Custom Steel Framing Options
Your Kemp metal building can be designed to virtually any desired dimension to achieve the optimal design solution for your building requirements. As a custom metal building manufacturer, we produce a wide array of structural systems, available in standard and long span options.
Gable - Clear Span Rigid Frame
When large open areas are desired, the clear span rigid frame type is typically the economical choice. Suitable for almost any application, this frame type can be designed as a symmetrical or asymmetrical configuration. It can be used with either cold-form purlins or open web joists.
Gable - Modular Rigid Frame
The modular rigid frame’s interior columns provide multiple spans on wider buildings. This economical frame type makes use of interior load-bearing columns to more evenly distribute the building load. Thus helping to reduce the size of the rafter & columns. It is available in both gable and single slope designs.
Single Slope - Rigid Frame
Available in clear span and modular, the single slope frame design offers a sloping roof in one plane. It is an excellent option when drainage restrictions are an issue. The single slope rigid frame is an economical way of adding to an existing structure. Facades and parapets are often used to give the appearance that all surrounding walls are the same height.
Lean-to
The lean-to steel frame joins to, and is supported by, a main building frame. A very economical way to extend or expand the square footage of a building, it is also a great option when drainage restrictions are an issue. The lean-to frame must be supported on the high side by an adjoining building column.
Tapered Beam - Rigid Frame
Suitable for all types of small buildings that require clear spans. The tapered beam’s straight columns offer maximum efficiency of interior space.Tapered beam frames are ideal for partitioning interior bays and small crane support systems.

Flush Girt: where no space is provided between the columns and exterior panels, offering maximum floor space
Inset Girt: where minimum air space is provided between the columns and exterior panels
Bypass Girt: makes a continuous run around the outside of a building’s columns, providing an air space equal to girt depth between the columns and exterior panels
