What are the Standard Interior Clearance Heights?

08/29/2016 · EN009

Calculating the standard interior clearance height of a VersaTube structure is a simple process.  First, take the sidewall height measurement (from the ground to the eave on the exterior of the structure).  To allow for the peak section components 3:12 roof pitch, ADD the following to the sidewall height:

 

Carports:

  •         •  12’ wide ADD 1’3” (that’s 1’6” minus the 3” width of the peak / rafter steel tube).
  •         •  14’ wide ADD 1’6”
  •         •  18’ wide ADD 2’0” (not accounting for truss bracing)
  •         •  20’ wide ADD 2’3” (not accounting for truss bracing)

 

Garages:

  •         •  12’ wide ADD 1’3”


It is important to note that some 18’ and 20’ wide carports and ALL 20’, 24’, and 30’ wide VersaTube garages require truss bracing on the interior truss sections to meet loading requirements.  For this reason, the actual interior ground to truss brace clearance for these units would be approximately the same as the exterior ground to eave sidewall height.
