Knoxville Site & Climate Factors

Knoxville sits on the East Tennessee valley-and-ridge, with moderate snow and humidity. Combined with Tennessee's Wind Zone II requirements and light ground snow loads, these conditions determine how your building must be engineered. A local dealer will provide engineer-stamped drawings sized to your exact site and county code.

• Engineer-stamped drawings required: All Tennessee municipalities require drawings stamped by a licensed engineer registered in TN. Local dealers provide these.
