Paneling system and method

Abstract

In one embodiment, a paneling system comprises interconnecting paneling units configured such that adjacent paneling units matingly abut each other. Each of the paneling units includes a first panel and a second panel. At least one joist is positioned on and connected to the first panel and the second panel. The first panel and the second panel form a volume therebetween and the volume is filled with insulation. In another embodiment, a support system for a paneling unit includes a support beam resting on a row of at least two posts, wherein the posts are positioned a distance from a structure. In this embodiment, a second support is positioned adjacent the structure. At least one paneling unit spans between the support beam and the second support. The paneling unit rests on the support beam and the second support.

Benefits of technology

[0008] In one embodiment, a portable paneling system for forming a structure comprises one or more panel units assembled together. One end of each of the panel units is supported by a beam resting on a single row of concrete posts. Optionally, the single row of posts includes a pair of posts spaced a desired distance apart from each other to support the beam. The si

Problems solved by technology

Further, portions assembled are typically unwieldy for transport and installation due to weight and size.

Moreover, pre-assembled portions typically limit the size and strength of the components in order to minimize the weight and size of the components during transport and assembly.

Past systems for manufacturing and assembling such sunrooms have required the com
