An auto service center built with steel offers the perfect combination of open workspace and professional curb appeal. These buildings typically feature multiple drive-through bays with overhead doors, allowing technicians to work on several vehicles simultaneously. The clear-span design eliminates interior columns that could obstruct movement allowing room for car lifts , while the steel structure can be designed to support heavy-duty equipment like cranes. Add insulation and climate control for year-round comfort.

For industrial operations requiring overhead cranes, a pre-engineered steel building offers the structural integrity needed to support heavy loads. These larger buildings can span 100 feet or more while supporting crane systems that move materials throughout the facility. The building system can be engineered to accommodate your specific equipment requirements and meet local building codes.

• Clear spans of 100 feet or more
• Structural support for overhead crane systems
• High sidewalls for equipment clearance
• Large bay doors for material transport

Farmers and ranchers need protected space for tractors, combines, and implements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. A steel equipment barn provides shelter from the elements while offering wide door openings for easy access. The gable roof design allows for hay loft storage above the main floor, maximizing your usable square footage. Many owners choose a pole barn aesthetic with steel construction for the best of both worlds.

• Wide overhead doors for large equipment access
• Gable roof
• Clear-span interior for flexible equipment arrangement
• Pole barn aesthetic with steel durability

• Open-wall sections for warm-weather ventilation
• Enclosed panels for harsh weather protection
• Pest-resistant and fire-resistant steel construction
• Gable or single-slope roof options

Adding lean-to structures to a main barn creates additional covered space for secondary uses. One popular configuration includes lean-tos on each side of a central barn, creating distinct zones for different functions. You might use one lean-to for equipment parking, the center for hay storage, and the opposite lean-to as a workshop. This building type maximizes functionality without requiring multiple separate structures.

• Central barn with lean-tos on one or both sides
• Distinct zones for equipment, storage, and workspace
• Covered outdoor areas without full enclosure
• Flexible configurations based on property needs
• Single unified structure instead of multiple buildings
• Cost-effective way to add square footage
