Whether it's a steel shelter covering vital metering equipment for pipelines or industrial complexes, or a secure covered shed for pumps and critical gauges, VersaTube has a proven solution easily configured to each specific need. Our pre-cut frame components with Slip-Fit connections greatly reduce construction time, allowing a strong and durable steel shelter to be up and working in no time. And depending on snow and wind loads for the shelter or pump house location, available options like 26-gauge sheet metal, interior truss bracing, and additional anchoring work to increase strength and performance.

26-Gauge Sheet Metal
Primary framing uses 2” x 2” square and 2” x 3” rectangular steel tubing for structures engineered up to 30’ wide and 12’ high (sidewall). 2” x 4” steel tubing is used for shelters engineered over 30’ up to 52’ wide and up to 16’ high (sidewall).
Install on ground, concrete slab or footings or piers, or any level surface per anchoring instructions. Must be installed with one end slightly raised to allow water runoff. Your choice of concrete or ground stake anchors.
Standard packages include frame system with self-drilling screws, 29-gauge sheet metal & trim package with screws, butyl caulk tape, vinyl trim, and choice of anchors.
Interior truss bracing may be required by engineering depending on the structure dimensions and your local snow and wind load requirements. Typically, 10’, 12’, 14’ and some 18’ and 20’ models do not require truss bracing. Some 18’ and 20’ and all 24’ and wider units are sold with truss bracing. Truss braces are used on all interior truss frame sections and ARE NOT REQUIRED for the front and back trusses of pump houses and metering facility shelters.
