Rounded • Bearing Beam

The REVOLU TRMA features rafters curved on the outside edge and a Bearing Beam. The main feature of a bearing beam is that it allows flexible post placement. Posts can move left or right, while the bearing beam can move forward or back. This brings two advantages. One, we can create a cantilever roof edge that can protect a banister/deck from the elements. Two, this setup help with post setback issues. Maximum Projection is 15’

REVOLU General Properties:
Projections 3’ to 8’ have a Panel-width of 36”
Projections 9’ to 15’ have a Panel-width of 18”
Rafter sizes are specifically designed to accommodate these projections. Shop drawings and specific structural reports are available from Japan.

A Japanese Patio Cover is ordinarily attached straight to a house wall. It can however, if needed, be mounted on top of a roof with special ledgers and brackets.
