Endwall Framing

Product catalog summary

Primary & Endwall Framing Column Layout Information
This section provides terminology and standard column locations to facilitate communication for quotes and orders. Key terms include LEW (Left Endwall), REW (Right Endwall), FSW (Front Sidewall), and BSW (Back Sidewall). The standard post & beam corner column orientation may be rotated based on building requirements.

Endwall Framing
Standard endwall framing uses a 'Post and Beam' system with straight-section columns and continuous rafters. Cold-formed materials are standard, with built-up materials available at extra cost. Bypass girt condition is standard with 25’-0” column spacing, while inset and flush conditions use 20’-0” spacing. Optional systems include 'Half-Load' and 'Expandable' full load rigid frames. For buildings ≤30’-0” wide, using half-load or full-load rigid frames can be more cost-effective.

Standard Bypass Endwall Column Spacing Chart
This section provides a chart for standard bypass endwall column spacing, last revised on 04/12/02.

Standard Inset and Flush Endwall Column Spacing Chart
This section includes a chart for standard inset and flush endwall column spacing, last revised on 04/08/02.

Standard Endwall Bracing
Endwall X-bracing is essential for frame stability, typically located between the first and second interior endwall columns. The standard system uses rod or cable braces. Bracing is full height, with tiered options for mezzanine systems or tall buildings. 'T'-plates can be used to avoid interference with adjacent walkdoors. The number of brace locations varies with building dimensions, and consultation with Nucor is advised for specific requirements.
