what is a steel building?
Made of standardized components engineered to meet specific criteria and building codes, our building kits consist of a steel framework of beams and columns that are connected using welded or bolted connections.
- Bay Spacing: The intervals between rigid frames
- Sidewall: Exterior wall perpendicular to steel building frames
- Rigid Frame: Structural frame with moment connections
- Wall Girt: Horizontal member supporting paneling
- Eave Height: Vertical dimensions from floor to eave
- End Wall: Exterior wall parallel to interior rigid frame

2. Maximum space
Easily expandable, pre-engineered steel buildings can meet almost any size requirement, from 30x40 to 300x400 or more, all without the need for interior pillars, giving you the maximum usable indoor space. Ideal for ag equipment storage, toy garages, commercial offices, manufacturing, and more.
3. durability and longevity
Steel is extremely durable, resistant to heat/corrosion, and boasts an incredibly long lifespan. It's engineered to withstand anything nature can throw at it, from wind, snow, and seismic activity. When you build with steel, you're building for the next generation, all while requiring minimal maintenance.
