Octagonal Shape Advantages in Hurricane & Tornado Prone Areas
1-Wind can’t build up enough pressure on any side to cause a structural failure. 2- Optimum roof pitch (30 degrees) for wind deflection and reduced lift. 3- Octagonal structure transfers environmental loads most efficiently. 4- Energy from wind is dispersed instead of building up in a single area. 5- 14 gauge galvanized steel used in trusses and walls is 4 times as strong as typical wood framing material. 6 . Optional Galvalume metal used on top of the OSB on exterior walls and roof strengthens the home and prevents flying debris from penetrating the structural envelope. 7- Reinforced windows with impact glass and storm shutters to prevent wind and water from hurricane situations. 8- Oversized trusses keep roof system anchored to walls. 9- Walls are firmly attached by to the floor system for structural stability and to transfer shear forces. 10- Continuous metal connection from roof trusses to walls helps maintain structural stability.
