Sports & Recreation Facility Roofing decision points
Recreation buildings are defined by what they do not have: interior columns. A field house, an ice rink, a multi-court gym, or an indoor pool needs wide-open floor space, which means the roof has to span long distances with little or no support underneath. That long clear-span structure behaves differently than a typical commercial roof; it flexes more, it carries snow over big unbroken areas, and it leaves the membrane and details to handle movement that a column-supported roof never sees. We roof these facilities across central Ohio with that structure in mind, because a system that ignores how a clear-span roof actually moves will not last over one.
