2 portal frame squares are almost 4m high and 6m long spanned wooden frames. We chosencomposite beam composite of 24mm engineering plywood and timber beams. The beams are put not in a transverse direction, which is a normal method, but in a longitudinal direction, to make the frame much thinner than usual.
