Non-Structural Parapet

Nucor's Non-Structural Parapet Systems for metal buildings consist of extended wall panels and a (18 gauge) spacer 10’-0” long to provide structural support. These types of parapets are typically used on steel and metal buildings with lower roof slopes.

At the rake parapet condition, the minimum height above the roof steel line is 10”. The maximum height above the roof steel line at the rake condition is 3’-6”. Allowable heights above the roof line for non-structural parapets varies based on codes and loads in your specific local.
