Fiberglass Church Steeple Height 10 Foot

Wind Loading: Different areas of the country have different wind loading requirements. Coastal areas usually have requirements that steeples meet 155mph+ wind loading requirements. It is the churches responsibility to determine the local requirements. Our standard steeples meet 120mph wind loading so if you require 155+ please email us before ordering for a quote to make your steeple meet 155+ requirements (this usually involves engineering reports and additional bracking).
