Truss Frame Metal Buildings

Truss frame buildings use welded steel trusses instead of rigid frame beams, creating a lighter but highly efficient structure. This design allows for wide, open interiors at a lower cost, making truss frames especially popular in agricultural and rural applications.

The open-web design reduces overall steel use while still delivering impressive span capabilities, often without the need for interior columns. Indaco Metals fabricates truss frames to project-specific requirements, ensuring each building is engineered for durability, code compliance, and Oklahoma’s demanding weather conditions.

Customer Fit Snapshot

Truss frame buildings are the best fit for:

  • Farmers and ranchers building hay barns, livestock shelters, and equipment storage
  • Equestrian facilities needing wide, open-span riding arenas
  • Rural property owners looking for economical, multi-use buildings

If your project requires very large spans (over 100 feet) or heavy industrial loads, a rigid frame system may be the better choice. For agricultural and light commercial needs, truss frames provide excellent strength at a lower cost.
