Abstract (en)

A spring clip member for a storage building is provided. The spring clip member is adapted to be snap-fit to an elongate structural member of the storage building. The spring clip member includes a first portion shaped to follow a first contour of the elongate structural member, a second portion extending from said first portion and shaped to follow a second contour of the elongate structural member, a third portion extending from said second portion and shaped to follow a third contour of the elongate structural member, and a deflectable portion extending from said third portion and adapted to elastically deflect and to securely engage the elongate structural member. The spring clip member may be, for example, part of a gable member adapted to be snap-fit to an upper panel channel of a storage building, or, alternatively, part of a debris deflector adapted to be snap-fit to a lower panel channel of a storage building. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
