Why Build With Steel?

Consider how a pre-engineered building is constructed:

• The steel columns are anchored to a concrete pad or concrete piers.
• All of the welding, drilling and cutting is done at the factory making it seamless.
• In most cases no skilled labor is needed, reducing costs by up to 50%.

What this means for your structure long term:

• Steel buildings are designed to meet or exceed your local codes and our steel buildings were still standing strong after the winds of Hurricane Katrina.

Additional advantages to consider when using steel:

• Steel buildings are maintenance free
• Energy Efficient = Lifetime Savings
• Non Combustible = Lower Insurance
• Buildings are easily expandable
• Clear span up to 300’
• Custom designs shipped as a kit

Pole Barn Disadvantages

Consider how a pole barn is constructed:

• Wooden poles are bured in the ground and then used as columns for the roof.
• The walls of pole barns are also made of wood or sometimes even tin.
• The walls are either nailed or screwed into the poles.

What this means for your structure long term:

• Since the poles have been buried in the ground, over time these poles will shift and eventually decay putting more pressure on you for maintenance & repair.

Additional issues to consider concerning pole barns:

• Screws coming loose causing leaks
• Leaks causing water damage
• Highly Combustible = High Insurance
• Termites causing structural damage
• Sagging structural components
• Not designed to expand in the future
