Steel Building Barn
The balance of weight, strength, and price makes steel the easy choice for large buildings today. Our metal barns for sale across the country utilize steel to meet local building codes and last for decades without breaking the bank. Customize your new steel building barn to meet your needs, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Framing
Trusses and support beams are 14 gauge double coated galvanized steel. In wider building designs, 12 gauge trusses may be necessary. Weight-bearing framing is guaranteed to last 20 years without developing any rust (ask about our rust warranty for details).
Roof and Wall Panels
We offer a variety of metal panels ranging in size, ribbing, and color to best fit the structure. These panels are rated to last at least as long as the framing. Our installation teams use horizontal siding to give the buildings a distinct look. We also offer vertical siding for buildings that need extra support.
Weather Rating
