Fabral manufactures a full line of light gauge cold-formed
steel sections for use in secondary framing applications.
Steel sections provide economic secondary structural
framing for pre-engineered metal buildings, carports,
canopies, walkway covers, parking covers and eyebrow
canopies. They are also used as the primary structural
framing of single story mini-storage structures.
The sections are available in 16 Gauge (.060")*, 14
Gauge (.077")* and 12 Gauge (.099")* thicknesses.
Zee, Cee and Channel standard sizes are 4" to 12"
depths (even 2" increments). Angle standard sizes
are 2"x 2", 2"x 4" and 3"x 3". Eave Strut standard sizes
are 8"x 5"x 2 1/2" and 8"x 5"x 5". These sections are
available with either a red-oxide prime or hot-dipped
galvanized protective coating. Red-oxide members are
manufactured from ASTM A570 Grade 55 steel (55 KSI
minimum yield strength). Galvanized members are
manufactured from ASTM A653 G-90 Galvanized
Grade 55 steel (55 KSI minimum yield strength).
Fabral’s manufacturing capabilities produce Zee purlins
to symmetrical or asymmetrical designs. Eave Struts
can be produced for high and low eaves and are available
in single and double slope configuration. Standard
purlin punching patterns include A, B, C, G and H
web punching which allows for simple span, short lap
and long lap conditions. Custom punch patterns and
custom shapes are available; please consult your Fabral
representative for details.
Light gauge cold-formed structural steel sections are
produced in Grapevine, TX and Salem, OR.
