An I-beam header installed on the garage frames to allow for the garage door openings. The header allows shortened columns to sit on top instead of going all the way to the foundation. Headers are used when an opening for a door or window falls where a column would normally be located.

Excalibur's exclusive angle plate, double welded peak connection provides a stronger, more positive connection that makes it easier and quicker to line up and bolt rafters and stub columns together. Other systems' flat plate connection can warp or bend when lifting heaver frames which can create misalignment in the peaks.

Red Iron frames installed for a wrap-around porch. The roof and ceiling framing on this porch will be installed after the second story brick is laid which provides for a quicker and neater brick job.

A Red Iron ceiling beam and stub columns are boxed-in with galvanized track and studs. This allows higher cathedral ceilings than can obtained by scissor truss frames. The boxed beams can be dry walled and finished like the ceiling or wrapped in trim grade wood and stained or painted.
