Abstract: A structural bracket assembly for a residential or commercial trellis. The structural bracket assembly comprises an aluminum mounting plate securable to a vertical wall having a support member extending outwardly therefrom at an angle and terminating with an end plate. Plywood is fastened to the top and the bottom of the support member. Roofing material is fastened to the upper piece of plywood, and a soffit panel is secured to the lower piece of plywood. A frieze board is secured to the vertical wall beneath the lower piece of plywood to conceal the mounting plate, and a hollow rafter tail is secured to the soffit panel. In one embodiment, the rafter tail is spaced apart from a support bracket by a cross beam.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a faux wood grain finish to plastic architectural plastic boards. The method employs a climate-controlled area for denibbing of boards to prepare a surface and a sprayer to achieve a desired depth of color. A wiper spreads the sprayed on material to form a faux grain finish which may include faux wood knots. The boards are directed through a combination infrared and convection oven having independent curing zones providing specific drying profiles. Once cured, the boards are cooled with forced air cool down fans and transferred into a climate-controlled area for applying a topcoat. The topcoat board is passed through an oven set to a defined temperature for curing and cooled down with forced air cool down fans before packaging and shipping.

Abstract: An improved architectural trim device constructed from cellular polyvinylchloride. The process employs manufacturing dimensionalized cellular PVC architectural components from a single sheet of plastic that can achieve both linear and radius shapes without using heat bending techniques. The process strengthens the cellular PVC, giving it more structural integrity than other products made strictly of cellular PVC. These techniques enable the manufacture of components with tighter tolerances than traditional heat bending techniques which distort the size and shape of the material making accurate and precise assembly difficult.
