GENERAL
1.0 Scope
These general specifications describe the design, materials of construction,
fabrication, assembly and characteristics of the standard Freedom Series™
fiberglass composite shelter. Optional features and additional provisions are
also outlined.
2.1 Shelter Type
2.1.1 The Freedom Series™ shelter is a durable, corrosion-resistant, molded
fiberglass composite structure comprised of four molded wall panels, a molded
one-piece roof, and a molded door(s). Floors are optional. The standard shelter is
pre-assembled but can be shipped for easy on-site assembly.
2.2 Standard Sizes
2.2.1 Standard widths are 4 foot to 16 foot in two foot increments. Custom
widths are available.
2.2.2 Standard lengths are 6 foot to 24 foot in four inch increments. Custom
lengths are available.
2.2.3 Standard wall height is 8 foot. Overall height is relative to the width of
the shelter:

2.2.4 The inside height is not less than eight foot near the walls. The vaulted
inside ceiling height at the peak or ridge is the same as the overall height
(less the thickness of the roof, which is typically 1.25").
2.2.5 A flat ceiling may be integrated as an option.
2.2.6 Custom heights are available at an additional cost.
2.3 Standard Weights

Options which will increase the weight of each shelter:
1. Floor systems, fiberglass, wood, aluminum or steel
2. Additional optional equipment: heaters, A/C units, etc.
3. "Hard Core," the addition of wood along with the foam core constructions. This is
recommended when equipment and fixtures will be attached to the walls.
4. Additional foam thickness will increase structural, R-values, and overall weight. The Freedom
series™ has a standard 1.5" foam core, R-10 insulation. See table guide below for specific needs.
