Arch Steel Buildings

Arch steel buildings, a.k.a. Quonset huts are semi-circular structures made out of steel that is generally galvanized or Galvalume^TM. These structures consist of steel arches that are repeated throughout the entire building. The best thing about this is that arches come precut and drilled; the builder only has to assemble the pieces in the simplest way possible by bolting them together. The interior is clear span and open for any application. Right now, there are 6 designs of such buildings available.

The arch style buildings have been incredibly popular in recent decades. They are often used for:

• garages
• sheds
• livestock shelters
• carports
• agricultural and farm buildings
• aircraft hangars
• aviation facilities
• commercial facilities
• residential barndominiums
• storage
• workshops
• container covers
• roofing systems
• even humongous industrial warehouses

Quonsets are engineered and factory manufactuered specifically for your needs. Because of this, they can be made in an infinite number of sizes. There are some standards though which help keep pricing down:

• Width – Building widths typically start at 16 feet wide and go up to around 150ft, depending on the load requirements for that location. There are some standard widths, 20ft, 25ft, 30ft, 40ft etc.
• Length – The length of your building is basically infinite since you can always add on additional arches. Each arch is 2 feet wide so lengths typically start at around 20ft and go up in increments of 2.
• Height – Heights generally start at 10ft and go up in increments of 2 ft. 12ft is a common height for residential use buildings.

Whatever size you require, Price Buildings can help you find the building you want.

Durable:

They are made of steel, so why won’t they be durable? They will last for a long time without needing high maintenance or upkeep.

Low Maintenance:

Not much maintenance is required for these buildings; to be honest; there is no need for frequent repair, paint, or even replacement of parts.

No Rotting Or Rusting:

Wooden buildings are susceptible to rotting. No matter how good it is, it will rot after some time. But that is not a problem with arch steel buildings. At the same time, it will also not rust. The reason for that? The steel consists of different metals that are brought and combined to bring out the individual materials characteristic, and one of them is making it rust resistant.

Safe:

Arch steel buildings or Quonset huts are much safer than typical wooden structures. They do not rot, rust, burn in fire, and are strong enough to withstand high amounts of pressure and force, be it from an object or a living being. There is also no fear of critters making their home in the building because it is sealed properly.

Long-Lasting:

Of course, an infrastructure that does not rot, rust, and no high maintenance will last for a long time, won't it? The wooden building will last only last for 15 to 25 years even if you are careful, but steel will last for life.

Versatile And Customizable:

Steel and metal buildings give you a lot of freedom to customize the infrastructure, and Quonset buildings are no different.

No limit In Size:

The steel arch buildings have no limit on length. They can be expended to virtually unlimited length, which comes in handy when you need more space, and rather soon.

Easy To Build:

Like we said earlier, the arches are precut and drilled at the factory where they are manufactured and don't need an extreme amount of effort or even knowledge to assemble that. This means that even nonprofessionals can handle the construction, which opens a lot of doors for many people who prefer to get things done on their own.

Affordable:

Arch steel buildings are very affordable. The foundation does not need many materials because steel does not require the framing that wood does, and it is very light, so it also does not need much settling. So a less expensive foundation coupled with a low-cost building itself sweetens the deal.

Environment Friendly:

At this point, we don’t think we need to explain how Quonset buildings are eco-friendly, much more than other types of buildings.

Time-Saving:

And most important, it does not take much time to make an arch steel building or a Quonset hut due.

Building one of these structures is actually far easier than you may think. They are a prefabricated type of building which means that all of the arch panels are pre-cut and drilled at the factory.

While the factory is creating the arch panels, you can pour a concrete foundation, or prepare your mounting system (some people choose railway ties, some shipping containers, be sure to ask your representative about your intended foundation).

Once the building is delivered, and your foundation poured, essentially all you need to do is bolt the panels together into arches, then bolt each arch together to form the self-supporting shell.
