July 4, 2005 — Classic Recreation Systems, Inc. has introduced a line of steel shelters with functional yet attractive roofs that are custom-curved using the companys Curveline process. Designed to offer an aesthetic, cost-effective alternative to site-built structures, the Colorado curved-roof shelters come in 10 standard sizes ranging from 8-ft. to 50-ft. in width and in any length, the company says. Custom sizes are also offered. Curveline can curve the roofing panels to virtually any desired radii to meet design requirements.
The frames and roofing are prefabricated for fast and easy final assembly at the project site using hidden bolt connections. Applications include building entrances or stand-alone structures in parks, rest stops, golf courses, transit stations, school yards, dining pavilions and concession stands, or anywhere else that shade and shelter is needed, notes the company.
Curvelines patented crimp-curving method creates dimples on the panels that reflect sunlight and add visual interest to the roof. In addition, crimp-curving greatly increases the load factor of the roof panels, making it possible to achieve wide spans with minimal framing creating open, airy shelters that are strong and durable without massive structural supports. Curved panels are fastened directly to HSS tube steel framing with no need for a sub-roof.
