Triple Layer Protection. This triple layer of corrosion protection zinc bonding, conversion coating, and clear polymer coating provides a smooth, shiny end product appearance that is unmatched in strength and durability. Salt spray tests prove this triple coat sealing process resists rust two times longer than any pre-galvanized or electroplated tubing product. And let’s not forget the obvious termite and rot resistance advantages over wood. |
Smooth Mandrel Bend. VersaTube uses a mandrel bending system for a cleaner look and a stronger bend transition. Framing systems for most primary structures and complete packaged kits include frame components that feature mandrel bends. |

Roof Pitch. All standard VersaTube structures are manufactured to a 3:12 pitch. Other pitches available for custom and special order structures. |

Ground Snow & Wind Loads. The VersaTube framing system and structures are engineered and configured to address local area ground snow and wind load requirements. Ground snow PSF (pounds per square foot) and wind velocity & exposure level (MPH @ B or C exposure) help determine the appropriate size and configuration of a VersaTube building package. |
