Canadian Supplied Commercial Steel Building

Global Steel Buildings Canada

Welcome to Hancock’s Timber Mart. Hancock’s is located in Forteau Labrador, the town whose name is derived from the French meaning ‘fort’ referring to the strong winds that come across the bay of this southern Labrador town. When looking for a Canadian steel building company Hancock’s partnered with Global Steel Buildings to design and erect a pre-engineered commercial steel building.

Hancock’s Timber Mart recently procured a pre-engineered steel building measuring 80 ft by 200 ft by 18 ft to meet their storage requirements. To accommodate their operations and equipment four doors were installed measuring 18 x 14, 14 x 14 and two 3 x 7. The pre-engineered steel building is the largest building in the town of Forteau.

Designed to withstand the harshest winters in Canada

Winter is the longest season in Southern Labrador, with abundant snowfall and strong winds. Global Steel Buildings designed this metal structure to withstand the high winds coming across the Atlantic Ocean. The pre-engineered building will withstand very high levels of snowfall, up to 100 lbs per square foot.

Excellent warranty and return on investment

Global Steel Buildings delivered the building including roof insulation and all doors for under $15 a square foot.  Global Steel Buildings excellent Canadian customer service team ensured that this project came with a warranty that is second to none in the industry.

This project was delivered to Labrador from Global Steel Buildings a Canadian company that designs, engineers and manufactures 100 % canadian steel buildings.

Community Centre Pre Engineered Steel Building

Community Centre for Whitesand First Nation

The Whitesand First Nation is an Ojibwa Community located in Armstrong, ON, 246 kilometers north east of the city of Thunder Bay.  When it was time to build a new Community Centre, Chief Allan Gustafson and Council had a vision for a facility which would meet the needs of the entire community.

Rengnal Construction partnered with Global Steel Buildings to deliver a new Multi-plex community centre pre-engineered steel building. Global’s quality steel pre-engineered steel buildings are built for the Canadian climate.  Global Steel Buildings engineered a structure that was functional, aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient.

Community Centre Project Design

This project involved the erection of two buildings attached to create an accessible, functional multi purpose facility to serve the community. Building A measures 53 feet wide by 86 feet long with a height at the eaves of 22 feet and is a single slope rigid frame construction.  The front side wall of building A attaches to building B which measures 82 feet wide by 69 feet long with a height of 12 feet at the eaves.  Building B is a double slope rigid frame construction.

Both buildings are clear span design, fabricated of galvalume roof sheeting and 24 gauge colored wall sheeting and feature multiple main doors and thermal windows.

The Whitesands Community Centre is a 10,000 square foot building which was can withstand huge snow loads, an important factor for all construction in Northern Ontario.  Designed for fire prevention, the Whitesands Community Centre has a fire wall construction and Roxul insulation which substantially reduces operating and insurance expenses.

Looking for a solution which was cost-effective, pre-engineered steel was the natural choice. Pre-engineered steel buildings can be built 30% to 50% faster than buildings using more traditional materials and at a substantially lower cost.  The clear span design allowed for the multi-purpose use of the building which houses a gym and recreational facility, kitchen, health and community programs,  career training centre, educational and meeting facilities.

Steel offers multiple benefits including cost, design and energy efficiency, and its impact on the environment is minimal, which was an important deciding factor for the Whitesand First Nation.

Clear span 100% usable space! Lazy Diamond Farm

Clear span Steel Agricultural Building

Lazy Diamond Farms’ operations are focused on grain and oil seed production. Located in Blaine Lake Saskatchewan and originally founded in 1905, which was seven years before the town of Blaine Lake was incorporated. Lazy Diamond is a productive family farm with national distribution.

In 2016 Gerald Dagenais was looking to upgrade his facility. He turned to Global Steel Buildings to design and deliver a high quality and durable pre-engineered steel building for his operation. A quick return on investment was important to Dagenais, interrupting his operations for any length of time was not an option. A clear span steel agricultural building can be built 30 % faster then a wood pole barn. The average manufacturing time for a steel building is 8 weeks. Typical construction time is two months. The quick buil

ding process made a steel building was the best choice for Lazy Diamond Farms.

Every dollar counts when it comes to investing in infrastructure in farming. Pre-engineered steel offers savings from the start. Steel offers lower labour costs than traditional agricultural buildings. Global Steel Buildings Canada offers a single source by providing design, engineering, manufacturing. We can even facilitating installation if necessary.

