These buildings are versatile and highly customizable, from commercial facilities to agriculture, manufacturing, offices, workshops, and more. You can choose styles, dimensions, doors, windows, colors other custom options as per needs and specifications.

CLEAR SPAN BUILDINGS
BENEFITS
Benefits of Clear Span Metal Buildings
Clear span steel structures are superior to those made with wood or other materials for several reasons:
- Flexible & Adaptable – The versatility of steel for building design allows for more clear-span interior space and customization options. It’s also much easier to expand your clear span building as your space needs grow and change.
- Reliable & Durable – Clear span metal buildings won’t rot like wood and can withstand regular use and challenges from Mother Nature including wind, rain, snow, and lightning – they’re even more earthquake-resistant. And steel isn’t susceptible to mold, mildew, or termites, and it also happens to be much more fire-resistant than wood.
- Fast Construction & Installation– Our clear span warehouses and buildings require less time, labor, and energy resources to deliver and install than do stick-builds or other options. And American Metal Structures maintains some of the best installation lead times in the metal building industry!
- Easy to Maintain – Metal is easier to clean and needs less maintenance than stick-builds or other structures. And since the color is infused into the metal during the fabrication process, you won’t have the same peeling or fading paint issues that you’d face with a wooden building.
- Cheaper to Insure – Thanks to the superior strength, durability, and fire resistance of a metal building, your insurance costs may actually go down if you choose a steel structure over other options. That’s another cost benefit you get by choosing American Metal Structures!
- THE BEST Customer Support – American Metal Structures is about more than just selling you a great steel building. We’re about building real relationships with our customers that starts before the sale and lasts for a lifetime. We walk with you through the entire process, and we’ll be here anytime you need us, too. We’ve got the friendliest, most knowledgeable building specialists in the business!

Clear Span Building Sizes
What’s the best size for a clear span metal building? That depends entirely on how you want to use your facility! Some of our customers know exactly what building dimensions they need when they want to design a clear span construction. If you know exactly what you want, we can certainly help with that!
Many times, however, our customers are a little unsure about what size dimensions would be best for their particular needs. If you fall into that category, just reach out to us here at American Metal Structures, we’ll be glad to help! We’ll take the time to listen, and then we’ll work together with you to design the steel structure that’s best for both your needs AND your budget. Our clear span buildings typically start at 30’ wide, but we also commonly provide buildings that are 40’, 50’, or 60’ wide. Clear span building length often ranges between 40’ and 100’, but we can extend much longer if you need it. No matter your requirements, we can custom-design and craft a steel structure that will meet your specifications!
Design the Right Clear Span Building for You
One of the first things you need to decide is exactly how you plan to use your structure. You’ll want to consider how much space you’ll need to be able to accommodate your storage and other needs. Size is no object for us at American Metal Structures, either; we can provide you with a steel warehouse large enough to house everything from RVs to buses to tractors to combine harvesters! You can also choose from different style options, as well as from a full palette of color choices.
Speaking of colors and building designs, the only limit at American Metal Structures is your imagination.
