Tube Framed Metal Buildings

Tube Framed Metal Buildings | Affordable & Easy-to-Assemble Steel Structures

 

What Is a Tube Framed Metal Building?

Tube framed metal buildings are made from square or rectangular steel tubing that’s lightweight yet durable. The tubing is typically galvanized to resist rust, making it ideal for smaller structures where cost and convenience matter most.


Frame Material & Rigidity

The galvanized steel tubing offers moderate rigidity—strong enough for small to mid-sized projects, but not meant for large commercial applications. Tube frames handle light to moderate wind and snow loads effectively.


Span Capability

These structures are best for widths up to 30 feet, though wider spans are possible with interior posts. They’re commonly used for garages, workshops, and carports.


Durability & Foundation

Tube framed buildings are designed to last many years with basic maintenance. They can be installed on a simple concrete slab or even ground anchors for lighter applications.


Ease of Assembly

This is one of their biggest advantages. Tube frame kits bolt together easily using standard tools, often allowing property owners to handle installation themselves.


Customization & Cost

They offer flexible design options for doors, windows, and siding while staying affordable. Tube framed systems are the most budget-friendly option in the metal building family.


Code Compliance & Common Uses

Most tube frame structures meet local codes for small buildings, garages, and sheds. They’re ideal for homeowners who want quick, low-cost protection for vehicles, equipment, or hobbies.
