Type B Metal Deck for Florida Stadiums and Arenas
In stadiums and arenas, 1.5" Type B deck fits concourse roofs, concession stands, press boxes, suites, locker rooms and support buildings, where framing falls within its spans. Main roofs over seating bowls usually span farther and use 3" Type N or deep roof deck. Open canopies need G90. We supply Type B and Type N and can deliver large volumes by phase.
Deck by area
- Concourse, suite and support roofs: 1.5" Type B, 22 to 16 gauge.
- Longer spans: 3" Type N long span deck, 24" coverage.
- Seating canopies and walkways: the catalog lists deep roof deck for long-span canopies. Ask for availability.
- Exposed ceilings in clubs or concourses: painted deck, or acoustic options where sound control matters.
Florida venue realities
Open canopies and cantilevered roofs take high wind uplift from both sides, and the deck sees weather on both faces. That points to G90 and an attachment pattern designed by the engineer.
Venue schedules are fixed by opening dates. Shop drawings with phase-by-phase cutting lists keep material flowing to each zone. Send the roof plans for a takeoff and quote.
Related Questions
Can Type B deck be used under a stadium's seating?
Not as the seating surface. Seating risers are normally precast concrete or composite slabs. Under the stands, Type B can roof the enclosed rooms below. Floors in suites and press levels often use composite floor deck. We supply both, so a single takeoff can cover the roof and floor deck for the support structures.
How large a quantity can you supply for a venue?
Venue roofs are big, and we size supply to the takeoff and the phasing. Send the documents, and we will confirm how material can be produced and delivered against your schedule, without promising dates before we see the scope. Sequenced shop drawings help us match supply to each zone.
