Alumaroom Specifications
The Frame, Wall, and Roof Systems
The Ameri-Brand Rooms Heavy Duty framework system is constructed of 1" x 2" x -1/8" wall thickness rectangular aluminum tube. All bolts for the construction of the framework are stainless steel. The perimeter bolts used to secure the perimeter to a concrete or wooden deck are zinc coated steel. We supply all items needed to construct the room. There is nothing else to buy.
All intersecting points of the framework are attached with Heavy Duty Slip Fittings which are pre-drilled to accept the stainless steel bolts. The arches of the room have typical 5' spacings for strength. A unique truss support system coupled with steel tensioning cables assures an extremely stout structure and it looks good too!
The wall coverings are designed to ride on a polymer track which is secured to the perimeter of the room. This perimeter is "sealed" to the deck with weatherstripping to keep out cold air and unwanted bugs. These coverings can be made from screen, clear vinyl, or a solid vinyl color. Here's a view of a corner on one of our rooms. The walls are tensioned both vertically and horizontally (inside the room) with polyester webbing straps and tensioning buckles. The length of each wall varies according to the size of the room. Normally, a single wall panel can run up to 50' long. By tensioning the walls in such a manner, the room itself is made stronger and there are virtually no sags or wrinkles in the wall fabric whether it's screen or solid vinyl. This tensioning is so effective, if you were to throw a tennis ball at it, it would come shooting back at you!
Wall heights are a standard 6'-4" and the gables of the framework are set at a pitched angle. The angle varies according to the width of the room. The Rooms are able to withstand light to moderate snow loads with the appropriate bracing kit we offer as an option. Since the non-screened rooms trap warm air inside, a NON FOSSIL FUELED heater can be used to heat the room to help snow melt off during a snow storm. Should you live in an exceptionally heavy snow area, removal of the top panel is recommended and the walls can be left in place to provide a lockable fence for security if your room is over a swimming pool.
The roof system is manufactured as a 1 piece unit. It is installed by using a series of crank handles which are included with your kit. This crank system pulls the top cap of your room up and over the unit. The roof system is secured with a track and locking knob system which you can see a diagram of HERE. The top perimeter hem of the roof cap accepts a round tube. The threaded shaft of the knob attaches to the tube and is secured by tightening the knob into the vertical track while placing downward pressure (with the tensioning strap provided) on the hem. It is a very strong system.
Standard configurations for our rooms are rectangles. Each unit is equipped with a locking double zippered roll up door. If you desire a hinged "man-door" they are available as an option. Pricing can be found HERE.
Not an ASTM or ICBO rated structure. Classified as a Temporary Structure.

Fabric Selections
Our Room Enclosures have walls that can be made in your choice of either clear 20 mil vinyl or Heavy Duty 11 oz. Vinyl Screen Mesh. If you desire a solid color fabric wall system in lieu of the screen, we have them available in many colors at no additional charge. The Screen is Available in many Beautiful Colors. This Screen is a Vinyl Coated Polyester Mesh with a shade factor of approximately 70%.
Solid vinyl is used to make certain areas of the wall systems and hems on the roof. These vinyls are color matched to the screen you select, or in the case of an all clear room, we would ask you which color you would like for the trim on the unit.
The Clear Vinyl used is 20 mil. Crystal Clear PVC vinyl. You have the option of an any of the wall and top materials wherever you would like them on the room, all at the same price. Each room we make is custom made to fit your specifications.
