Metal building kits are wonderfully easy to assemble, and with several designs to choose from, adaptable to just about any use. And whats not to like about metal building kits. Maintenance free and built to last, metal building kits are made from materials strong enough to resist hurricanes and earthquakes, if it comes to that. Lets look at the different models to see which one suits you best.
P series metal building kits give you a traditional straight sidewall and arched roof style that optimizes storage space with room enough for a backyard garage or workshop. If youre feeling creative, you could even turn your P series metal building kit into a guest cottage customized to match the exterior of your home. The A series of metal building kits follows the same basic engineering design as the P series, with the exception of a 4 to 12 pitch roof for superior protection from the elements in high wind and snow areas.
The classic Q series metal building kits are modeled after the iconic Quonset huts of the World War II era. Their arched roof to ground design makes the Q series one of the strongest structures in architecture and effortlessly protects livestock, farm equipment, hay, grain and crops from the worst of Mother Nature. Finally, S series metal building kits, with high, straight sidewalls and rounded roof, offers 100 percent usable space for purposes as diverse as light industrial and manufacturing use, fire stations, airport fueling stations and RV storage.
Metal building kits come with easy to read instructions that make assembly a snap. You should first make sure that the area you have chosen for your building is of a level grade and cleared of any tree roots, stones or grassy spots that could affect the lay of the flooring materials. Next, either pour a full concrete floor or individual square concrete pads where you plan to put your steel frame columns. Embed anchor bolts into the concrete pads, erect the columns into the anchor bolts after the concrete has dried, then raise and bolt the rafters to the columns. Your next step is to attach the roof purlins, wall girts and cable bracing to the roof and walls.
Should you intend to insulate your metal building, now would be the time to put your insulation into place, before attaching metal sheeting to your walls and roof. Finally, customize your metal building kit with doors, windows and metal trim.
