Cold Formed Steel vs. Post Frame Building Systems
The Steel Framing Advantages
1. Pre-engineered material that can be cut to exact lengths
2. Dimensionally stable and does not expand or contract with changes in moisture content
3. Lightweight compared to wood and concrete
4. Resilient and will not warp, split, crack or creep when exposed to the elements
5. Sustainable and 100% recyclable
6. Durable and has a high tensile strength
7. Non-combustible safeguard against fire accidents
8. Not Chemically Treated No rotting of post set in the ground
9. Production Lead Times Four to Six week on site delivery
10. Extended Clearance No bottom cord or truss system to lower head room
11. 90’ Clear Span – EXCEPTIONAL Snow Loads Can Be Met – UP TO 30’ SIDEWALL EAVE HEIGHT –180 MPH WIND LOADS
12. Reduced complexity of construction: This means it could be potentially sold as material package
to their customers. Also means it could serve as a quick “filler” for their crews.
13. Lead-time: Still much quicker to deliver than a PF package. This plays into the first point.
14. Price competitive.
