Metal Building Framing Types

Steelbuilding.com has several different framing options for use with our pre engineered metal building systems. While the only framing option that our online pricing and design system supports is the popular clearspan frame, you can choose from modular frames or single slope frames by using our special quote form. Here is some information about the three popular frame types that we offer:

Clearspan Frames

Our clearspan framing option is the most popular for pre engineered metal building systems. Because it offers outstanding durability, economy, versatility, and strength, this frame type is a proven performer. This frame type is suitable for pre engineered building systems that will need a large area of unbroken space, or one that needs to be partitioned off. Metal buildings with a clearspan frame require no need for interior supports, so you have the flexibility of changing your floor plan as you see fit. Clearspan framed pre engineered metal building systems are often used for warehouses, agricultural buildings, athletic facilities, and factories.

Modular Frames

Pre engineered metal building systems that use modular frames utilize interior columns. Because metal buildings with these frames distribute the load more evenly, the cost of the frame and the foundation of extremely wide buildings is reduced. Once your building reaches 80' wide, you'll start noticing the savings. The wider your building, the more money you'll save. Modular framed pre engineered metal building systems are often used as factories and other moderate-to-extremely large structures.

Single Slope Frames

On pre engineered metal building systems that use single slope frames, the roof of the building "slopes" up from the front to the back. This is because of differing eave heights on each sidewall. While most buildings that use a single slope frame type use a ½:12 roof pitch, you can specify for a steeper pitch. Pre engineered metal building systems that use the single slope frame type are most often used as strip shopping centers, self storage franchise complexes, and office buildings.
