Arch steel buildings and discovering more
Before commencing construction, be sure that your chosen spot is level and clear of any tree roots, stones or grassy spots that could affect the flooring. 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.
