Plus, Maze “Pole Barn” nails are 100% American-made.

MWI Components (Booth 509) has been working to add features to its cupolas to enhance usability. One feature they have been developing is window accessibility. This feature allows builders and owners to easily access the space within the cupola once it is fully assembled on the building. The design includes four thumb screws with lock nuts, stiffeners around the edges with a sealant barrier, and the top of the window panel has a  cap to protect the window panel against the elements entering the cupola.

The Graber family and team at Strongwall Columns have been attending this show for years. They’re excited to introduce their new premium laminated column in Booth 231. One of the product’s features is their high-profile structural finger joint.Focusing on quality, trust, and relationships, their goal is a quality nail lam at a fair price.  

True Metal Supply (Booth 207) is exhibiting its True Board and Batten Steel Siding, which offers the beautiful look of realistic vertical wood siding, without the preventative maintenance. This 26-gauge or 24-gauge, 10” coverage, 3/4” batten steel siding features crinkle textured paint or wood-grain prints on a concealed-fastened panel for a seamless finish. Unlike wood siding, steel Board and Batten isn’t susceptible to termite damage, chipping, cracking, or splitting, doesn’t need repainting, and is extremely energy efficient.
