Metal buildings

Hurricane Steel Buildings® are rigid frame I-beam metal building systems consisting of riding frame rafters - primary frames (structural steel members), secondary purlin members for the roof and girt members to support the walls (cold-formed steel & steel joists), and metal roof and wall cladding systems.

There are four types of metal buildings but the I-Beam Rigid Frame metal buildings and the Quonset Hut and the kits are the most sturdy. The I frame is the most sturdy and adaptable of our four systems. Quonset huts are more popular in rural settings with the agriculture and farming industries. Rigid frame metal buildings are more aesthetically pleasing and just as strong and long lasting. The open clear span design allows more interior space with higher walls and the ability to customize the interior.

• Steel Arch Quonset Style

• Tubular framed
• Open Web Truss or various other metal steel frames

The word “rigid” frame metal buildings comes from the beam to column connection which is one solid piece without the need for braces. The frame transmits beam shear force into the columns without extra support systems to resist the lateral loads.

Metal buildings that use a rigid frame design are also superior to post and beam buildings.Vertical load on rigid frame structures are also picked up by the beams and transferred through the columns to the ground. The joints are strongly connected, preventing free rotation from occurring at the beams ends.

Rigid frame construction is engineered to decrease deflections, decrease internal bending, and increase rigidity. This metal building type’s connections perform better in load reversal situations such as earthquakes.
