KING EAVES 



' n U 10 mt 



A good eave is a vital part of the life of a greenhouse. 



Strength — Lea^ Shade — Good Drainage are the 



points to look for. 



The eave on the left is for side sash. 



The eave on the right is for fixed glass. 



LOOK THEM OVER. 



1 — Sash bar at rafter or rafter cap. 



2 — Steel rafter. 



3 — Malleable purlin casting fastens purlin to rafters with 

 one bolt. 



-Malleable eave casting and eave bracket combined in 

 two halves, one on each side of post and rafter. Bolt 

 holes drilled accurately to size of bolt. We do not use 

 5^" bolt in J4" punched holes. 



-Angle eave 2x3x54" "Style A" cut to accurate length, 

 drilled, fitted and THEN galvanized. We don't buy 

 carloads of galvanized angles from the Mills and then 

 cut and drill them through the galvanizing. 



6 — Galvanized drip pans good and big. Most drip pans are 

 so small that they soon fill with dirt and the drip runs 

 over, keeping the side wall wet all the time. We use 

 ^" galvanized drain pipes every 25 feet. Most drains 

 are H" or J^" and soon get clogged. 



7 — Cross section of side sash showing joint at each rafter 

 covered with galvanized strap extending around bottom. 



8 — Continuous angle sash rail, making joint between side 

 sash and fixed glass below. 



9 — Cast iron sill %" thick and 5" wide to cover a 4" con- 

 crete side wall, cast in 8' 5" lengths from post to post. 



10 — Malleable eave casting — one on each side of rafter and 



post, with side lug to hold screw for rafter cap and lug 



to hold eave pipe purlin. 

 -Continuous 1" pipe eave purlin held at rafter with set 



screw and between rafters at sash bars with special pipe 



straps. 

 -King style "L" eave forms the joint between roof and 



side glass. It is made of galvanized steel laps under the 



roof glass and over the side glass. 



13 — A malleable casting covers the joint of the bars. The 

 bars miter at the cave, carrying all condensation from 

 the roof down the side wall to the sill. A shadeless, 

 dripless eave, patented. 



1-^ — Cross section of wide bar at post. Intermediate sash 

 bars are l%" wide and 1^" deep.
