Anyone that has significant experience with steel agricultural buildings knows how important it can be to use a high-quality steel building system. General Steel agricultural buildings have many benefits over conventional construction and other steel building systems.
Advantages of General Steel Agricultural Buildings
- General Steel agricultural buildings are more fire-resistant than pole-barns and other wood-framed structures. Since steel does not burn, it will not fuel a fire like wood. When a fire reaches inside the walls of a wood-framed building, it is almost impossible to extinguish. This can be a high-risk if you are boarding animals or storing valuable equipment in your building.
- Since steel is not effected by water, mold, mildew, termites and other wood-destroying insects, a steel agricultural building will last longer and require less maintenance than a wood-framed building. Termites account for a high percentage of property damage each year. In recent years, a new breed of termite, the Formosan termite, has been detected throughout the country. These termites destroy wood faster and grow larger colonies than any other known termite species. Pressure treated lumber is not immune to their attack and insurance may not cover the repairs of damage they cause. These termites are unable to cause any structural damage to General Steel agricultural buildings.
- In a General Steel Building, the door-frames are bolted steel-to-steel. This means that you can rest assured knowing that your valuable equipment will be more secure in our steel agricultural buildings.
- Our steel buildings are designed to meet and surpass your local wind requirements. Because of the design of the system, it is more resistant to damage that may be caused as a result of high winds or other adverse weather conditions.
- Many agricultural building users want to achieve a specific look for their new building. The exterior of the building may be enhanced using a variety of finishing materials in order to match the look of existing buildings or meet local zoning requirements.
- Our agricultural buildings are pre-welded, pre-drilled and pre-punched at the plant. These pre-engineered structures are designed for fast and simple erection. Often, people erect smaller buildings themselves, without the help from a local contractor. General Steel can provide a list of contractors for most areas who are able to erect our buildings.
- Our steel buildings have proven to save up to half the cost of similar structures that are built using traditional construction methods.
General Steel Agricultural Building Quality
Currently, there are various different grades of steel used by steel building manufacturers. Some companies purchase low-grade materials and hardware and use cheaper quality components. After a short period of time, this low-grade steel can begin to change shape and lose it's weather-tight seal, which leads to other serious problems and maintenance issues.
At General Steel, we use a high-grade of steel which provides straight walls, tight connections, and increased durability. These buildings are designed to last and have one of the best guarantees in the industry. Your steel agricultural building can be virtually maintenance free with a high-quality building system from General Steel.
