Custom Structure Types
Rubb can provide custom designed building types in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit all clients' needs.
BVR Structure
The BVR features rectangular leg and roof box sections. This takes up less space and provides more overall internal clearance. This design is a popular choice for bulk storage buildings.
BVE Structure
BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
AVS Structure
The AVS structure type is a modified version of the AVC with a single pitch roof. The design originated in the US and features a vertical sidewall.
AVC Structure
The AVC structure type is a larger version of the BVE. The design originated in the US and features a vertical sidewall.
