A manufacturing method is provided during which a plurality of first apertures are formed in a first plate to provide an apertured first plate. The apertured first plate is configured from or otherwise includes first plate metal. A first sheet is bonded to the apertured first plate to form a first grid structure. The first apertures extend through the apertured first plate to the first sheet. The first sheet is configured from or otherwise includes first sheet metal.

A construction system includes a set of constituent elements, at least one of which includes at least two superimposed folds each including at least two wooden structural boards. In this system, at least two constituent elements are fixed together by a non-adhesive fixing device and at least two adjacent folds are held against each other by non-adhesive holding device. The faces in contact with two structural boards are at least partially provided, at their contact interface, with a set of grooved patterns arranged so as to prevent the structural boards from sliding one relative to the other along at least one first immobilisation axis. A method for manufacturing such a construction system is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a grid deck with shear-resisting plates and the assembly of the grid decks. The shear-resisting plates are pre-cast in the grid deck and protrude from the side surfaces thereof. When the grid decks with shear-resisting plates are assembled, they are laid on the beams with the shear-resisting plates contacting the beams and without the grid decks contacting the beams.

An electrically insulated trellis comprises a first array of parallel tubular members 2 and a second array of parallel tubular members 4. Each of the second array of parallel tubular members 4 is pivotably connected to a plurality of the first array of parallel tubular members 2 whereby to form a trellis 1. Each of the tubular members is formed from glass-reinforced polymer. A first set of fibres in the glass-reinforced polymer are substantially parallel and aligned in a first direction and a second set of fibres in the glass-reinforced polymer, distinct from the first set, are substantially parallel and aligned in a second direction different to the first direction.

This invention is designed as a rigid, stationary, non load bearing, exterior wall panel for installation in semi enclosed rooms, additions and outdoor structures such as decks, patios, gazebos, hot tub or spa enclosures, outdoor kitchens and dining areas, and as skirting for the enclosure of spaces beneath elevated constructs such as certain foundations, mobile homes, crawl spaces, porches, stairs, and walkways.

It is an improvement upon conventional wooden lattice panel in that in addition to ventilation, privacy, and prevention of entry by unauthorized persons, the incorporation of wire mesh insect screen prevents entry by flying insects, birds and other animals, blowing leaves and other debris, as well as reduce the quantity of snow and dust blown into said enclosure by wind.

The wooden latticework grid structure secures the screen layered within preventing it from becoming loose or sagging over time, a problem wherefor conventional insect screen is notorious.

Additionally, the segmented connecting lath strips which abutt the long strips of same which complete the gridwork structure and border the edges of said panel provide increased strength, durability, rigidity, structural integrity, and enhanced aesthetics.
