Northern Wyoming Bighorn Mountain foothills with high wind exposure and 80 freeze-thaw cycles. Those loads are the reason our commitments are specific rather than generic. Every system we spec here is built to the ground snow load and design wind speed Sheridan has adopted into code, not a regional average.

Note this is not predicted by average snowfall, which is the lowest of the five here: ASCE ground snow load reflects extreme-event loading and foothill proximity, and total snowfall does not reliably predict it on drier, wind-scoured High Plains sites. Using typical ASCE 7-16 factors (Exposure 1.0, Thermal 1.0, Importance 1.0), this translates to an approximate flat roof snow load of about 28 psf.

Not explicitly stated in the source located. Given Sheridan's mix of open plains and foothill adjacent development, both Exposure B and Exposure C conditions may apply depending on the specific site. C is used here as the default consistent with other Wyoming cities in this set, but each site should be verified individually.
On record:Sheridan County's confirmed tornado history is limited, with one recorded event describing a small homestead structure destroyed in the county's southeast corner. No county specific hail day count or risk index rating specific to Sheridan was located, though Wyoming as a whole averages about ten tornadoes per year.

- 01
Sheridan serves as A-1's northern Wyoming anchor, with project access across the Bighorn basin and the Montana border corridor
- 02
At 16 inches of average annual snowfall Sheridan is the driest of A-1's Wyoming markets, so the design problem in the Bighorn foothills is not accumulation but the rapid melt and refreeze that follows chinook wind events
- 03
Sheridan's hospitality and resort building stock includes large single-story structures with high roof-to-footprint ratios where SPF's added insulation value creates measurable energy cost reductions
- 04

Sheridan roofing facts
- 01Why does freeze-thaw matter for commercial roofs in Sheridan?
- Because Sheridan, WY runs through an estimated 80 freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water that gets into a seam freezes, expands, and opens the seam further with every cycle, so the roof system has to be watertight as one surface.
- 02How much wind does a Sheridan commercial roof have to be built for?
- Design to 105 mph at Exposure C under ASCE 7, then verify with the Sheridan building department. Uplift resistance at edges and corners is what that figure drives on a low-slope roof.
- 03How much snow does a Sheridan commercial roof carry in a typical winter?
- Sheridan averages roughly 16 inches of snowfall a year. Drifting against parapets and rooftop units concentrates that load, so drainage paths and drift zones are checked in every assessment.
- 04If my Sheridan roof is leaking, how quickly will A-1 get back to me?
- Within 24 business hours. Report an active leak through the contact page or by phone and it moves to the front of the Sheridan, WY schedule.
- 05Which structural loads govern a commercial roof in Sheridan?
- Two numbers: 40 psf ground snow load (Code of record figure per IBC 2018 Table 1608.2 as adopted by the City of Sheridan, the highest ground snow load of the five cities. Note this is not predicted by average snowfall, which is the lowest of the five here: ASCE ground snow load reflects extreme-event loading and foothill proximity, and total snowfall does not reliably predict it on drier, wind-scoured High Plains sites. Using typical ASCE 7-16 factors (Exposure 1.0, Thermal 1.0, Importance 1.0), this translates to an approximate flat roof snow load of about 28 psf.) and 105 mph design wind at Exposure C (105 mph 3-second gust (90 mph sustained), per a City of Sheridan design criteria search result.). Sheridan's 40 psf ground snow load, the highest of the five cities, combined with its highest annual humidity and precipitation day count, makes snow drift management at parapets and mechanical curbs and moisture resistant detailing the top priorities here, more so than in the drier, wind dominated southern cities. The calmer average wind speed compared with the other four cities somewhat reduces uplift as the primary driver, though the 105 mph design gust still requires standard high wind attachment practices. Verify current figures locally before specifying.
- 06What is the working window for a roof project in Sheridan?
- About 131 days, May 27 to Sep 18 in a typical year. Repairs run year-round; full coating and spray foam applications are scheduled inside that window because cure times stretch in the cold.
