Steel frame buildings are stronger and provide more usable square footage than wood frame buildings. Steel rafter systems accommodate more insulation for improved energy efficiency. For buildings over 50 feet wide, the cost of a steel framed building compares favorably to wood frame.

KSI metal buildings are engineered to withstand harsh weather and the wet environments typical on Wisconsin dairy farms. Our buildings are constructed with galvanized purlins to prevent rust. The rafter systems feature flush columns and girts to maximize usable floor space. This also provides the option of complete interior sheeting coverage, allowing for full washdown. As an added benefit, the flush metal sheathing prevents bird damage to insulation and allows for unobstructed air flow to ridge vents.

KSI specializes in designing and building rugged barns and sheds specifically for large Wisconsin farms. Our structures are typically built on 12 foot high concrete walls to allow traffic from heavy farm equipment without damage to trusses. Steel construction allows for up to an 80 foot clear span without adding significant cost.
