Engineered footings systems range from pre-cast concrete pad footings to custom poured concrete footings, set 48" to 60" below grade. (per code).

Post types range from solid sawn timbers to multi-ply engineered laminated columns. Posts and columns are treated to a minimum retention of .60 lbs of CCA-C preservative per cubic foot of wood.

Post Spaces range from 6' to 8' on center. Spacing flexibility allows us to combine your building needs with the most economical and structurally sound design.

Truss Spacing ranges from 2' to 8' on center. Truss and post spacing are normally equal to each other in cold storage buildings.  However buildings that are going to be finished inside may have posts 8' on center and trusses 2' to 4' on center depending on ceiling material type and other design criteria.

Wall systems typically start with a 9" non-arsenic treated baseboard system and continue up with #2 and better and/or 1650# MSR (Machine Stress Rated) wall girts. MSR lumber is mechanically tested and graded for strength and integrity.

Engineered roof systems include 1650# MSR purlins and engineered trusses set on notched columns. Notching the columns allows the weight of the roof system to be directly transferred to the columns and footings. Standard trusses include a 5lb - 7lb ceiling-load for the safe installation of a steel ceiling.

Steel Roofing and Siding products are a 29 gauge, G60 panel with a 45-year siliconized polyester paint warranty. Upgrade options include: G90, G100, 26 gauge, and Kynar paint finish. Steel siding and roofing are typically fastened with gasket mounted screws.

Ventilation design includes continuous ridge venting mesh at the peak of the building and unobstructed ribs at both eaves with a roof steel overhang of 6". This unique design allows for maximum, non-mechanical, "free air movement" of fresh air into the building attic airspace at the eaves , and the escape of warm humid air out at the ridge, while effectively restricting rain and snow from entering the building.

The ridge is a 20" wide metal cap running the length of the building at the peak of the roof. For cold storage buildings, polycarbonate ridge cap is a "clear as glass" economical lighting solution rated 20 times stronger than fiberglass.

Windows are a commercial grade, horizontal sliding, maintenance-free, and pre-finished in an aluminum frame. Some options include: custom colors, fixed light picture windows, single hung windows, and insulated glass.

Walk-in Doors are a white commercial grade, maintenance-free, pre-finished, steel frame, and steel-panel service door. Some options include: Upgrade and custom colors, cross buck and six panel designs, glass, deadbolts, and closer hardware.

Non-insulated Overhead Garage doors are a nominal 24 gauge raised short panel steel garage door with torsion springs and 12" radius track system.  Some options include: Upgrade and custom colors, windows and panel design.

Insulated Overhead Garage doors are R-6.7rated polystyrene insulation, which is bonded between a 26-gauge substrate, with torsion springs and a 12" radius track system.  Some options include: Upgrade and custom colors, windows, panel design, and higher insulation values.

Roof-to-eave detail allows roof steel to extend beyond the eave wall approximately 6". 

Roof-to-GABLE DETAIL includes steel corner trim to finish off the transition from the roof steel to the wall steel.

Upgraded Roof to eave or gable detail, called Boxed Overhang typically extend 12" to 24" out from the building walls and are enclosed with color matched metal soffit and fascia.  Boxed overhangs can be added to one or more walls as aesthetically desired.  (Our standard non-boxed building design creates a fully ventilated structure making boxed overhangs an option, not a necessity.)

Wainscoting is an aesthetic upgrade that allows the lower portion of the building walls to be a different accent color. Wainscoting can be applied to one or more walls and can help reduce the cost of repairs to damaged wall steel.

Sliding doors are custom designed to the exact door dimensions you need. When installed on the gable end, sliding door height can equal the ceiling height of the building. This means you can get a taller door with sliding doors than you can with overhead doors.  (Overhead doors typically require 16" of headroom clearance between the top door and the ceiling.)

Factory built pre-assembled Dutch Doors are a two-piece (upper and lower) door system most commonly used in equestrian buildings.  29 gauge steel door panels and 16 gauge steel frames are available in 15 popular colors.

Roof Cupolas with color matched steel walls and roof are available in 24", 36", and 48" sizes.  Cupolas include your choice of 10 different weather vanes.

Interior finish packages includes wall and ceiling insulation, vapor retarded, and liner steel.
