This single-span steel greenhouse structure located in Richmond, NSW, with an overall footprint of approximately 8 m × 21 m. The structure is formed using a galvanised steel framing system, incorporating RHS columns, RHS rafters/hoops, and SHS bracing elements designed to achieve structural stability under operational and environmental loading conditions.
The super series structure includes a ridge and V‑gutter roof configuration to facilitate efficient stormwater management, with continuous guttering and rail systems extending across spans to ensure hydraulic performance and structural continuity. Alloy and steel rail components, including DUR2 aluminium rail systems, are integrated for cladding support, while collar ties, knee bracing, and cross bracing provide rigidity and load distribution throughout the frame.
Foundations consist of base plates mechanically fixed to concrete footings via chemset anchors with specified embedment depths and edge clearances, ensuring effective load transfer.
