Wide-Span Buildings

Clear-span structures for large equipment and storage without interior supports.

Wide-Span Commercial & Agricultural Buildings

Our Wide-Span structures (ranging from 32' to 60' wide) are designed for projects that require massive clear-span space without interior support columns. These are ideal for industrial warehouses, large agricultural barns, and commercial storage.


1. Engineered Truss Systems

Traditional carports use simple bows. Wide-Span buildings use Webbed Truss systems engineered to bridge large distances safely.

  • 32' - 60' Widths: Can accommodate multiple full-size tractors, combines, or industrial machinery.
  • Clear Span: No interior posts means 100% usable floor space.

2. Heavy-Duty Components

  • 12-Gauge Steel: Standard for all Wide-Span projects to ensure structural integrity across the large roof area.
  • Ladders and Bracing: Comprehensive internal bracing systems are included to handle the complex loads of a large-scale building.

3. Commercial Use Cases

  • Truck Depots: For fleet maintenance and storage.
  • Retail Canopies: For Garden Centers or outdoor material storage.
  • Event Pavilions: Large community shelters and agricultural fair buildings.

4. Installation Logistics

Installing a 60' wide building is a specialized operation.

  • Heavy Equipment: May require the use of a telehandler or crane on-site for truss placement.
  • Lead Times: Due to the complexity of the engineering and material volume, lead times may be slightly longer than standard carports.

Expert Engineering Insight

"We don't build generic carports. We build for your specific GPS coordinates. Every pound of snow load and every mile of wind gust is calculated before the first piece of steel is cut."
