If you live in an area that’s prone to wildfires, you know how quickly things can change when the heat hits. One day it’s calm, and the next, your whole area is under a fire warning. That’s why it’s important to think about what kind of building you’re putting on your property. Whether it’s a home, garage, shop, or barn, what you build matters.
At Gable Steel, we believe your building should help protect you, not put you at more risk. That’s why more people are choosing our steel buildings for peace of mind in unexpected events.
Fires Are Getting Worse Each Year
Wildfire season seems to get longer and more intense. Dry grass, high winds, and hot temperatures are a dangerous combo, especially if your building is made from wood or other materials that can easily combust.
Why Steel Makes a Big Difference
Steel doesn’t burn like wood. That alone makes it a preferred choice in a fire zone. Here’s why people are choosing steel buildings:
Insurance companies may offer better rates for non-combustible materials.
Your valuables are better protected inside a steel building.
What We Do To Ensure Your Fire-Safe
WMP-VRR+ vinyl-backed fiberglass batt insulation- This is a high-performance option that’s fire-retardant and moisture-resistant. It doesn’t just help with climate control inside your building, it adds an extra layer of protection against heat and flames.
We don’t use ordinary metal. Our roof is made from Galvalume, while our wall panels are coated with silicone polyester. It’s built to resist high heat, rust, and corrosion, even in extreme wildfire conditions. Plus, it reflects sunlight and helps keep your building cooler in hot weather.
All-Steel Framing, Down to the Trim. Many builders cut corners with wood trim or partial wood framing. Not us.
Gable Steel buildings are 100% American steel, including the trim, so you won’t have any exposed flammable materials around your structure.

Other Preventative Measures to Consider

Use metal or fire-rated doors and windows.
Avoid adding wood decks or fences right up against the building.
