Light Gauge Steel Portals are ideal just at the point when 'Traditional Hot Rolled Steel Portal Frames' starting becoming less economical due to the minimum steel section sizes available in Hot Rolled Steel and fixing spacing requirements.
Sheds of this size are ideal for 'starter units' and small industrial units' as well as home gyms and any manner of smaller buildings.
Contact some of our existing customers such as CCS Steel Framing Ltd, DF Sheds Ltd and AM Steel Buildings for prices and feedback on the software. Video below shows just the modelling phase
