Of course, building in the Sierra Nevada can present its own set of unique challenges. The winters around these parts are the perfect antithesis of the picturesque “postcard” California that most folks think of when they picture California. The Sierra Nevada mountains bring extremely frigid winter days with foot after foot of snowfall. In the 2023/2024 Winter season, both Sugar Bowl and Mammoth Mountain saw over 700 inches of snowfall at their peak. Winters here demand a durable and well-insulated building that can handle what Mother Nature has to offer. That’s why a metal building kit is a phenomenal solution, whether you’re building commercial, or residential, or need a workshop to store your ATVs, side by side, and snowmobiles.
Every building we produce is designed specifically for the location and needs of our customers. When purchasing a building kit, a cookie-cutter kit may not meet the requirements for snow and wind loading of your location. In the Sierra Nevadas, that can very rapidly become a massive problem. Fortunately, our designers are intimately familiar with International Building Code requirements and have over a decade of experience designing buildings to last a lifetime in virtually every climate. We’re serious about it, too. That’s why our buildings come with a lifetime structural warranty. We want you to have peace of mind in knowing that your building is more than capable of withstanding the elements.
With temperatures throughout the Sierra Nevada region fluctuating from sub-zero to triple digits from Winter to Summer, insulation is paramount. Whether you’re trying to keep the cold air in or out, the modern insulation systems we offer with our buildings are both efficient and cost-effective. Furthermore, the insulation systems help keep moisture from accumulating in your building’s structure, preventing rust and corrosion and ensuring that your building is here for the long haul.
Our precisely engineered building kits are designed to maximize efficiency on site with quick, intuitive erection and eliminate material waste on the job site. Nobody wants to waste time on the job site, either. Fortunately, we provide our customers with an industry-leading erection manual that’s both in-depth and easy to understand. Whether you’re hiring an erection crew or putting the building up yourself, the process is streamlined and straightforward. We also offer a 24/7 customer service hotline to answer any questions that may arise throughout the entire process of acquiring and erecting your building.
