Vertical roof structures are installed with vertical panels that run from one side of the unit to the other. The panel orientation makes it easy to channel all snow, rain, fallen leaves, and other debris off the sides of the building and away from the foundation. They are also installed with additional framing pieces, adding to the overall structural integrity of the unit.

The dimensions of your metal structure are listed as width x length x height. The width is measured from outside to outside of the baserail. The length of the baserail is 1’ foot shorter than the panel on the horizontal models, meaning that in vertical models the length will be the same size as the baserail. The height is the measure of the legs on the outer walls.

The time required for a proper installation process will vary based on the size of your structure, additional customizations and the weather conditions in the area. For smaller, standard buildings it can take just a few hours for assembly. On the other hand, larger structures may take a few days to be fully assembled.

While the average lead time ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, this time frame can change based on the size of your building project, your installation location and its weather conditions. For an up-to-date lead time, you can contact the manufacturer in charge of your order.

Our 14-gauge framing option is the standard gauge size in the metal building industry, measuring at 2 ½” x 2 ½”. This size framing is often used on standard buildings with smaller size dimensions, as well as structures being installed in areas with mild weather conditions. For larger buildings that will be installed in an area prone to extreme weather conditions, we highly recommend opting for our 12-gauge framing. As a thicker and stronger option compared to 14-gauge, our 12-gauge measures at 2 ¼” x 2 ¼”.

It’s important to prepare the site where you plan to have your metal building installed. Be sure to provide a flat, level area, pour a concrete slab if required, clean the area of debris or trash, and to obtain the proper licensing (if applicable) for your metal building on your property.
