I think most are the same. They use laminated wood beam construction with end buried in the ground or set on top of concrete with a steel bracket. They all manufacture wood frame rafters just like the lumber yard makes for houses. They use 3 2bys nailed together for the beams while alternating the seams of the boards. The rafter fits into the center of the lamination. The limiting factor is any wood going into the ground even though ground contact rated will someday rot or get termites.

We have a local cleary office in town and crews work out of there. A recent one they put up had a concrete floor and they used brackets to hold the beams down. The rafters were shipped in so I don't know who did them. I don't know if they did the concrete or subbed that out.

Standard pole barn construction nowadays.

I believe most give you a choice of 29 and 26 guage steel which is the standard stuff available.

A local lumber yard invested in the steel pressing equipment and has all kinds of colored steel on flat rolls. They cut to order for length at $2.29 a running foot (3 sq.ft.) for 26 guage. Home Depot sells the same in 2 colors for $2.50 a running foot with 12' lengths.

To me the steel siding/roofing is comparable for all buildings. It's the insulation, vapor barriers, and experience of the crew that makes a difference. Insulation and vapor barriers may be comparable as well.

Crew experience is hit or miss with all contractors that work over the road and Cleary and Morton and others all have the same problems. Help comes and goes as they work out of town a lot. They all have the usual collection of drunks and druggies that come and go. Hopefully they have a good foreman that has been around for a while.

We are thinking about a cleary this winter but I'd still like to find a steel framed building for piece of mind for termites and such. I'd like to know it is still standing when I'm dead and gone.
