Straight Wall Buildings

Metal straight wall buildings are perfect for use in multiple applications.

Straight Wall Building Styles

 

We offer several different styles of straight wall steel buildings, each with unique traits to suit your specific needs. These structures are available with clear-span frames, allowing you to have an unobstructed interior, multi-span frames that feature interior bearings, and lean-to frames, which serve as excellent additions to existing structures.

These straight wall building designs are perfect for use as arenas, hangars, garages, warehouses, farm structures such as barns, storage for crops, livestock housing, and more.

Clear-Span Frames

This style of frame is used primarily when an unobstructed interior is required in your straight wall building. It is ideal for creating equestrian arenas, indoor soccer centres, ice rinks, pools, aircraft hangars, warehouses and more. They don’t have interior column supports, creating free space to store items, operate machinery, and house recreational facilities.

Double Slope, Tapered Column Frame

This structure features tapered columns and a double slope roof.

  • Available Widths: 30’ (9.14m) – 200’ (60.96m)
  • Available Heights: 8’ (2.43m) – 60’ (18.28m)

Multi-Span Frames

A steel straight wall building with a multi-span frame works best in structures where unobstructed space is not required and utilizing an interior bearing is feasible. Additionally, for structures with a span of more than 100’ (30.48m), installing an interior bearing can help to reduce overall building costs. For all of these straight wall frame styles, the interior columns can be spaced from 30’ (9.14m) – 100’ (30.48m) apart.

Straight Wall Buildings FAQs

Toro straight wall buildings are offered with clear-span frames, multi-span frames, and lean-to frames. Clear-span designs remove interior columns for maximum open space, multi-span designs introduce interior bearings when columns are acceptable, and lean-to frames attach to an existing structure to extend usable area. Toro straight wall buildings are offered with clear-span frames, multi-span frames, and lean-to frames. Clear-span designs remove interior columns for maximum open space, multi-span designs introduce interior bearings when columns are acceptable, and lean-to frames attach to an existing structure to extend usable area.

Choose a clear-span frame when you need a fully open interior without columns, such as for arenas, equestrian facilities, indoor sports centers, pools, aircraft hangars, warehouses, or equipment maneuvering areas. This frame type is built specifically to keep the interior unobstructed for operations, storage, and sightlines.

A single-slope frame uses a roof that pitches in one direction, while a double-slope frame uses a peaked roof profile. Both are available in clear-span and multi-span options, and your selection typically depends on drainage preferences, building aesthetics, and the interior clearance you want near the sidewalls.

Straight-column frames maintain a consistent column profile, while tapered-column frames use columns that vary in depth to better match structural demand. Tapered designs are commonly selected for larger spans and higher load performance, and the page lists tapered options across both single-slope and double-slope configurations.

The page shows straight wall building frame options engineered from smaller widths up to very large spans, including clear-span and multi-span designs. Certain double-slope tapered column frames are shown up to 200 feet wide, depending on frame type and project requirements.

A multi-span straight wall frame is ideal when fully open space isn’t required and interior columns are acceptable. This approach can improve cost efficiency for wider buildings, and the page notes that adding an interior bearing can help reduce overall cost for larger spans. Interior columns can be spaced widely to preserve functionality.

For Toro’s multi-span straight wall buildings, the page notes interior columns can typically be spaced about 30 feet to 100 feet apart, depending on the design and requirements. This allows you to balance cost efficiency with interior usability and circulation.

The Long Bay option uses an open web truss subframe, which can make it easier to run mechanical and electrical systems while still providing roof support. The page indicates it can create up to 65 feet of unobstructed interior space, making it useful when you want fewer interruptions while keeping a supported roof design.

A lean-to frame is typically used to expand or extend an existing structure, such as adding storage, an office area, or a covered workspace. Because it connects to the existing building frame, it’s a common choice when you need extra space without building a standalone structure.

The page indicates lean-to frames can be built up to 100 feet wide and can be configured as either clear-span or multi-span. Heights are also available across a wide range, making lean-tos practical for both small additions and large-scale expansions, depending on your existing building and site layout.
