Often times when people hear steel building they think of a big commercial looking box. The versatility of steel construction, however, allows for so much more.
The starting place is Roof Pitch, the difference between a 1:12 and 4:12 creates a distinctively different appearance.

Adding Lean-To configurations are another styling option for your Steel Building. Lean-To’s can be open or enclosed, continue along the existing roof line or stepped down, supported or freestanding.

Another popular design style is the Raised Center Aisle frame work. Commonly called Western Style, or Monitor Style the difference between this structure type and a building with (2) stepped down enclosed Lean-To’s is the completely clear-span entire. Many customers opt to place a row of either windows or wall-lites into the sheeted space between the raised aisle and the Lean-To’s allowing for a flood of natural light to illuminate the building.
