The Solid Waste Open Storage (Pole Barn) is located at 13009 Beulah Road in Cantonment, Florida. Built in 1990 as part of a larger operational facility, the pole barn is used to house tractors and other equipment when not in use at the Perdido Landfill. It is a simply constructed one story building consisting of an open air wood framed structure with a wood truss and corrugated metal panel gable roof. High winds and impact damage from flying debris were the main causes of the damages observed at the pole barn.

The damages sustained to the Solid Waste Open Storage (Pole Barn) were limited to the roof and roof structure, but were significant enough to be considered major repairs. Firstly, the damaged corrugated metal panels on both the roof and gable ends need to be removed in order to access the wood framing supporting the metal panels. Once a proper evaluation of the roof structure is performed, the damaged components of the wood framing and the eight (8) damaged wood trusses need to be removed and new lumber installed, which does include new prefabricated wood trusses and 2” x 4” wood purlins. Once the wooden trusses are back in place and tied together via the wood purlins, corrugated metal panels can be reinstalled on the roof and at the gable ends.
