Gill PIT GARAGES Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Pit Garage assembly instructions, specifically focusing on snow load gusset installation for models 881018, 881425, 882120, and 883022. This document provides guidance for adding snow load gussets to increase the snow load capacity of your garage. I understand how it should be done and can help answer your questions about the installation process.
  • When are snow load gussets recommended?
    What is the snow load capacity of garages with installed gussets?
    How should the gussets be installed on trusses?
