Wide houses make big gables" 



To be good gables they must be held rigid and not cast too much shade. Notice 

 the steel posts — six in all, not counting the corner posts. 



All these posts go down below the frost line to a concrete base, then up through 

 the cement wall and are bolted to the steel end roof rafters. 



Being held firmly top and bottom, the point that would spring is therefore in the 

 middle. 



The middle line is just about over the top of the doors at the first gable purlin. 



At this point we put diagonal braces extending from the intersection of the first 

 purlin and posts to the intersection of the roof purlins and rafters. 



The gable, therefore, can neither blow in nor blow out and is what we started 

 out to get — a rigid gable. 



When you think of good greenhouses, think of King.