Gerald worked closely with Jim Busch, the owner and founder of Global Steel Buildings. Together they designed a clear span building measuring 80 feet wide by 120 feet long. At 26 feet tall the building was designed to house a five ton crane system. The design provides excellent access for the farm’s heavy equipment. Steel is easy to maintain and offers built in fire and weather proofing, a bonus for Lazy Diamond Farms. Resistant to mold and insect infestation, important considerations for a grain operation.

If you need a wide space that is clear of posts and beams, then a clear span design is the choice. A clear span design is one that does not have supporting pillars like those found in pole buildings. A clear span building offers the most usable space and is ideally suited to farm operations to house livestock and heavy equipment. Other applications could include sports complexes, manufacturing, equestrian riding buildings and warehouse storage.

Because they are pre-engineered, clear span steel agricultural buildings can be erected quickly. This is an important factor in the agricultural sector due to the seasonal nature of the business and it’s dependency on the elements.

A prefab clear span steel farm is a great choice because it is built to last. A steel roof will typically last up to sixty years. While a steel building is low maintenance, keeping the roof free of debris and any dents or scratches caused by external forces taken care of.

Clear Span Steel Buildings vs Clear Span Fabric Buildings

Hoop buildings, quonset huts and rigid frame buildings are the styles that can become fabric covered buildings.

Longevity

Fabric buildings drape a large piece of fabric over the frame of the building.  The fabric is molded to each building frame and tightly attached.  Fabric simply does not have the longevity afforded by steel.  Fabric membranes can stretch, fade and rip.  They will not withstand an extreme wind-load.  A rip will expose the contents of your building to the elements.  Clear span steel buildings are designed to last for decades.  Unlike fabric it is fire resistant. Steel will not warp, rip or decay.

Ease of Erection Process

A clear span steel building can be erected quickly.  Depending on your experience it could be a matter of days before your building is operational. Because the components arrive pre-cut and pre-drilled the process is streamlined and efficient. You will need an experienced installer for a fabric building.  Save money by erecting your clear span steel building with your own crew.

Price Point

While a clear span steel building will be priced higher than a clear span fabric building, the steel option will last decades longer than the fabric counterpart.  Your steel building will be resistant to termites, the elements and mold.  Insurance costs are often lower for a steel building.  Over time you will save on energy costs and overall operating expenses.

A clearspan tent is a great option for a temporary building but if you want a  building built to last steel is your best bet.  Able to withstand heavy snow loads steel will outperform a clearspan tent in all weather.  A clear span steel building can be insulated while a plastic or fabric hoop building cannot.

It doesn’t matter how complex your design is the Global Steel Buildings Canada’s team can get it done. Do you need unique accessories? We are on hand to help you select the best windows, doors, snow protection and other systems for your building.

Pre-engineered Metal Buildings – Reliable and Durable

Pre-engineered Metal buildings

Pre-engineered steel buildings are constructed with main frames, or rigid frames, as the main support structure with secondary, cold form c or z shape girts and purlins to support the exterior roof and wall metal cladding. Various other secondary steel components, such as bracing, flange braces, are also added to stiffen/ strengthen the structure.

Pre-engineered steel building, also known as pre-engineered metal buildings or engineered metal buildings, are designed based on the customer’s requirements, building use, location. Design considerations for steel buildings include clear span distance, bay spacing, roof slope and orientation, collateral loads, local climatic loading, special deflection criteria requirements. Through detailed design and planning, pre-engineered steel buildings provide a much lighter overall building, up to 15-30% lighter, which results in a more economical building solution.

Pre-engineered steel structures are economical and suitable for many applications. Pre-engineered steel buildings are used extensively in industry, agriculture, recreation, forestry, air hangars and commercial and retail construction. The use of pre-engineered steel reduces erection time and delivers better quality assurance under all weather conditions.

Wood Pole Barns

Why are Global Steel Buildings superior to wood pole barns and wood pole buildings?

Roof

Global Steel Buildings

Global Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings kits consist of maintenance-free AZ55 Galvalume®. AZ55 which consists of 55% aluminum, 44% zinc and 1% silicon.
This also allows the steel mill to give 25 year rust through warranty on perforation. If a hole develops in a panel, the steel mill will replace it.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood pole barns typically offer only a 15 year guarantee on the roof sheeting. In most cases wood pole barn buildings only use sheeting with a zinc coating that eventually will oxidize, fade then rust.

Fasteners

Global Steel Buildings

Our capped fasteners are stainless steel. They won’t rust and includes a lifetime warranty. It is very important that the fasteners be compatible with the AZ55 or AZ50 because the steel mill will not warranty the wood pole barn roof if they’re incompatible.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood Pole Barn buildings typically use fasteners with an alloy head that will tarnish turning dark gray or black. The roof of the wood pole barn loses its luster and beauty.

