Metal Buildings

It’s that time of year when hurricanes can roar through parts of America, ripping up buildings and and even worse - destroying lives.

If you live in a hurricane prone area you know how important it is for structures to be designed and fortified to resist hurricane damage - not only for the safety of the building, but for your own safety as well.

High quality, American manufactured steel buildings made with American steel are the safe, cost effective choice for builders in any area susceptible to extreme weather conditions.

VersaTube Building Systems kits (even our standard kits) are engineered to exceed our customer’s local building codes - that goes for hurricane country codes too.

Live in Dade county, Florida or some place with similar weather patterns? Purchase with confidence, knowing that your new steel building has been engineered to stand up and take the extreme force of hurricane winds.

If you live in a high wind or snow load area, your VersaTube Building System may be designed with some, or all, of the following:

• More substantial interior truss bracing

• Added knee braces

• Closer on-center truss spacing

• Base post reinforcements

• Additional anchoring points

• Thicker and additional sheet metal

• Vertically applied roof panels

VersaTube steel buildings outperform wood framed buildings in the wake of hurricane storms. Should there be flooding, our steel building system components won’t degrade and rot. God forbid if you ever have to evacuate, chances are, you’ll return to find your steel building intact. Cleaning up a damaged steel building is a lot easier on the pocket book than completely rebuilding. For this reason, you’ll find that insurance premiums for steel buildings are cheaper than the premiums for wood framed structures.
