FAQ

What type of steel do you use?

All of our steel is from the USA and is G90 galvanized for the highest protection.

Galvanized steel refers to a process that coasts mild steel with a layer of zinc to

provide good corrosion resistance. Our steel supply offers G90 Galvanized steel,

meaning that the zinc coating is a minimum of 0.90 ounces per square foot (coating

both sides of the sheet).

Depending on your requirements for your county, building codes, and environmental

needs, the gauge of the steel and engineering may change.

Based on your city’s height restriction, you may be limited to adding a Loft to

your model. Some of our models are predesigned to include a loft. When

considering adding a loft to your model, identifying your height restrictions will

Adding a Garage to your model will be calculated differently than livable square

footage.