Roof Panels

Global Steel Buildings

Our roof panels are made of steel consisting of an 80 yield, 26 gauge AZ55 Galvalume.
Our steel buildings have a 1½” depth in our corrugation in the sheeting. Our extra depth of corrugation adds strength to the roof.
The sheeting on the roof of our steel buildings has a depth of 1½” in the corrugation. The depth adds strength to the roof.
Our panel overlap (called a reversed “L”) prevents water from backing up through the overlap into the Global Steel Building.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood pole barn buildings typically only use 29 gauge steel on the roof, which is lighter than 26 gauge steel, and only a 5/8″ depth of corrugation that does not provide the extra strength the Global Steel building has.

Some of pole barn kit manufacturing competitors use an ‘R’ panel roof, which means the sheeting only overlaps one third of the way into the corrugation. This doesn’t prevent leakage as well as the reverse ‘L’ design that Global Steel uses because the water will back up into the pole building.

Paint

Global Steel Buildings

The paint used on our Steel buildings has a 40 year warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling and blistering. It is a baked-on polyester paint so that the Global Steel Building maintains its colour and beauty over time.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood pole building manufacturer’s typically only warranty the roof for 10, 15 or 20 years.

Purlins and Girts

Global Steel Buildings

Our Buildings purlins and girts are superior 16 gauge zinc-galvanized.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood pole building manufacturers typically use wood purlins and girts which will bow or bend causing screws to loosen, sheets to flap and leaks to occur within the pole barn.

Frames

Global Steel Buildings

Our steel building consists of rigid frame, plate steel and H beam construction. Since no wood is used in our building – no warping will occur, there’s no risk of fire or termites AND insurance premiums will be less expensive than for wood pole barn kits. Our Building has a 40 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on all structural components.

Our building’s truss does not need a cord going across which means there is complete unobstructed space within. Birds cannot perch and defecate on the equipment and machinery inside the barn, which will save you tremendous costs on maintenance.

Wood Pole Barns

Wood pole buildings manufactured with wooden frames will eventually warp over time. They can also become a fire hazard and become a target for termites and other insects – raising the costs of insurance. Wood Pole Buildings are more expensive to insure.

Wood pole building manufacturers typically require a cord spanning across the truss width causing tremendous loss of space. This creates a perch for birds – potentially damaging your machinery and equipment.

Check these boxes for excellent steel equipment storage buildings

Pre-Engineered steel/metal buildings are the clear choice for several industries and other uses. Garage buildings have the benefit of custom designs and modern technologies including insulation where applicable. Of course, finding a company that is compliant with Canadian building standards is a definite must and a prerequisite, but there are several other benchmarks you should look at to make sure you’re getting the most for your dollar where metal buildings are concerned.

• Energy Star accreditations are important in every structure and metal buildings are no different. You should be able to find a company that supplies panels that can regulate the temperature inside the building, saving valuable heating and cooling dollars.
• The echo friendly aspects of these metal buildings need to go further. You should only work with a company that can design a building to accept solar panels to reduce your electrical bill in the long run.
• It is also important to look for some of the more traditional aspects of any steel building including a good warranty and low maintenance costs.

Pre-engineered steel buildings have other advantages, including the fact that the construction process is much simpler and more cost-effective than with other building materials. Make sure that you can maximize the window size to allow for as much natural light as possible.

Excellent storage buildings take all the seasons into account

Sorting through all the steel buildings Canada choices means thinking about the climate where you live. While steel buildings prices vary from location to location, it is important to work with a company that understands the damage that snow can do if not properly controlled on your steel buildings.

It is important for you to look through everything that’s offered to find a variety of different accessories, but if you live in a climate that turns colder for several months of the year, snow guards are almost a necessity. What’s more, it is a very good idea to find a company that has done some research into the best kind of snow guards and the most efficient technologies available.

One of the critical aspects that you need to look for here is a non-clamping system that won’t put any unnecessary holes in the roof of your storage buildings. Polycarbonate is an excellent material that you should look to wherever possible, and a company that is also concerned about the aesthetics of the snow guards they offer should win your trust.

You should also be able to find these Pre-engineered steel buildings accessories in a variety of colors.

Farm buildings and barns need sturdy storage

There are many interesting accessories that a steel building can be used for agricultural purposes. These technologically advanced steel farm structures are more than just run-of-the-mill metal sheds in many different ways. For example, although farm buildings and barns need sturdy storage space to be functional, finding a company that can erect one of these structures and also add a comprehensive Energy Saver System will save the owner a tremendous amount of money in energy costs.

