Farm building with mezzanine

An agricultural building for Mr Edward Earnshaw at Lower Slaughter, near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, has a mezzanine floor able to support weights of 40 to 50 tonnes.

 

The mezzanine is 90 feet long and 55 feet wide, and occupies the whole building, which although for agricultural uses is manufactured to the B.S. 5950 industrial specification.

 

The height from ground to eaves is 20 feet, and the 60mm-insulated side cladding is vertical 0.5mm olive-green plastic-coated box profile from Kingspan, KS1000RW XL forte leathergrain.

 

Roof cladding is also Kingspan insulated plastic-coated box profile, with 10% GRP Trilite 2.4 standard UV protection. The shotblast steelwork has a hot-dipped finish to BNEN 1461.

 

This rather unusual building has three doorways, and an external staircase. The purlins are Ultrazeds and the eaves beam is cold-rolled Ultrazed.
