Customizing Your Steel Structure

So many customers ask if their new steel structure can be customized based on their needs. Of course! The best thing about a steel building is the ability to add height, length, and width so you get exactly what you need for your space. You are not obligated to purchase the models you see on the lot. Our selection of steel products fit all shapes and sizes.

CHOOSING A ROOF STYLE

There are three roof styles available on steel structures: the rounded roof, the horizontal boxed roof, and the vertical roof.

Rounded roof features

The rounded roof is the most economical style. The roof panels are constructed horizontally. There are some limitations to the rounded roof style. The maximum length is 36ft. A major disadvantage of the rounded roof style is the horizontal paneling allows debris to sit between the grooves of the roof panels.

Horizontal boxed roof features

The horizontal boxed roof is the mid-range style. It has the appealing A-frame design at an affordable price. If you're looking to match your house roof line, this is a great option at a lower cost. However, just like the rounded roof, the paneling is horizontal. The downside is any debris will remain between the grooves of the horizontal panels. That's not a problem if you're installing in an open space without trees but it may become a maintenance issue otherwise.

Vertical roof features

The vertical roof style is the strongest of the three roof options. There are both lateral and vertically-run steel supports in the truss system of the vertical roof. The greatest advantage of this option is the panels are vertically constructed just like the roof panels on your house. Debris will fall off side to side, allowing for a lower maintenance of the roof.

SIZE AND HEIGHT

When customizing your steel building, the sky is the limit to size or height. Your new steel building can be constructed clear span up to 60ft wide. The maximum side wall height is 20ft tall. And the length is only limited by your space!

ADDING A LEAN-TO

Need a place to store the tractor or boat next to your garage? Adding a lean-to is the perfect solution. Keep costs down and the protection up with this economical add-on to your new steel garage. Storing all the outdoor equipment and vehicles in one structure is a great space-saver.

CREATING A UTILITY STORAGE

When you need that perfect combination of carport and storage, a utility storage model is the way to go. Get the right of amount of storage space in the back of the carport. Choose a storage capacity in increments of 5ft lengths. For example, a 10x20 storage unit with a rollup door to protect your mower and lawn tools can be added to the back of your two-car carport. Or you can protect your RV and add some storage to the back of the cover for all the other lawn equipment. Utility Combo Units are practical space-savers.

CUSTOM WINDOWS AND GARAGE DOORS

Customers who want the convenience of an electric garage door don't have to sacrifice their tastes with a roll-up door. We can provide custom frame-outs for the garage door you want! Simply tell us the size opening you need for your new door and your own garage door contractor can install the size and style you want. The same thing applies to windows or doors. You are not stuck with the doors and windows we offer. We can install the frame-out size you need and your window or door installer can finish with the look you want.

INSULATION

Steel buildings can be insulated! We offer a product called "double bubble" for our steel structures. The double bubble is encased in a white plastic sleeve to protect the insulation from moisture. All steel buildings condensate, so the plastic barrier is vital. You can choose to insulate the entire structure, just the roof, or just the walls. We make it easy for any budget.
