A TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING AND VERANDAH SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a transportable building (12,14,16,18) having a plurality of anchor points associated therewith that is adapted to receive an upright support post (34,36) for supporting a verandah. Portable camps typically include a plurality of such buildings aligned longitudinally in a transversely opposed and spaced apart arrangement. The verandah system (10) of the present invention is adapted to provide shelter to the area (32) between the transversely opposed buildings. The present invention further provides for a structurally robust verandah system in that it is tensioned both longitudinally and transversely across a plurality of buildings, and is further easily assembled and disassembled which is advantageous in situations where camps must be shifted on a regular basis, such as during the construction of pipelines across a large distance.
