Start with the project details.
Shelters, outdoor structures and exposed metalwork can include both freely exposed and sheltered surfaces. These areas may weather differently. The project should define where water collects, where surfaces can dry and how the structure can be inspected throughout its service life.
Questions to resolve
- Open versus sheltered exposure conditions
- Water traps, overlapping joints and ventilation
- Connection materials and isolation details
- Applicable design standard, inspection and finish expectations
Material and component inquiries
Structural blanks and specified exterior steelwork materials.
Share the approved grade, drawings, dimensions and required documentation. Material selection, structural design and installation details must be coordinated by the responsible project team. Processing and supply scope are confirmed in the quotation.
