See What a Worldwide Steel Building Is Really Made Of
Many construction projects across the U.S. use steel imported from China. While it might be less expensive, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Structurally, steel imported from China can’t compare to the superior steel that’s made here in the United States. At Worldwide Steel Buildings, all our steel is made in the United States. This is one of the reasons we can confidently offer our 50-year structural warranty on every Worldwide Steel Building we sell!

Besides using the strongest steel on the market, Worldwide Steel Buildings have many other components that set them apart from the competition. Continue reading and experience the Worldwide Steel difference.
How Are Our Steel Buildings Different From the Rest?
It all starts with the framing. Unlike our competitors’ steel buildings, the sheet metal on a Worldwide Steel building is strictly for aesthetics. There are no sheet metal to sheet metal connections. Instead, our trusses are put on 10′-12′ centers, and the secondary framing on 2′ centers. This difference makes our buildings strong enough to withstand the biggest and the baddest that Mother Nature has to offer!

With that being said, one popular question we get from our customers is what are the differences between open web truss and rigid frame steel buildings? And how do they decide which is right for them? The answer is different for each customer, but to start, you’ll want to consider the following:
- The use of the building
- Size of the project
- Location of the building
- Weather conditions
- Budget
With those items in mind, let’s take a closer look at these two types of steel buildings to help make your decision clearer.
What Is an Open Web Truss Steel Building?
Our open web truss frames are ideal for clear spans up to 225 feet, which makes them a great option for commercial applications. Further, the gambrel truss option provides the look of an agricultural building or barn. Open web truss buildings are good choices for buildings regularly occupied by customers or employees. For instance buildings being used as:
- Retail stores
- Warehouses
- Sports facilities
- Aircraft hangars
Additionally, we have several designs of trusses and all of them allow installation of insulation, HVAC systems, sprinkler systems, sliding or overhead doors, skylight panels, and many other custom add-ons.
Our open truss building designs don’t require heavy equipment to install the trusses, but don’t be fooled by the easy assembly. This structure is developed and built to your local wind and snow building codes so that they can last through anything. They are made of 100% American steel and pre-punched and pre-welded before delivery.

What Is a Rigid Frame Steel Building?
The rigid frame structure is also made of 100% American steel. It allows for the maximum use of open space for storage and mobility. This style of building is a good choice for:
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing space
- Churches
- Agricultural storage for large equipment
Like the open truss building, our rigid frame building is perfect for the DIY project or contractor. The pieces come pre-drilled, pre-welded, and with a easy-to-read, step-by-step instruction manual.
Regardless of the style, we can design a building for your specific needs. We used MBS design software, and all of our buildings are made in an AISC-MB manufacturing facility. Everything from our raw materials to our manufacturing process is monitored by a third-party to ensure the highest level of quality control.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you’re still unclear which type of steel building is right for your project, the best way to make a decision is to consult the experts at Worldwide Steel Buildings. We work with our valued customers tirelessly in order to determine exactly what they need in a steel building.
