORLE on request; and

3. The Customer shall advise CORLE in writing of any claimed violation of this limited warranty within 30 days of receiving notice

thereof, and CORLE must promptly be afforded an opportunity to inspect the installation.

REMEDY

In the event of a claim under this limited warranty, the Customer must demonstrate to CORLE’s satisfaction that the failure was due to a breach of this limited warranty. The Customer has the responsibility to supply a video and/or photograph of the claimed defective TRINAR® for CORLE’S inspection. CORLE will determine, with reasonable promptness, whether to honor such a warranty claim, and may, at its discretion, choose to remediate said claim on that basis, or to inspect the structure on which the claim is made. In the event that CORLE honors the claim CORLE will bear the full cost of labor and material to replace or refinish the defective port ion of the field installation. The decision whether to replace or refinish to remedy an honored claim will be made at the sole discretion of CORLE. Any refinishing of the defective portion shall be done in accordance with standard industry practice to provide a uniform appearance with the remainder of the installation.

If CORLE honors such warranty claim, CORLE typically will arrange for replacement or refinishing at its own expense. Any replacement or refinishing arranged by CORLE, or arranged by Customer at CORLE’s approval set forth below, shall be covered b y and subject to the terms and conditions of this warranty. The replaced or refinished portion shall be deemed to have been coated and the date of the original coating and the duration of this warranty shall not be extended beyond that of the original factory-applied finish. Should the Customer prefer to make its own arrangements, Customer must provide CORLE with at least two competitive bids for refinishing or replacement, as elected by CORLE. CORLE reserves the right to reject those bids and to arrange for repair or refinishing at its own expense. Should CORLE authorize the Customer to proceed under one of the bids, CORLE will pay the Customer its share of the approved bid price.

The Customer may elect to obtain a cash settlement from CORLE in lieu of the remedies set forth above. Should the Customer elect to receive a cash settlement, any replacement or refinishing of the defective portion of the field installation arrange by the Customer will not be covered by this warranty. CORLE will pay the Customer the settlement amount agreed between CORLE upon receipt from the Customer of a full and final written release of CORLE from any further liability for the defective portion of the field installation.
