Our standard DIY loafing shed frame kit provides premium shelter protection for your animals and livestock by combining the desired strength and durability of steel with the added resistance to fire, termites, weathering and rot – and it’s easy to haul to your build site.
The Summit style frame system includes roof purlins and side girts that allow the application of vertical sheet metal panels or plywood/OSB for other other roofing or siding materials. And in-the-field assembly time is drastically reduced with our pre-cut frame components and patented Slip-Fit frame connections.
Made in USA With The Highest Quality Materials.
American Steel
We use heavy duty galvanized American steel tubing that beats the nongalvanized imported steel.
Triple Coat Protection
We use a triple layer of corrosion protection that is rust resistant and provides a smooth product unmatched in strength and durability.
Smooth Mandrel Bend
We use a proprietary mandrel bending system for a cleaner look and a stronger bend transition. No crush bending is used.
29 Gauge American Sheet Metal
We use 29 gauge sheet metal panels made in America with a standard 5-rib profile and 36" width.
20 Year Frame Warranty
Our frames are made with quality materials backed by the VersaTube Product Pledge and a 20 year frame warranty.
Made in the USA.
We manufacture all DIY frame kits in the USA using American sourced materials. We're proud to support American workers and our local economies.
Designed for Do-It-Yourself Builders
Pre-Engineered Complete DIY Kit in Two Shipments
We ship the frame components, hardware, and instructions. Our sheet metal suppliers directly ship the panels and trim.
Slip-Fit Connections
Our patented pre-cut easy-to-handle Slip-Fit frame connections reduce assembly time. No insert tubes and extra screws are required.
Assemble with Common Household Tools
Our DIY kits can be assembled with common household tools and do not require the renting of special tools or equipment.
Anchoring Options
Our DIY kits can be anchored to almost any level surface from ground, gravel, asphalt or boat docks to concrete slab, footings, curb sections or piers to on top of stem or retaining walls to raise the structure.

Click here (link) to download the Warranty & Product Pledge.
-
Does the price include shipping?
-
All VersaTube.com standard kits and design your own products include curbside delivery to your residence or place of business. Frame kits and sheet metal are shipped separately. Select VersaTube.com Design Your Own products may have a premium delivery available in your area for an additional fee. Premium delivery includes the offloading of the frame kit by a driver operating a forklift. Frame kits and sheet metal are shipped separately. All VersaTube.com accessory orders are shipped via standard ground or LTL (less than truckload) with shipping paid for by the customer.
-
How are your structures anchored to the ground or concrete?
-
Ground anchoring requires VersaTube rebar anchors centered in post holes and backfilled with concrete. Anchoring to a concrete slab or concrete footing requires concrete wedge anchor bolts. Anchors are provided with each building and carport kit. You will make your selection prior to checkout.
-
How long does it take to assembly a building kit?
-
With the assistance of friends and family members, most carport units can be assembled in one day – two days at the most (for larger carports). For smaller buildings and garages, once your site preparation is completed, you should be able to install the frame in one day and the sheet metal the next day. Larger buildings and garages may require more days depending on the available help you have, cooperating weather, and your own personal schedule.
-
Do you offer additional truss bracing or sheet metal gauges?
-
Additional interior truss bracing and 26 gauge sheet metal are available options if you are building in a higher snow load and/or wind load area and local code requirements must be achieved. Call a VersaTube Sales Engineer (1-800-810-2993) with your load requirements and questions.
-
Do you offer additional sizing and configurations?
-
Absolutely! Our most popular standard buildings and carports are available here online. But if you have a need for a special size or custom configuration, our Sales Engineers are ready to work with you to design an engineered DIY solution that meets your snow/wind load and local code requirements. Call 1-800-810-2993 and let us help you!
-
Can VersaTube structures be modified at a later date?
-
Our Slip-Fit frame connection design will allow you to easily add additional length to your existing structure by adding base rails and truss sections. Once your building or carport is assembled with sheet metal roof and siding panels installed, it may be a bit of a challenge to modify the width and the height of your unit.
