Hi guys,

Forgive me if this has been covered but I tried a search and went through ~ 10 pages of posts and nothing jumped out at me.

I am planning to build a metal span style of building at my cabin ~ 2 hrs from my house in the AZ Mountains (Navajo County for those who know AZ). I am planning to build something similar to a U.S. Buildings "A" model (see pics below I found online). I plan a 30' wide building between 40'-60' long (depending on cost).

Which manufacturers have a good reputation here and who should I steer clear of? I am just beginning my research and have never built one before. I would like to erect it myself on a pad that I will have poured ahead of time.

Thanks for any advice you can pass my way,

Tom

Those buildings are virtually all "made" in one or two different factories, and the companies you are dealing with are brokers or dealers and nothing more.

I doubt the quality varies significantly from one to the other, it depends more on how helpful and honest the dealer is.

Here is one thread about erecting such a building.

Hello there,

I apologize for the shameful product plug.

As you can see by the attached pictures below that a great solution for an entry door on this type of building is our WalkThru Garage Door.