The wall and roof insulation is strategically placed into the structure itself without taking away any of the storage area. In return, the owner gets the advantage of being able to save on heating and/or cooling dollars as well as being able to utilize the full area. An Eve Strut Insulation Kit is offered by only the best companies in this industry and it tackles any of the weak spots where heat can escape during colder winter months and cost more money.

A modern steel farm building has various safety features incorporated with the owners, livestock and any people who might enter the building in mind. Top-notch companies are noted for their expertise at building firewalls as an added safety feature.

5 Reasons to Choose Steel for Storage Buildings

Are you looking to construct a storage building to get some of your older equipment and inventory out of the way? If so, then you’re probably wondering what material is the best to construct with.

In this article, we’ll introduce you to why you need to be choosing steel for storage buildings. The benefits that steel gives to storage structures are enormous and can’t be ignored.

1. Easy Assembly

The first reason why you should consider steel when constructing storage buildings is simply how easy steel buildings are to assemble. Because the metal is pre-fabricated, there is far less work to do when actually setting the building up than if you were to choose brick, plaster, or some other building material.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of time waiting for your building to be constructed, but you need a storage solution ASAP, then a steel building is obviously the way to go.

2. Durability

One of the reasons why steel is so ubiquitous in practically all commercial applications is because of its durability. Simply put, steel is one of the materials out there that is extremely resistant to the elements. You don’t have to worry about the climate damaging your steel storage building in any way.

Steel storage buildings are resistant to natural disasters, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes because of their high strength. They are able to reduce significant amounts of stress before being damaged.

They can also hold up well against the weight of much snow if you live in an area with heavy winter precipitation. And unlike wood and other building materials, termites and rodents eating through your walls aren’t a concern with steel.

3. Reduced Insurance

Because of a steel building’s durability, it is far cheaper to insure than pretty much any other option on the market. The contents of the building can thus be secured by your company at a far more palatable cost.

4. Cost-Efficiency

Steel is mass-produced in almost every country. Thus, it is available for extremely low prices. This, combined with its ease of assembly, means that the cost of putting up a steel storage building is nowhere near that of some other building materials.

5. Low Maintenance

Last but certainly not least, maintenance for steel buildings is rather low in several ways. Steel buildings require less framing, so they have fewer foundational issues in the long-term.

In addition, because of steel’s insulative properties, buildings made out of steel are buildings that save energy. You can have a green storage solution that won’t have a significant impact on your monthly power bill.

Steel for Storage Buildings — The Right Choice!

There you have it — now that you know why you should choose steel for storage buildings, all that remains is for you to choose a contractor to build this storage solution for you.

Looking for airplane hangers with low maintenance?

If you have taken the time and spent the money to invest in an aircraft it makes perfect sense that you should also look at metal buildings to protect it. Although looking at your steel buildings options might seem a little confusing at first, there are a few big advantages to buying one of these steel buildings to use as an airplane hangar that are self-evident.

• For example, today’s metal buildings are protected by special coatings and paints that help them to last an incredibly long time. Not only do they have a lower maintenance cost from other materials like wood, airplane hangers made from steel have a service life of approximately 40 years.
• This is also the choice that is environmentally friendly. The metal buildings that you choose are made from 25% to 95% recyclable materials and the buildings themselves are virtually 100% recyclable. It is important when you are picking out an airplane hanger to make sure you are doing your part to save the planet at the same time.
• Airplane hangers made from steel are also versatile because they come with a wide range of different and interesting color options.

What to look for in agricultural sheds made of steel

Pre-engineered agricultural metal sheds for farms. Steel sheds are a cost-effective solution that last and don’t require a lot of maintenance or upkeep. However, people looking to buy one of these modern buildings may not be completely familiar with steel construction. Becoming familiar with what you will need in specific kinds of structures like agricultural sheds is the first step and looking through the different kinds of accessories that are available is a good starting point.

For example, all of the steel sheds that you buy will need to have a way to get in and out and depending on what you will be storing inside, the size and structure of the door matters. Each and every aspect of these steel sheds you want to buy need to be carefully scrutinized including the kind of doors that you will affix. Walk doors are very common, but they need to have some very specific features including an adjustable full aluminum channel and a six gauge, galvanized sub-frame (framed opening) that is sized to match girth depth.

A company that understands how to win over your business when it comes to steel sheds will also have several other varieties of doors available including sectional overhead doors as well as others that are wind and fire rated for your protection and safety.
