Framing Systems

Clearspan - Rigid Frame, Gable (RCG) This tapered member frame is typically used in clearspan situations from 40 feet to 150 feet. It can be either gable or single slope. Common roof slopes of 1/4 to 4 in 12 are offered. When large clearspan areas are required for special industrial and commercial projects, the Clearspan frame type is typically the economical choice. The Clearspan can be used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists.
	Clearspan - Rigid Frame, Single Slope (RCS) This tapered member frame is typically used in clearspan situations from 40 feet to 150 feet. Common roof slopes of 1/4 to 4 in 12 are offered. When large clearspan areas are required for special industrial and commercial projects, the Clearspan frame Clearspan Rigid Frame type is typically the economical choice. A single slope rigid frame is commonly used on retail centers or as a creative way of adding to an existing structure. The Clearspan can be used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists.
Modular - Rigid Frame, Gable (RMG) The solid web rigid frame with interior columns provides multiple spans on wider buildings. It can be either gable or single slope. This frame type is economical with individual spans of 40 feet to 80 feet and building widths from 80 feet to 300 feet plus. Roof slopes are 1/4 to 1 in 12. The Modular frame can be used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists.
	Lean-to (LCS) The Lean-to frame joins to and is supported by a main building frame. Common spans are 20 feet to 60 feet. The lean-to differs from the single slope in that it must be supported on the high side by an adjoining building column.
Tapered Beam (TCG) This straight column rigid frame is designed for maximum efficiency of interior space. It is suitable for all types of small buildings that require clearspans from 20 feet to 60 feet. Roof slopes of 1/4 to 1 in 12 are available. The Tapered Beam frame is ideal for partitioning interior bays and small crane support systems.

The computer designed building system simplifies construction and significantly reduces erection time. This means lower "in place costs" as well as quicker occupancy of the building.

Energy Efficient - Our steel building system is adaptable to a number of energy efficient insulation systems, from basic fiberglass to rigid board. Better insulation systems mean your energy bills become easier to manage. By specifying a low profile roof, you can eliminate unnecessary head room to heat and cool.

Flexible - Every metal building is custom-designed and fabricated to meet the functional requirements of your business. This means you suffer no price penalty.

Attractive - Steel buildings can be designed with a range of covering systems such as glass, brick, or block. And, of course, our attractive wall systems are available in a number of architecturally pleasing colors.

Serviceability - With a background in heavy manufacturing and steel producing facilities, you can depend upon us for a building system that meets your expectations.
