Materials & build-quality talking points
Framing (gauge):
-
They reference 14-gauge as standard and 12-gauge as heavy-duty, and tie 20-year rust-through framing warranty to 12-gauge.
Paneling:
-
Their “Features” page highlights 26-gauge paneling and mentions paint warranty and color count 14 different colors available
-
Engineering / certification
Many buildings can be engineer-certified to meet state/local codes depending on your location and the design loads (wind/snow). Share your install ZIP code and desired size so we can quote the correct certification.”
Their blog/product pages repeatedly state their buildings are Engineer-Certified to meet state/local codes
Warranties
-
20-year rust-through warranty (framing) on 12-gauge framing (not on 14-gauge).
-
1-year workmanship/maintenance warranty covering certain issues (leaks where metal is fastened to frame, damaged delivered pieces, panels/trim/tubing/doors/braces/repairs, etc., with listed exclusions).
-
Wind warranty depends on anchoring / options — their order form notes “standard rebar rod” doesn’t provide wind warranty, and proper anchoring systems can provide wind rating/warranty.
Always add “Warranty terms/exclusions vary by design and install conditions—final warranty details are in your signed order paperwork.”
Anchoring + site requirements (simple customer-friendly)
Their recent blog guidance summarizes anchor selection by surface type:
-
Concrete slab: wedge anchors
-
Asphalt: rebar or specialty asphalt anchors
-
Dirt / gravel: mobile home anchors screwed into the ground
