Standard Features
Heartland has also included some additional structural benefits:
Design and Construction
The foundation of any home is the most important part of the structure and Heartland starts from the very beginning with a reliable frame. The Big Country frame is a solid rolled steel I-Beam that boasts rugged durability and uncompromising strength. The 10in I-Beam frame stock is shipped in from the steel mill, and when it arrives is quickly sandblasted to ensure no rust or corrosion from the very start. The frame utilizes welded full length outriggers that give maximum support to the outer edge of the main floor which will support the sidewalls. Just like a floor joist in your home, Big Country uses steel rod and Z-Bar bridgework supports that give the I-Beam extreme side to side structural integrity.
The Big Country frame is powder coated with some of the toughest primer coating in the business. Electrical currents are attached to the steel frame during spraying, causing the powder coating to magnetically attach to the steel. The powder coating process is far more effective at preventing rust than typical painted-on primers used by other manufacturers.
