You may be asking yourself, “Why should I buy one of these metal buildings? What makes them so special?” Well, allow us to give you some insight as to why these are the best solution you could find on the market today.
Easy to Install – Our pre-engineered units will arrive to your install site ready for assembly. With the right motivation and hard work, they can be completed within just two to thirty days! That’s crazy compared to several months of a traditional wooden building being assembled.
Low Construction Cost – The steel components that are used for these structures are designed to easily fit together. They are cut and prepped in a manufacturing facility, significantly reducing the cost of assembly. And due to being virtually maintenance free, you won’t have to worry about spending extensive amounts of money on labor or maintenance.
Energy-Efficient – Precise engineering, you can be assured that the doors and windows will close tightly, reducing the escape of warm and cold air. And if we hadn’t mentioned it already, these metal buildings are also almost 100% recyclable! So, when they’ve reached the end of their lifespan, they won’t waste away in a dump, they can be reused for a variety of purposes.
Durable – Each of our prefab steel buildings are made with solid steel components, guaranteeing their overall strength, durability, and longevity. They are built specifically to stand strong against extreme weather conditions.
One of the most important aspects of your steel building is its roof. Not only does the roofing system complete the structure, but it provides the contents of the unit with exceptional protection year-round. We have three available roofing options here at Union Steel Structures, more information for each style listed below.
A regular roof is the most economical style offered in the metal building industry. They are designed and installed with rounded edges and horizontal panels that run from end of the structure to the other. These simple roof styles are best suited for areas that do not typically experience high winds or heavy precipitation. Their biggest advantage is having an affordable price tag.
Out of the three roof styles we have here at Union Steel Structures, the vertical system is the most efficient, durable, and longest lasting. Its vertically aligned paneling and additional framing pieces allow it to withstand much harsher weather conditions. While it is built for all climate types, it is best suited for areas that receive extreme weather. It is also required for structures longer than 31’.
A slight upgrade from regular roofs, our A-frame horizontal roofing systems are also installed with horizontal panels. However, their more complex designs make them a wonderful option for buildings that will be installed in warmer areas that may receive some high winds, but light precipitation. Their primary advantage is the ability to own an A-frame style structure without the cost of a vertical roof.

Build Over Fee: If there is an immovable object such as a RV or Camper which contractors must build over, the customer will be charged a building over fee which is determined by the length and height of the building.
Asphalt Anchors: Are used in asphalt installations only and may be or may not be included with the building. They have 4 fins that when drove into the ground hold the anchor in like hooks keeping the building secure during high winds.
Base Rails: The square tubing along the base of a building onto which the legs are attached.
Bow: The bow is a single piece square tubing bent to make the roofing member of the building.
Concrete Anchors: Sometimes referred to as wedge anchors, installers drill into the concrete and insert this anchor to fasten the building very securely to the concrete pad.
Braces: Braces are U-Shaped channels that are used to assist in reinforcing the structure of the building. All of our buildings come standard with some type of bracing, from 4 braces up to one each leg, depending on the type of building purchased. For those buildings in which the bracing is an optional feature we recommend 2’ braces on buildings 8’ or shorter and 3’ braces on buildings 9’ or taller.
Gabel Ends: A steel panel, usually installed horizontally, with the same curve as the bow of the building. They can be installed in either end of the building, and they extend from the top of the legs up. Gable ends can be installed vertically at an additional cost.

Lag Bolts: Lag bolts are used to secure the building, in the place of rebar or concrete anchors, when installing on a wood platform. Should lag bolts be needed, they must be supplied by the customer. The minimum size required for install is .5 in. in diameter by 4.5 in. long.
