Everything You Need to Know About Our Steel Structures

Our steel structures are American made, built to withstand the elements, and built exactly the way you design them. Whether you need a residential garage, a commercial warehouse, or a custom agricultural building — our metal structures deliver reliable, long-term performance backed by professional installation.

We believe in complete transparency. Below we've broken down every major decision you'll face when ordering — from framing gauge to insulation options — so you can walk into the process informed and confident. If you'd rather talk it through, contact us and we'll design your building over the phone.

Tubular Steel Framing
Tubular Steel Framing

Our standard tubular steel framing is 14-gauge — sturdy, reliable, and the most popular choice for home garages and workshops. When you need more, our 12-gauge upgrade delivers added strength for wider clear spans, commercial applications, and high-wind environments.

14-Gauge Standard 12-Gauge Premium

Roofing Styles
Roofing Styles

Horizontal Roof — metal runs gable to gable. Standard on budget builds and simple carports. Can trap debris in seams over time.

Vertical Roof — metal runs peak to eave, shedding water and debris naturally. Standard on all Premium Series buildings. The right choice for any serious structure.

Horizontal — Budget Vertical — Premium
Roof Style Guide →
Siding & Wainscot
Siding & Wainscot

The same gauge chosen for your roof is used for your siding. Run the panels horizontal for economy or vertical for strength and appearance. Vertical siding also requires horizontal girts between each leg — adding real structural integrity, not just aesthetics.

Add a wainscot for a two-tone look that protects the lower panel and elevates curb appeal. Available in horizontal and vertical.

Insulation Options — R-Value Comparison

R-7 Insulation
R-7
2" Fiberglass

Cost-effective thermal resistance with solid sound absorption. Resists mold, mildew, and pests. A reliable entry-level option for garages used seasonally.

ENTRY LEVEL
R-9 Insulation
R-9
ThermaGuard

3-layer system: aluminum, polyethylene foam, and woven polypropylene. Industry-leading UV-resistant coating reduces condensation up to 95%. The most popular choice for metal garages and sheds.

MOST POPULAR
R-17 Insulation
R-17
Prodex

Closed-cell metalized insulation that is flame retardant, prevents 97% of radiant heat transfer, acts as insulation + radiant barrier + vapor barrier + air barrier. Maximum performance for year-round use.

Windows & Door Frameouts
Windows & Door Frameouts

We offer multiple window, entry door, and garage door options — but you're never required to use them. If you have a specific door size in mind, we can frame out the opening to your exact dimensions. Our team handles the details so your custom components fit perfectly on install day.

Door & Window FAQ →
Lean-Tos
Lean-Tos

Lean-tos are one of the best additions to any steel building — adding covered square footage at a fraction of the cost of main-span expansion. Don't skip the frameout and gable end. Without them, you'll have visible posts every 5 feet. A properly framed lean-to is a finished, functional space. With one, it's just a canopy.

Why Shop Benchmark Structures?

Free Delivery & Installation

Free Delivery & Installation

Every steel carport and garage includes free delivery and professional installation at no additional cost. Once your site preparation and any required permits are complete, typical lead times are 4–6 weeks. Most buildings are installed within 2–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the structure.

How It Works ›
Stress-Free Experience

A Simple, Stress-Free Experience

We built our customer portal to simplify the entire experience of buying a metal building. Track your building’s progress in real time, communicate directly with everyone involved, and access updates whenever it’s convenient for you. No waiting on callbacks or getting sent to voicemail—everything you need is in one place.

Payment Options

Payment Options That Work for You

We understand that every customer has different needs. Traditional financing for buildings over $15,000 typically requires an initial deposit, 50% of the remaining balance before materials are cut, and the final balance upon completion. For added flexibility, our Rent-to-Own program offers instant approval, no credit check, and affordable monthly payments on qualifying buildings up to $25,000.

Pros & Cons of Steel Buildings

An honest breakdown of what you get — and what to plan for.

What You Get

Built in Your Favor.

Delivered & Installed
No assembly required. Our certified crew handles everything from delivery to final anchor — same day in most cases.
Protects What Matters
Weather-resistant, pest-resistant. Steel doesn’t rot, warp, or deteriorate from moisture the way wood does.
Fully Customizable
Size, gauge, roof style, color, doors, windows, insulation — configure it exactly for your use case.
RTO Available
No credit check financing with monthly payments. Start with first month only upfront.
Expandable Over Time
Start with an open carport and enclose it later. Add walls, doors, and insulation as your needs grow.
40-Year Panel Warranty
Factory-backed warranty on steel panels. Built to last decades with minimal maintenance required.
Plan For This

Things to Know First.

Site Prep May Be Needed
Level ground required. Large buildings may need a concrete pad before delivery.
Permits May Be Required
Larger enclosed buildings often require a building permit. We offer engineer-certified units with stamped drawings when needed.
Condensation in Humid Climates
Southern humidity can cause condensation on metal surfaces. Insulation packages significantly reduce this.
Heat in Summer
Uninsulated steel buildings can get hot in direct Southern summer sun. Radiant barrier insulation addresses this effectively.
