🏗️ METAL BUILDING 101 🏗️

Ever hear us say “gable end” or “eave side” and wonder what in the world we’re talking about? 😄

Knowing a few common metal-building terms can make designing your building and communicating exactly what you want much easier!

🏠 Gable End — The end of the building where the roof comes together to form its peak.

➡️ Eave Side — The side of the building where the roof slopes down and meets the wall.

📏 Leg / Eave Height — Measured from the ground to the corner where the wall meets the roof.

🔩 Base Rail — The steel tubing that runs along the bottom perimeter of the building.

Knowing the lingo makes it much easier to discuss building dimensions, door and window placement, lean-tos, porches, and overall layout with your Building Specialist.

💬 What metal-building term should we explain next? Drop it in the comments! We may feature it in our next Metal Building 101 post.

🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and recognize the courage and unity our nation showed in the face of tragedy.

May we always remember those who never made it home, the families forever changed, and the first responders and everyday Americans who stepped forward when they were needed most.

September 11, 2001 — Always remembered. Never forgotten. 🇺🇸
