Topping off the Behlen commercial bin is one of the
strongest roof systems available. The Behlen roof is
designed to stand up to high winds, snow loads,
temperature cables, and heavy loads from overhead
equipment. Pitched at 30 degrees for optimum filling,
and provided with a large deck at the peak, the Behlen
roof is designed to stand up to demanding requirements
of commercial storage facilities.
Roof Panel Attachment
Sturdy Structural Roof
Roof panels attach to the roof structure with special brackets
to connect to the top of the roof rib minimizing penetrations through the valley and creating a more weathertight roof. Continuous angle at the eave attaches the roof panels to the
wall. This system works to prevent roof panels from tearing
loose in high wind conditions.
Large diameter roof deck
The nearly 11' diameter roof deck provides ample space for mounting overhead equipment. Behlen engineers can work
with customers to fit nearly any requirement.
Deep rafters that run from eave to peak provide a strong
backbone for supporting roof loads. Compression beams
and zee spreaders work with the rafters to develop maximum
strength in Behlen commercial bins.
Roof Sheets
Corrugated 3-1/2" high ribs with four stair steps on both sides provide outstanding strength. Panels are roll formed for a precision fit. This process assures adjacent roof ribs match perfectly for ultimate strength and weather seal. Flat areas are rigidized for extra strength and to elimate the oil canning effect.
