Frequently Asked Questions

There are several questions that you may have about our products and services:

Yes, for liability purposes, add-ons are subject to approval by the main office. You may be charged a return trip fee.

Yes, it is possible to attach a metal building to an R&B Metal Structure building; However, for liability purposes, we are only able to add on to an existing R&B Metal Structures.

Yes, the ground needs to be as level as possible to make sure that the installation is the best it can be. We do have 4′′-6′′ of adjustment in case the lot is slightly un-level. We can also cut the legs up to 12” for $15 per post – please add cut post fees to the order.

Our scheduling department will contact the customer 7-10 days before installation to schedule a date and time. Please check our lead time map located on the website, here, the lead times are what most customers are experiencing in that area.

We measure our metal buildings by width, length, and height (W’ x L’ x H’). For example, 18′ x 20’ is the frame size at the ground. Our metal buildings have a 6″ overhang on both roof ends, making the roof 1′ longer than the base rails. When measuring the width of your metal building, you’ll measure from the outside of one base rail to the opposite rail.

We install buildings on 20’ posts.

Single structures – you can get anything from a 10′-40′ wide standard, and a 30′-60′ Widespan. Barn style structures – you can get up to 108′ wide (24′ x 60′ x 24′) Barns

The pad size should be the same length and width as the building. For example, 18′ x 20′ x 6′ buildings will need a slab 18’ wide and 20’ long.

We use three different kinds of anchors:

Ground – requires 30″ Rebar Anchors and 36″ Auger Anchors (Wind Anchors)
Asphalt – requires 30″ Rebar Anchors and 36″ Asphalt Anchors (Wind Anchors)
Concrete – requires 6″ expansion bolts)

Every metal carport or metal building comes fully braced and anchored, no additional braces are required.

On most of our standard buildings, we use 30″ corner braces and 4′ roof braces. On our larger metal structures, we use 4′ corner braces and 8-foot roof braces. All our Metal Buildings come standard with all of the necessary bracings.

No. Our Dealers are our only sales agents, and we are very loyal to our dealers. We work directly with our Dealers to provide our customers with the highest quality service, allowing our customers to get a first-hand look at our products on display, viewing our quality and workmanship directly.

Yes, if you choose to, you may pay in full at the time of order.

Our roll-up door measurements are width x height. Therefore, when you see a 5’x7’, this means the roll-up door is 5’ wide and 7’ high.
