Structural support explained

Описание: To ensure your building can withstand vertical and lateral forces from extreme weather, you should always ensure there is sufficient structural support in your extension design.

Downward, vertical forces (e.g. snow) need to be managed to prevent doors from sticking and lateral forces from side winds need to be managed to prevent the building from racking.

When building any extension, it is essential that lateral stability is considered. If large door spans are specified in the elevation parallel to the host wall, adequate support is required.
