Capital District Salt’s building carries a design load of 55 pounds per square foot and will withstand 60 mile per hour winds. "The structure is designed with a one day snow-shed. The center purlin at the ridge is lower than the top edge of the truss. It serves as a divider bar. The weight of the snow presses downward across the purlin, creating a break in the snow. The snow simply slides off," says Jim Albinger, Cover-All’s Dealer Development Manager.
