Rigid Frame Metal Buildings

Rigid frame buildings are the most popular type of pre-engineered metal building system. Built around steel frames that span wide, open areas, they provide exceptional strength while eliminating the need for interior columns. This makes them ideal for large spaces like warehouses, manufacturing plants, agricultural barns, and retail buildings.

With Indaco Metals, every rigid frame system is tailored to your exact project. From clear-span designs for maximum floor space to multi-span frames for even larger facilities, our engineering ensures your building meets local codes, site conditions, and performance requirements. Manufactured locally, our steel systems offer shorter lead times and long-term durability in Oklahoma’s tough weather.

Customer Fit Snapshot

Rigid frame buildings are the best choice for anyone needing large, open-span structures:

  • Agricultural customers building barns, storage, or livestock facilities
  • Commercial owners needing showrooms, retail centers, or office warehouses
  • Industrial developers designing factories, distribution centers, or machine shops

If you need smaller-scale or portable storage, a cold-formed or post-frame building may be a better option. For long-term, heavy-duty projects, rigid frame delivers unmatched performance.
