Understand every component of a metal building — frames, trusses, panels, anchors, bracing, and accessories.

Structural Components

The steel frame is the skeleton of your building. Trusses span the width and support the roof panels. Available in 14-gauge and 12-gauge steel.

Vertical supports that hold up the frame. Standard heights range from 6' to 20'. Legs are anchored to the ground, concrete, or asphalt.

Available in 29-gauge or 26-gauge steel. Three roof styles: Regular (rounded), A-Frame (boxed eave), and Vertical (standing seam).

Horizontal or vertical panels that enclose the sides of the building. Same gauge options as roof panels.

The triangular portion at each end of the building. Can be open, partially enclosed, or fully enclosed.

Diagonal supports that add rigidity and wind resistance to the frame. Critical for meeting wind load certifications.

Concrete anchors, mobile home anchors, or rebar anchors secure the building to the ground. Proper anchoring is essential for warranty coverage.

Finishing pieces that seal edges, corners, and transitions between panels. Protects against water infiltration.
