Modular building having integrated guttering and assembly method
A modular building 10 is provided having integrated guttering which comprises a plurality of vertical struts 38, each vertical strut 38 being at least in part hollow to form a down- pipe. A plurality of horizontal struts 3 has a gulley 34. Couplings 12 comprise an upper connectorportion 14 and a lower connector portion 16 respectively engagable with lower and upper ends 40, 42 of each said vertical strut 38, the upper and lower connector portions 14, 16 having a flow channel 22. The couplings 12 further comprise a lateral connector portion 18, an end of each horizontal strut 30 being receivably engagable with the lateral connector portion such that the gutter can discharge collected water into the coupling 12 and/or down-pipe. Also claimed is a method of constructing a vertical assembly with a strut, connectors and a connector rod. Also claimed is a horizontal assembly where the strut is inserted into the connector. Also claimed is a roofing assembly where a cap is vertically actuated to sealingaly engage with roof panels.
