Frequently Asked Questions

Our smallest size is 24’x30′. We build up to 60′ free span and any length over 30′. Sidewall heights are available up to 16′. We can build any length.

If your site is not level we recommend you complete all site preparation before we arrive to erect your building.

We send posts 12″ longer than necessary. That means your ground must be within 12″ of level. We will level the building with the highest elevation. If our builders arrive to begin construction and it is determined that standard length posts cannot be used due to un-level ground, you will be charged for the delivery and added cost of longer posts. We suggest you check your building site with an instrument to determine if excavation is needed. “Eyeballing” is not a reliable method of determining grade.

The clearance on buildings up to 30′ wide will be about 8’10” before you add your floor. If you add a concrete floor the clearance will be reduced by the thickness of the floor. Buildings wider than 30′ will have less clearance. On load bearing walls, any door openings wider than 12 feet will require a larger than normal header. This header may reduce overhead clearance.

Screws are standard on all our buildings. We use painted screws to match the color of your metal and trim. Not only are screws more attractive than nails, but your building will be much stronger. Screws are applied in the flat part of the metal panels, versus nails, which are fastened into the ribs. Therefore, every sheet of metal acts as a lateral brace because there is no “give” as there is in fasteners attached through the ribs.

We do sell overhead doors on buildings erected within 100 miles of Tahlequah, OK. If your location is over 100 miles away, we recommend you use your local professional overhead door company. We can frame and finish your door openings with our attractive overhead door trim. A building with 10′ walls can accommodate an 8′ tall overhead door and a 4″ concrete floor.
