Steel Building Styles

Only Absolute Steel buildings and garages are designed for different environments as well as different budgets. We are nationally known for steel buildings that are often used in places most other steel buildings would simply never fit in.

Sierra Series Buildings:

The Sierra Series is designed in the tradition of the conventional steel building with the notable characteristic of featuring our “stand alone” frame system. This means that if you intend to cover the outside of your structure with materials other than our steel panels, this is the building you want. Note that varying degrees of frame member modifications may be required depending upon specific exterior treatments.

Exterior steel panels are applied in a vertical fashion which means the Sierra building has purlins in the roof and girts in the sidewalls. This translates to the Sierra building having the most rugged frame system of any structure we offer.

With the vertical application of the panels, you will be pleased with the ease that the exterior panels go on and because of the frequency of panel ribbing variations, they are visually forgiving if the screws are tightened improperly (too much torque on the drill gun). Get a quote.

Mohave Series Buildings:

The Mohave Series building was designed to give you the traditional building look like our Sierra Series but in the most economical way possible.

With engineering available for most all continental US areas, the Mohave Series gives you rugged durability along with economic practicality.

The Mohave building has the same eave profile and vertical roof of the Sierra with the horizontal walls of the Sonoran, our least expensive model.

Assembly is simple and straightforward: roof panels are attached in a vertical application and the wall panels are attached horizontally just like the Teton or the Sonoran. Get a quote.

Teton Series Buildings:

The Teton Series was made to integrate into the urban environment with its 12” soffit eave overhangs and the distinctive exterior paneling made to replicate wood shiplap siding.

It has the strength and maintenance free characteristics of steel with a distinctive residential appearance while still providing the strength and durability necessary for the rural environment.

The Teton's heavy 26 gauge paneling appears just like shiplap siding. It goes on horizontally, which means it’s a simple application of the panels from the ground up. The trim designs compliment and add to the dimension of its distinctive profile. Get a quote.

Sonoran Series Buildings:

The Sonoran Series is the most economical and easiest to build of any of our buildings. The structure performs well in most any environment but is not recommended for areas having much in the way of snow loads - not because it won’t engineer but because the ribbed panels are applied in a horizontal fashion which can inhibit the easy runoff of snow.

The Sonoran can be used in urban or rural areas and provides a great building for utility storage, boats, cars, trucks or just general warehousing. This is the building that can begin serving you as a carport and then later, easily converts to a garage or building with the addition of enclosures on the front and the back.

The simplest of any building offered by us, a beginner with limited tools and construction background will have no problems installing the Sonoran Series. Get a quote.

Gambrel Buildings:

No other steel building company in America offers you the option of the Gambrel barn style building!

The advantages to the gambrel is based on the same reasoning and purpose that led European farmers to come up with the design centuries ago: Interior Space.

With two different slopes inclining towards the peak, the cubic feet of storage is quite amazing regardless of the building’s outer perimeter. Taller door heights are available in the gambrel than any of our other buildings. This makes it easy for the gambrel to accommodate the highest profile RV.

Because of the gambrels’ unique construction, it is not yet on our automated quote system because the frame system, based upon varying spans and heights, requires different steel specifications unique to each building so please contact us for individual quotes.

Quite at home on the farm or the neighborhood, the gambrel by Absolute Steel has a straightforward panel application—either horizontal or vertical and the frame is as simple to assemble as any of our other buildings. Be sure to check your gambrel’s peak height before ordering as with all the gambrel’s “upper storage” you’ll need ladders with extensions at surprisingly low primary eave heights. Call for a quote.
