We have put together probably one of the most comprehensive pole building
glossaries found on the internet today. And if you are like most people,
if you can't see it, you still don't understand it very well.
If there is any pole building term you still don't understand, or one not yet listed here, please use the Contact Us page to email us. We will be glad to send drawings or pictures for illustration.
Click on the 
and a pop-up box will appear to give you a picture or drawing to show
you what the glossary term means.

| Knee Braces: | Inclined diagonal lumber braces connecting to and extending from the sidewall columns, usually several feet below the truss to column connection, across and attached to the face of the roof trusses. They are intended to supplement the lateral resistance of post frames when loaded by lateral wind forces. Studies have revealed their ineffectiveness when including diaphragm action. They also may induce overstressing of the roof trusses. |
