Our work can be thought of as going the extra mile. We use only top grade, domestic materials for our jobs as well as heavier, thicker steel. You won't find a thin purlin endwall in our buildings. We stick to Beefy I-Beams and tubing for our uprights. Some companies use oil-field pipe as thier main building material. Well...oil-field pipe is made for drilling and not for structural building supports. In the end though, its up to You the customer. All of our wall and roof perlins will be at a minimum thickness of 14 gauge, and with us building near the coast, 12 gauge will also be used, especially for door frames. Some of our competitors cut corners and costs by using a thinner metal of 16 gauge. We like our projects to stand firm and strong for years to come.
