A Look at Steel Building Kits
Steel building kits are a comprehensive set of all the parts
required to assemble a steel building. They contain everything
right from pre-drilled holes to the bolts for joining the
individual components together. These components are designed
using advanced technologies, with astounding accuracy. As 70% of
steel buildings are constructed at the manufacturing site
itself, all that is required is the assembly of the various
parts in the kit through a step-by-step process. When the whole
steel building kit is from an authorized manufacturer, the
structural integrity of the components can be guaranteed. Steel
building kits are personalized as per the specific requirements
of the purchaser; hence all the options and codes need to be
considered for accurate building specification.
Steel building kits are designed to be so simple that even
customers themselves can erect the buildings. Most steel
buildings have common components, such as arched panels. These
are single sheet steel panels that can be raised to form the
roof as well as the two parallel walls of the building. The
length of the building can be extended, simply by adding more
arches. Base connectors are used to attach arches and end wall
panels to the concrete foundation using anchor bolts.
Steel building kits come with a manual that provides a list of
all of the components included and a step-by-step analysis of
assembling the structure, and with standard sized size bolts for
all connections, for easier construction. They also have
polyethylene washers for sealing the bolt connections.
Doors are generally pre-drilled to fit into the framed openings
on the end wall panels. They come in a wide range of sizes and
shapes. End wall panels are the walls that fit on either end of
the structure. They are designed to simply bolt onto the base
connector and the end arch panel. Steel-framed openings are
installed into the end walls for doors and windows.
Trim kits are used to cover any exposed edges and thus give a
clean finish to the wall. Vents are installed into the end walls
or roof for allowing the air in the building to circulate and
thus prevent excessive dampness due to air condensation.
Steel building kits offer many affordable and durable options,
and a degree of accuracy such that a do-it-yourself customer can
reasonably erect the building without professional help.
