Busting the Metal Building Plans Catalog Myth

Every RHINO Steel Building is Made-to-Order for You

Icon of a metal building plan catalog.Customers new to the pre-engineered building concept often call us asking for a catalog of our metal building plans. 

New building buyers think they must choose from a list of available models. They expect to thumb through a limited number of metal building floor plans, and then settle for the one closest to what they really want.

Ain’t no such animal in the RHINO metal prefab buildings world!  There are no “off-the-rack” buildings or “cookie-cutter” designs with our metal building system. 

Every RHINO order is designed and manufactured to the customer’s specific ideas and location.

RHINO metal buildings give you a custom-designed structure at a catalog design price! 

Ordering RHINO Metal Prefab Buildings

We design the steel structure; you design your own floor plan.

You tell us the size of the building you need— length, width, and height.  You choose the exterior siding, the options and accessories, the roof pitch and style, the door and window styles and placement— everything. 

A RHINO metal building will reflect your unique vision— not someone else’s idea from a catalog of metal building plans.

Based on your choices— and your current local building codes— structural designers go to work to custom-draft your structure. 

Once you approve the design and place your order, we send detailed fabrication drawings to the factory nearest you. 

The entire metal building kit ships to your job site— ready to assemble— in a matter of weeks.

Limitless Possibilities for RHINO Metal Building Plans

How does a RHINO structure allow such freedom for metal building floor plans? 

It is simple: superior strength. 

Steel boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any structural material.  Relying on the predictability of that strength, designers create the strongest possible structure with the least amount of material. 

In other structural systems, load-bearing columns or walls limit your floor plan options.  However, a clear span RHINO metal building supports its own weight without interior structural supports. 

With RHINO clear span metal prefab buildings, you layout the interior any way you want— and change if needed— without worrying about compromising the structural integrity of the building.
