Our Quonset steel buildings are crafted from robust 22-gauge steel, with the option to go even thicker, up to 15-gauge, for those needing extra durability. For structures requiring even more strength, our I-Beam and Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) options come with columns that boast a variety of yield strengths to meet diverse needs:
– A36 steel, providing a solid yield strength of 36,000 psi (250 MPa).
– A572 steel, which offers a versatile range between 42,000 and 60,000 psi (290 to 410 MPa), commonly settling at 50,000 psi (340 MPa).
– A588 steel, mirroring the yield strength characteristics of A572 steel.
– A992 steel, stepping up the game with a yield strength that spans from 50,000 to 65,000 psi (340 to 450 MPa).
To ensure these structures stand the test of time, our Quonset buildings receive a coating of Galvalume Plus™, significantly boosting their durability and making them virtually impervious to corrosion. On the other hand, our I-Beam and CFS structures are shaped through a meticulous process of hot rolling, cold rolling, or extrusion, depending on what the design dictates. This careful attention to manufacturing detail ensures that these structures are incredibly strong and highly resistant to heat and corrosion, setting a new standard for durability in steel construction.
Fabric buildings are structures made up of a fabric membrane stretched across a metal framework. They are much cheaper than steel buildings, but the fabric wears down over time, requiring frequent repairs. On the other hand, metal buildings offer security, durability, and low maintenance, ensuring peace of mind and confidence in your investment.
