A metal building can look fairly straightforward once the roof and wall panels are in place. Under that finished exterior, though, the structure depends on specific choices in steel framing, sheet metal, tubing, bends, hardware, coatings, and exterior fasteners.
Choice Metal Buildings uses 14-gauge and 12-gauge galvanized steel framing, along with 29-gauge sheet metal as its standard panel specification. Looking at those components separately makes it easier to understand what you are actually comparing when you review a custom metal building.
What Does the Steel Frame Do?
The framing creates the structural skeleton that supports the rest of the building. Choice Metal Buildings uses galvanized steel framing in 14-gauge and 12-gauge options, with both measuring 2¼ inches by 2¼ inches.
