VersaTube Swaging
If you’re like a lot of VersaTube customers, you’ve probably been kicking around the idea of a steel building for quite some time. Loafing shed? Garage? Walkway? Whatever you’re considering, you’ve been weighing your options, and maybe even trying to decide between a traditional wood frame construction and a more modern steel design.
But now that you’ve done your research, you have decided that VersaTube is for you. Maybe it’s the customizable designs, or maybe it’s the typically quick delivery process straight to your building site that helped you make up your mind. Either way, you’ve made your decision and now you’re ready to begin construction. And with VersaTube, you know that process will be fast and painless. Between you and a friend or two (or a contractor, if you choose to go that route), your new building will be up in just a couple of days. You can thank swaging for that.

Swaging is what allows us to create our Slip-Fit connections - the key to building a strong steel building, fast. We use patented machines to shape our square and rectangular heavy-gauge American steel tubing into the specifications required for your building.
Our Slip-Fit connection system allows each steel frame component to easily slip into the other. During construction, you then secure each slip joint with self-tapping screws. It forms a strong joint you can rely on, creating a building that’s engineered to withstand the wind and snow loads specific to your zip code.
At VersaTube, it’s all about harnessing the power of engineering, and putting it to work for you. We put the time into crafting your components, so you can spend less time on assembly. So whether you’ve selected an ATV shelter, a small shed or a large barn, it’s still just that simple.
