Do you recommend using a butyl sealant tape on all roof seams?

August 13th, 2007

It is recommended in the buildings plans and erection manual to place Butyl sealant( tape mastic) at all locations on the roof where the panals overlap.  This will help  insure a weathertight roof.  We do not  normally apply tape mastic to the walls

Does Rhino erect the buildings or do I have to do it myself?

August 8th, 2007

Rhino Buildings are all bolt together with no welding required. Each building order comes with an erection manual and a Video tape or CD showing how the building is assembled.  A larges percentage of Rhino customer’s erect the building themselves, saving themselves a good amout of money.  Rhino has four people in customer service, that can answer any question over the toll free number you may have during the erction process.

For those customers wanting an erection crew, Rhino can give you the names of crews that have erected buildings for Rhino’s customer’s for years that you may contact.

does Rhino erect the buildings or do I have to do it myself?

August 6th, 2007

Rhino does not have any company crews, but we do have a list of independent erectors that have erected  buildings for our customers for years. They would carry their own insurance and meet the building at time of delivery to unload it.

What type of foundation is required for a metal building?

June 28th, 2007

Pier and beam or concrete slab foundations may be employed. However, we strongly recommend that all building foundations be designed by an experienced local foundation engineer. This engineer can also recommend excavation procedures, drainage practices, form work, reinforcing steel requirements and concrete proportioning. This will assure proper designs, expedite the work and reduce costs. Your Rhino Steel building is shipped with engineered stamped blueprints.

What kind of panels do your buildings come with?

June 1st, 2007

PBR roof and wall panels (26 gauge high tensile steel) are standard in Rhino’s metal building kits. PBR panels feature extra overlap (see below right) for increased strength and water resistance. Other prefab metal buildings use “R” panels with shorter overlap  and less metal to metal contact. See our steel building options page for panel color choices.
