To add or move walls, remove the column cover and unbolt the walls. Then move the walls and bolt back together. Makes it easier to move walls around. | Walls slip into a "U" channel and attached with screws. The "U" channel is welded to square tube columns. The columns are redheaded into the concrete and attached to the roof system. If you would like to add or take out walls you would have to dismantle the roof system and slide out the walls. This makes it a little more complicated to change out walls. |
