Web Write-Up: This Monopitch structures measuring just under 460m² was erected in the heart of Pietermaritzburg in an area which has substantial visibility and caters for those customers within the budget and income streams.
The roof sheeting of choice was the 0.47 IBR Zincal in Thunderstorm Grey. The Monopitch has a 15 degree fall allowing for a steady fall of water which can be harvested and utilized in the washing of vehicles and feeding ablution facilities.
The steel was finished with one coat of grey etch primer as per the clients requirement.
