Straight Wall Buildings — Vertical walls, usable to the edge

Straight-wall construction gives you full height right up to the wall line. Benches, racking, cabinets and parked equipment all work against the wall the way you expect, and overhead doors can sit in the sidewall rather than only the endwall.

What to think about before you order

Available in cold-formed steel and in red iron for heavier commercial loads. Cold-formed covers most residential and light commercial spans at lower cost; red iron is the answer when spans, loads or occupancy requirements get serious.

Common uses

  • Workshops
  • Commercial buildings
  • Barndominiums
  • Warehouses

Recommended profiles

These are the models that suit straight wall buildings best. The right one depends mostly on whether you need usable wall height or the lowest cost per square foot.
