Browse Robust & Cost-Effective Steel Clear Span Buildings

Discover our well-curated variety of sturdy clear span structures, which are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions while keeping pest infestations and corrosion at bay.

What Are Clear Span Metal Buildings?

A clear span structure is known for its expansive and unobstructed interiors, which makes them ideal for uses that require ample of indoor space. Their floor plans can effectively be customized to meet the exact needs of the owners and can also be adapted for new or different uses.

The span in clear span means the width of the framing of the building. As the entire width of the floor — from one sidewall column to the other sidewall column — is completely open without any vertical support, they are considered clear.

Clear span structures offer a free flow of space, allowing you to maximize the available square footage. Not just that, the frames are built with rafters, eave and ridge haunch, and side columns.

Essentially, these structures feature simple designs and the roof’s weight is effectively distributed among the side columns as well as the base. It is ideal to opt for concrete slabs as the foundation to improve the stability of the structure.

With an unobstructed internal area, you can incorporate a wide range of equipment and heavy-duty machinery under a single roof and seamlessly conduct operations while enhancing efficiency. They can be utilized for agricultural, commercial, as well as residential purposes.

Features of Clearspan Metal Buildings

  • Unmatched Versatility: Clear-span buildings are extremely versatile and can be adapted to meet different needs. There are no load-bearing walls to complicate floor plans as the frame bears all the load. The interior columns, if any, can be removed or added as needed.

  • No Interior Posts: These structures feature zero interior columns or posts and can be wider than 100 feet. They are a popular choice for uses requiring segmented interior layouts, too, including office buildings or retail spaces.

  • Rigid Frame Systems: The framing system is the base of any metal building, and most clearspan structures are constructed with a rigid framing system. It features rigid and inflexible joints that can resist even the pressure of high force.

  • Durable and Low Maintenance: Built with 100% galvanized steel, our clear-span buildings are highly resistant to adverse weather conditions, corrosion, and decay. The resilient certified buildings can also withstand snow loads of up to 80 lbs per square foot and wind speeds of up to 180 miles per hour.

Hence, clearspan metal buildings require fewer repairs and replacements in comparison to traditional structures. Moreover, steel is non-porous in nature and does not trap dirt or dust, making it extremely easy to clean and maintain these structures.

Usable Area Within Clear Span Buildings

Within a clear span prefab building, the usable area is the complete width, length, and height of the structure. Due to the elimination of supporting internal posts and columns, it is possible to fully utilize the space, especially for activities that require unobstructed areas, such as assembly lines and feeding facilities.

Along with providing ample floor space, clearspan buildings also maximize ceiling heights as well as overhead space.

These structures start at a width of 30 feet, and the minimum length and height of clearspan buildings can be customized according to personal needs.

How is a Clear Span Metal Building Designed?

A metal clear span building is built with high-quality galvanized steel framing. They are designed with top-notch materials and gauges in order to support the load of the building without compromising the integrity of the structure.

These structures use rafters for heavy overhead support instead of vertical posts or columns to tolerate the structural weight. However, structures over the width of 150 feet are likely to require custom engineering.

Versatile Uses of Clear Span Steel Buildings

Clear span metal storage buildings can be adapted for a multitude of operations as they permit greater design flexibility. A few common applications of these structures include:

  • Aviation hangars

  • Warehouses

  • Offices

  • Automobile showrooms

The price of clearspan buildings is dependent on different factors, including material and location. While they range from $15 to $40 per square foot, the customizations are also likely to drive up the cost.

Clearspan metal structures can be as wide as 300 feet. However, for larger buildings special engineering might be required for them to be able to bear heavy loads.

While clear-span buildings feature no interior columns and provide free-to-use space, multi-span buildings use supporting posts to accommodate larger widths. Multi-span metal buildings can be as wide as 600 feet.

Vertical roofs are considered ideal for clear-span buildings, especially in regions that are prone to heavy rainfall or snowfall. Moreover, vertical roofs feature additional components like purlins and ridge caps to enhance their load-beading capacity, which works well for clear-span units.

Absolutely! Steel clearspan buildings are modular in nature, allowing for hassle-free expansion or modifications to meet your evolving needs. Moreover, without any internal posts, they can be modified without compromising the integrity of your original building.
