Protecting Assets, Reducing Costs, and Scaling Infrastructure for California’s Toughest Commercial Demands
When you’re running a commercial operation—whether in energy, construction, agriculture, or logistics—the cost of storing and protecting large equipment can quickly add up. From sun damage to weather delays, uncovered assets are liabilities waiting to happen. That’s where wide span buildings come in.
These durable, scalable, and cost-effective metal structures are quickly becoming the go-to solution for companies that need large equipment covers and commercial storage buildings built to last.
What Are Wide Span Buildings?
Wide span buildings are engineered metal structures designed without internal support beams, offering unobstructed space under one roof. They’re ideal for:
Housing heavy machinery
Storing pallets, cables, transformers, or raw materials
Creating temporary or semi-permanent workspaces
Unlike traditional pole barns or wooden sheds, wide span buildings are precision-fabricated and can be customized to your business needs—whether you need 40 feet or 100 feet of clear interior space.
The Real Cost of Leaving Equipment Exposed
If you’re in commercial construction, utilities, or logistics, chances are you’ve dealt with:
Weather-related delays: Rain, snow, or extreme heat can damage unprotected tools or vehicles.
Asset depreciation: UV rays, moisture, and rust can cut equipment life in half.
Safety risks: Cluttered outdoor yards are more prone to trip hazards, theft, and fire risks.
Installing a large equipment cover can reduce maintenance costs, increase operational efficiency, and even lower insurance premiums.
Benefits of Commercial Storage Buildings
1. Cost-Effective and Scalable
Metal buildings cost significantly less per square foot than traditional construction. Plus, they can be expanded later as your storage needs grow.
2. Fast Deployment
Many companies need storage solutions yesterday. With pre-engineered kits, you can have a wide span building installed and ready within weeks—not months.
3. Customizable for Industry Needs
Whether you need extra-high clearances for forklifts, roll-up doors, or climate control options—our commercial storage buildings can be customized to your specs.
Why Utility and Infrastructure Companies Trust Metal Structures
PG&E and similar utility companies operate in remote locations with large-scale gear and mission-critical timelines. They can’t afford to lose time or equipment to the elements.
Metal carports and wide span buildings provide:
Low maintenance infrastructure for staging areas, crew break zones, and field operations.
Rapid deployment in emergency response scenarios.
Weather protection for generators, trailers, wire reels, and pipe racks.
Engineered for California’s Diverse Climates
From snow in Redding to scorching heat in Bakersfield, our metal structures are designed with regional load ratings, anchoring options, and corrosion-resistant finishes.
Our team handles everything from permitting to custom fabrication, ensuring your building meets California’s structural codes and local regulations.
