Metal Columns

Columns form the backbone of every pre-engineered metal building. As vertical framing members, they transfer the weight of the roof, girts, and wall panels down into the foundation.

Indaco Metals fabricates columns to match the specific engineering requirements of your project, ensuring strength, stability, and a precise fit with other structural components.

Whether you’re building an agricultural barn, industrial warehouse, or residential workshop, properly sized columns are critical to long-term performance and safety. Indaco columns are manufactured with the same high-quality steel used across our building systems and delivered ready for installation.
