Forster is a pleasant town on the northern coast of New South Wales. It is perhaps a little surprising that such a modest sized town has a new Bunnings Hardware Store, but there is a lot of building going on in the area.

This Bunnings is unusual in that it has no internal columns. Therefore the portal frames have a clear span of 53 metres, which was a bit of a challenge for Osborn Lane and our clients, Rimco. Beam depths vary up to 1500mm, at the haunches of the non-standard frames around the main entry.
