Gable Gaitibles 

 Prevention 



You and I have read and heard a 

 lot of things about gables 



From some of the thingslit'sEevi- 

 dent there is a lot of gamble Jin 

 gables. 



And there is. 

 Ever- seen a hpuse weave? 

 Of course you haven't. 

 But they do. • , 

 That is to say, some do. 



Those that do generally . have 



gambling gables. 



The builder took a chance of their 



being strong enough. 



And the owner is fooled. 



Fooled into thinking that because 



the gable don't actually blow in, 



or belly in and out, that it is a good 



enough gable for him. 



Weak gables weaken' the entire 

 house. 



Their lack of rigidity gives a give 

 to the entire house -when a direct 

 wind thrust comes ftill force 

 against the direct gatde surface. 

 Every give is a strain against'the 

 entire length of the frame, v^ , 

 Wlien the giye stpps^ the ipiiiie 

 generally goes back into place 

 a^ia. 



It's this weaving back and f^rth 

 that loosens the glass, a little at a 

 time, until first thing you know 

 it's slipping. 



You kiww the rest. ^ ' 



We positively refuse to gamble 

 with gables. 



The arable posta are flat bar steel like the roof raftem, 



The gable pnrlliM are ated angiea. 



The pnriiiw are bolted tofliopaats by doable angle 



Such gables make such houses Each gable bar laaerewed to eadipnrlin

weave. 



You can't see the weaving by just 

 But when you«look at the loosened 

 are looking at what the weaving 



looking at the house, 

 glass, you know you 

 caused. 



We put enough steel into them to 

 insat^ rigklity. 



Framed the way we frame them, 

 no heavy prop-bracings are neces- 

 sary. 

 They are clean cut and free, but 



they sure do stand the winds pounding. 



When you are ready id talk building— say when and 



where and we'll be there.
