OUR BASIC METAL BUILDING
Rhino Steel Building Systems offers virtually any type of structural design required (steel frames shown at left). Depending upon your building square footage, local codes and wind-rain-seismic requirements, Rhino can fill your needs. Standard metal building bay lengths are 20’ and 25’ between main steel frames (optional bay lengths up to 40’ available). A variety of endwall designs are available depending upon specific steel building demands. Post and beam endwalls are standard. Optional “rigid steel frame” endwall designs are also available when there may be a need to add to the metal building in the future or perhaps a need for a total opening such as an aircraft hangar door. Our staff of professionals can be of great assistance in determining the right metal building structure and steel frame required can be reached at 1-888-320-7466.
We make it easy to purchase a quality steel building. Rhino’s building specialist can assist in taking your initial concept and developing the structural design with accessories that best accommodates your metal building needs.You receive a complete set of prints for your commercial steel building stamped by a steel building specialist licensed in your state.
One of many standard steel building features offered by Rhino include overlapping purlins over the main roof beams. As opposed to flush bolting methods, this technique insures greater strength and structural support for your commercial steel building. Return to home page.
STANDARD PANELS
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 (see below left) and less metal to metal contact. See our steel building options page for panel color choices.

SELF DRILLING FASTENERS
Cast zinc aluminum fasteners or optional stainless steel fasteners for galvalume sheathing .
RHINO RIDGE CAPS
Rhino's die formed ridge caps conform to all standard panel configurations and provide a much tighter seal at the roof seam of your metal building. This contributes to more metal to metal contact for a tighter seal and better pest control.
WEATHER PROOFING
At Eave, Base and Roof.
Another Rhino standard steel building feature includes all materials necessary to seal your steel building from the elements using specially designed foam rubber "closure strips" at all eaves, base and roof.
FORMED BASE TRIM
The base trim, employed at the bottom of the wall panels, features a colored steel edge that the wall panel rests on resulting in two major benefits. This eliminates the need for a 1 1/2” notch in the concrete around the perimeter of the slab. Thus, your panel will not rest on the concrete which may later cause rusting. It also will typically save an average of 4 yards of concrete on a 5,000 sq. ft. building...an average $300 savings.
