Step
1
Pour a simple floating concrete perimeter with a channel to receive
the arches. (If you will be using a flat foundation, base connectors
are recommended.)
Step
2
Assemble arches on the ground. The precision-made arch panels bolt
together quickly and easily with only one-size bolt and fastener.
Caulking and neoprene washers ensure a weather-tight seal.
Step
3
Slide arches into foundation channels and raise upright. If only
assembling and erecting half-arches, use basic supports or scaffolding
to hold them in place and speed-up erection process.
Step
4
Arches are raised and progressively joined together. Precision engineering
ensures a snug fit. Half-arches can be lapped and bolted together
to make a full arch.
Step
5
Seal the arches at their base with concrete for foundations with
channels or bolt them to the optional base connectors (for flat
foundations).
Step
6
Any number of accessories or components can now be added to finish
off your building: endwalls, insulation, man or garage doors, windows,
ventilators, and translucent fiberglass panels (skylights). See
the Miracle Span Accessories List for more information.
