Vertical Roof

Large buildings of this magnitude come with a vertical roof only, and it is very intentional. Only vertical roofs can take the weight and loads that come with such large spans while contributing to the overall sturdiness of the building. By laying out the roofing panels vertically, we allow snow, leaves, and debris to slide right off instead of accumulating and weighing down on the roof.

Besides, vertical roofs come with extra hat channels that enhance the sturdiness of the structure. The vertical roofs on our 52’-60’ Wide Prefab Buildings can withstand heavy snow loads, high wind speeds, and heavy rains without compromising the safety of your things.

12- and 14-Gauge Tubing

For the frame, you can pick between 12-gauge and 14-gauge. 12-gauge is thicker and stronger. It is the most suitable to handle dynamic and heavy loads. At such large spans, we strongly advise you to consider 12-gauge tubing. 12-gauge frames are the kind we use on our certified steel structures.

26- and 29-Gauge Sheeting

The roofing panels come with a 26-gauge or 29-gauge thickness. 29-gauge is less thick and can only handle light loads. You can go with 29-gauge to cut on costs and only if you don’t expect much wind and snow loads in your area. Otherwise, 26-gauge goes much better with a 52’-60’ Wide Steel Building. It is stronger and resists denting much better.

Doors

How many and what type of doors would you like? You can have roll-up doors, walk-in doors, or a mix of both according to your specific needs. Roll-up doors are durable, space-saving, secure, and cost-effective. They are also great for large entrances/exits.

On the other hand, you might want to consider walk-in doors where there’s significant human traffic or if you don’t need a wide opening. Walk-in doors are much easier to repeatedly open and close when you have people going in out of the building all the time.

Windows

Add some authentic natural lighting to your building with windows. You could go with fixed windows, sliding windows, or any other that suits your taste. We can install windows on any side of the building, any height, and any position (right, left, or center).

If you need your windows at an exact location, be sure to consult your design specialist in advance to arrange for proper placement of the legs. Cutting through the legs to create space for windows could compromise the structure as well as your warranty.

Frame-Outs

You are going to need this for your window and door installations. As the name suggests, they form a frame around the windows and doors. Frame-outs act as an interface between the walls and the windows or doors. They allow for a smooth transition, resulting in the precise and firm placement of your doors and windows. These, too, can be custom-painted with the color of your choice.

Gables

The gable style features two sloping roof sides that meet at the top to form a ridge. They are the triangular-shaped roofs you see on most buildings. The part of the building with that triangular shape is the gable end, while the other side is the eave. The gable style is simple but effective. Their original roofline makes them perfect for a variety of uses such as garages, workshops, warehouses, self-storage units, industrial and commercial facilities, and so much more!

Anchors

The final pieces of the puzzle when installing your metal building are the anchors. You want to be sure that everything is correctly anchored to the ground so that your structure can withstand even the fiercest winds. Can you imagine how it would feel if you got everything but the anchors right and woke up to find your building upside down?

• Rebar anchors are the most basic of all anchors. They are only suitable for installations on soft or hard ground surfaces in areas that don’t experience strong winds. Rebar anchors do not offer the best protection, and especially not for a 52’-60’ Wide Custom Building. Moreover, they do not come with a wind warranty. You might want to consider other types of anchors on this list for better protection.
• Mobile home anchors: again, this is for ground installations and work quite well on both loose and hard surfaces. Mobile home anchors are much better than rebar anchors. They are screwed into the ground and latched onto the base rails to secure the whole building. This is the type of anchor you want when installing on the ground. They even come with a wind warranty.
• Concrete anchors: when installing on concrete slabs, this anchor is precisely what you need. They go into holes drilled on the slab and expand once fastened, locking into the hole. Concrete anchors are highly effective. They hold up well under strong winds and come with a warranty to prove the point.
• Asphalt anchors: concrete anchors are great, and they have a simple mechanism that provides adequate protection. However, they can’t be used on asphalt foundations as they could cause cracking. For your asphalt installation, you want specialized anchors that work hand in hand with grout. The grout goes into a hole drilled on the foundation, and before it cures, we insert the anchor. Curing occurs in just about 15 minutes, although it takes longer to reach maximum strength.

Certification

A certified 52’-60’ Wide Metal Building meets your local wind and snow loads minimum requirements. It is made of durable 12-gauge steel and has additional bracings as well as supports. Certified metal buildings offer guaranteed protection.

They are also much more trustworthy as they come with all the relevant documentation, to help you pass building inspection. Not to forget, they also carry better warranties than non-certified ones. You can choose to go certified for exceptional safety and peace of mind, even when there are no certified building regulations in your state.
