Two Roof-only Metal Buildings in Golden, Colorado
Metal Building Outlet supplied these (2) roof-only buildings and (2) cupolas in Golden, Colorado, in late March of 2015.
Both roof-only buildings are used as covers at Golden’s Mother Cabrini Shrine to provide shade and protection in inclement weather to guests of the venue’s many wedding receptions, bazaars, picnics and other special events. They stand 24’x30’x10 and feature Galvalume roofs with 4:12 roof pitches. Constructed using components from Nucor Building Systems, the metal covers also feature (2) striking 24”x24”x36” wind-rated cupolas.
In consideration of Golden and the Foothills’ abundant seasonal snowfall and occasional strong storm activity, a high wind speed of 130 mph and a heavy ground snow load of 59 lbs. were included at the time of construction.
Golden, Colorado, is well-known for being the home of the Coors Brewing Company, and is a part of Jefferson County, in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It lies about 38 miles outside Parker and 20 miles from Englewood.
