Questions & Answers
7. Are light weight halls and storage marquees safe in snow and storms?
Aluflex lightweight halls and storage marquees have a snow load specification of 25 to 125 kg/m² and withstand the required wind loads to wind force 9 as specified in DIN 4112 or DIN EN 13782. On request we also offer the halls to wind force 12 in accordance with the requirements specified in the new DIN 1055.
8. Which type of subsoil is required?
Aluflex can be erected on existing paved surfaces, asphalt surfaces or compacted ballast. Light weight halls and storage marquees are anchored with pegs, 1 m in length, in the subsoil. If the subsoil is uneven, we offer solutions in this regard, such as height-adjustable telescopic uprights or underpinnings. If you already have a concrete surface then Aluflex can be directly anchored on the concrete surface.
9. Do I need a building permit for the storage marquee?
In most cases the Aluflex light weight hall and storage marquee can be erected without extensive formalities. Your responsible building authorities will provide detailed information as to whether a building permit is required in your specific case. We would be pleased to provide TÜV-certified statics report or structural specifications for all standard light weight halls and storage marquees. Many hall sizes can be offered that satisfy the requirements of the current DIN 1055 (stationary structures).
