Straight Wall Buildings
Metal straight wall buildings are perfect for use in multiple applications.
We offer several different styles of straight wall buildings, each with unique traits to suit your specific needs. These structures are available with clear-span frames, allowing you to have an unobstructed interior, multi-span frames that feature interior bearings, and lean-to frames which serve as excellent additions to existing structures.
These straight wall building designs are perfect for use as arenas, hangars, garages, warehouses, farm structures such as barns and storage for crops, livestock housing, and more.
Clear-Span Frames
This style of frame is used primarily when an unobstructed interior is required in your straight wall building. It is ideal for creating equestrian arenas, indoor soccer centres, ice rinks, pools, aircraft hangars, warehouses and more. They don’t have interior column supports, creating free space to store items, operate machinery, and house recreational facilities.

Multi-Span Frames
A steel straight wall building with a multi-span frame works best in structures where unobstructed space is not required and utilizing an interior bearing is feasible. Additionally, for structures with a span of more than 100’ (30.48m), installing an interior bearing can help to reduce overall building costs. For all of these straight wall frame styles, the interior columns can be spaced from 30’ (9.14m) – 100’ (30.48m) apart.
