Steel Buildings

[Kmp259]

Anyone know of any steel buildings that use 18 gauge roof/ 18 gauge side walls....most want to use 22gauge and I like to use thicker metal so we can use nut-serts to attach various banners or pictures.....

Lots and lots are available for a price.

Other manufacturers are similar. Everything will cost more, including shipping, handling and labor.

Welcome to Garage Journal! Would not most mfg. upgrade to a thicker metal if that's what you wanted?

They seem to focus on the thinner metals....26/24/22 gauge.....not sure why.....

KMP: if you can't find thick enough metal or at the right price the wood construction behind the metal on pole buildings might be an option.

Good idea.... need to look into that.... I've contacted many steel building companies and they all seem to be in a niche market and don't like to deviate from the norm....

I sell and erect metal buildings and I can't think of a good reason to spend the extra money to sheet the whole building just to mount some signs. You might look into other kinds of inserts. We mount signs on buildings all the time and usually thru bolt them.
