Our church is growing, if we outgrow the building size can we add on to our Kentucky Steel Building?
Yes! All Kentucky Steel buildings come standard with full load trusses at both endwalls. That allows you to open the endwall and attach more bays to continue your free span facility. Want to make the building wider and add offices/classrooms? Perfect we have thought of that as well, attach enclosed sheds on both sides with the same snow and wind loads of the original building!
Read More...Absolutely! We love to work with churches and realize that it takes a great effort from the committees to ensure they are buying and constructing the best possible building for their congregation. We have a few close to our manufacturing/showroom in Winchester, KY and would be happy to tour them with you and allow you to talk with the pastors one on one.
Read More...Yes, Kentucky Steel Manufactures special wall columns for churches, The Cathedral Truss Column. The columns are 8” wide straight up to 8’6” then tapers out. We provide 8” wide girts to go in between the truss legs to hide the truss in the wall. Girts are on 2’ centers so no need to build out addition wall for the exterior as you can attach your sheetrock straight to our girts. Ask your building specialist for more details.
Read More...Typically, this is at the knee of the truss (where the wall meets the roof) and is 2’ lower than your eave height. As you move towards the center of your span the truss goes up at a 4/12 pitch (4” rise for every 12” over) which will give you good clearance in the center for your needs.
Read More...This poses questions we need to ask of you. What type of sports will you play inside? Do you need bench seating on the sides of the courts? Kentucky Steel buildings can be manufactured to suit your needs. With eave wall heights up to 26’ and higher and a 4/12 roof pitch, you will not have to worry about hitting the rafters on that full court pass, or Hail-Mary to the end zone!!

Read More...Yes, in the ultimate models our girts are 2’ on center and will accommodate the attachment of dry wall. Being the strongest walls in the industry they are strong enough to provide minimal deflection in high winds. This equates to no cracking of your seams and leaving you with a beautiful finish. There is no need for additional purchase of framing to be able to finish your exterior walls in your new Kentucky Steel Ultimate System!
Read More...The girts on a metal building support the metal siding. In technical terms, they transfer the wind load from the siding to the vertical supports. The girts are needed because, even though our metal siding is very strong and durable, it is not rigid enough to span the entire vertical height of a building without buckling in high winds or in the event of an impact. The metal panels need some back-up. Most companies will give you the minimum amount of girts to barely pass the deflection criteria. Their first one starts at 7’ 6” above grade and then every 6 to 8 ft above that. You can see and feel the exterior panels deflect in high winds. Not very comforting to be in.
Our buildings have more girts, the basic and enhanced models have girts 4’ on center and our ultimate model has girts 2’ on center to provide the least deflection of your walls in the industry.
Read More...No, high pressure sales people work for independent sales organizations. They claim they are the manufacturer when they are nowhere near the plant. They will sell you a building and then go out and buy from the lowest cost building system they can find near you. Check these companies out, ask about their warranties, ask if you can visit the plant, etc.
Read More...Very seldom. This would only happen if someone put a 25% deposit down and then later cancelled the project. It very rarely happens anywhere but some companies use this as a tactic to create an urgency for you to buy before someone else snatches it up.
Read More...Yes! One of the many benefits of buying direct from the manufacture is we can design a kit to your exact sizing requirements. Call us with your ideas and we will bring them to life.
Read More...Yes, we encourage you to seek out a contractor that you are familiar with. Get several quotes for the concrete and construction. Always remember though, to not base your decision on the lowest bidder as you may end up paying more in the long run. Ask for references and check them out.
