Pole Barn Buildings vs. Metal Buildings

Our business is saving you money on metal buildings and steel buildings. We will help you find the metal building or steel building that you need and save you money at the same time.

Pole Barns

Pole Barns offer no resistance to flood and frost heaving as they are set directly into the earth. Pressure treated wood, which is used for pole barns, is prone to warping and shrinking. It is not recommended for permanent installations. Pole barns require long-term maintenance. As the foundation frame members shift they must be straightened every 5 to 7 years, averaging $2,500 in maintenance costs. Pole barns intended for livestock must avoid copper sulfate treated wood poles as wood purlins and grits are poisonous and unsanitary.

Pole barns have a Class A fire rating, which is the lowest resistance to fire, and are not for public use. When you think about the many hours of labor spent on the construction of a pole barn, consider each long-term step of pole barn maintenance. Tedious sorting, fitting, and cutting of materials, complex assembly, regular reattachment and paintings, as well as the resheeting every 7 to 10 years. Pole barns are also difficult to obtain permits for and are prohibited in many zoning districts.

Steel Buildings & Metal Buildings

Steel and metal buildings bolt to a solid concrete foundation. A metal sheeting notch ensures the building will be frost and flood proof. Steel is sanitary and nonpoisonous for livestock and does not warp. Property insurance on a steel or metal building is generally 30% lower than conventional construction projects. Once a steel or metal building is constructed you do not have to think about it for the next 20 years.

Steel and metal buildings usually rate a Class C fire rating and are suitable in any zoning district. Easily specified to meet or exceed the most strict earthquake codes or any other commercial codes in America, a steel or metal building is a worry-free property investment. All Steel Corp brings you quality steel and metal buildings at closeout and liquidation prices.

Your Metal Building can be Aesthetically Pleasing

Any metal building or steel building can be made to look aesthetically pleasing by combining the metal building with other conventional building materials. Steel and metal buildings today can easily be made to look like they are not a made of metal, while also providing all the benefits of a steel or metal building.

Benefits of a Metal Building

Today's metal buildings resist corrosion and wear much better than buildings constructed with any other available building material.
Metal buildings will also hold up to harsh weather and will not warp.
The materials used in the construction of a metal building can be recycled if the building is scrapped.
Metal buildings can be erected much quicker than other types of buildings. This will save you money in construction costs.
Metal buildings can be made to look like they are not even metal buildings, while retaining the benefits of metal buildings.
The design and strength of metal buildings allow you to have large interior spaces with no load bearing walls or columns inside.
Metal buildings are built to last and will provide more strength and longevity than most other building types.
