Girts

Girts are a critical part of every pre-engineered metal building system. Installed horizontally between columns, they add rigidity to sidewalls and endwalls while creating a secure attachment point for wall panels. Indaco Metals fabricates girts in standard Cee or Zee shapes, tailored to match your building’s span and design.

By reinforcing the building envelope, girts help transfer loads to the frame, resist wind pressure, and extend the life of the structure. Whether you’re building an agricultural barn, commercial facility, or residential workshop, properly sized girts are essential to structural stability and performance.

FAQs

What’s the difference between sidewall and endwall girts?
Sidewall girts run the length of the building; endwall girts reinforce the building’s ends.

Should I use C or Z girts?
Both are common; selection depends on design and engineering loads.

Can girts be pre-punched?
Yes—pre-punched girts speed installation and ensure alignment.
