Our Buildings

Limited Only by Your Imagination!

Pioneer Steel buildings are based on a standard sized panel width and length (approximately 2’ x 10’). How you put them together depends on you. Creating custom shapes and sizes is easy. Superior engineering will help you achieve the results quickly, efficiently, and with a minimum of labor. All the buildings are clear span; expansion and custom fitting will really depend on your specifications and needs.

Some Other Design Ideas to Consider

Open Sided

A single radius, partial arch structure, clear span with structural frame supports on open side. Standard sizes range from 19' wide to 50' wide with open side clearances of 8', 10', 12', 14', 16' and varying bay spacings.

Roof Systems

A single radius clear span low profile arch structure designed to act as a roof system utilizing conventional wall designs as sidewall support. Standard sizes range from 30' wide to 90' wide with heights in the 10' to 30' region.

Multiple Arch Spans

A series of single radius arch structures sharing a common structural support system as an interior wall. Standard sizes range from 30' to 70' wide for each individual span, joined side by side in any number of combinations from double span to triple span and upward.

Conveyor Covers

Either single radius or multiple radius clear span arch structures designed to cover standard single or double conveyors and acting as a gallery. Standard sizes range from 10' wide to 30' wide with heights and sidewall clearances to accommodate any combination of conveyor and walkway systems.

Accessories

Pioneer Steel buildings offer a diverse range of metal accessories suitable for all models. These include ventilators and skylights, providing ample air and light, along with an extensive array of doors for convenient access to your building. Furthermore, Pioneer makes construction easy with pre-drilled base plates, self-adhesive caulking strips, and insulation pins that are simple to install. With Pioneer, you can expect long-lasting durability, cost-effectiveness, and unparalleled ease in building your structure.

Baseplates

Pioneer Steel baseplates make building simple and economical with surprising DIY ease. These pre-drilled template-system plates are available in either the standard “U Channel” or our special maintenance-free Industrial Quality model. Whichever baseplate option you decide on will depend on your foundation requirements but each is designed to work with existing foundations (no excavation should be necessary), keeping easy, long-term relocation in mind.

Caulking

This optional feature — the Pioneer self-adhesive, wax-backed Caulking Strip — is made of high-quality Butyl Rubber that maintains its consistency in a wide range of temperatures. So easy to apply, these long-lasting strips provide the ultimate in additional protection against the elements and provide guaranteed peace of mind.

Bolts

Assembly is easy. Pioneer Steel buildings are assembled using one size of bolt throughout construction.

Pioneer Steel bolts are durable. We use only exclusive Leland JS1000™ plated bolts that meet and exceed 1,000 hours of salt spray testing! These bolts have an extremely powerful corrosion resistant coating that maximizes their life over anything else commonly available on the market today and are self-healing after scratching. The JS1000 is totally compatible with Aluminum (no Galvanic reaction), as well as other metals used in construction.

All Pioneer Steel buildings come with the standard 1000-hour Corrosion Test Bolts, but for those areas where even better protection from corrosion is an asset, such as coastal regions, we also have 1500-hour Corrosion Test Bolts available, providing you additional comfort and security knowing that your metal building is even more storm-resistant and protected from the elements.

The JS1000 coating process is non-toxic. In fact, the JS1000 bolt has been FDA approved for use with food products. In addition, the coating is hexavalent chromium free and R.O.H.S compliant. Both the United States and European countries demand that all plating meet this important regulation that restricts specific dangerous substances.

Service Doors

Pioneer Steel offers a wide variety of ready-made doors including Sectional Overhead, and various walk-in doors including our in-house 4x7 Service Door. Our doors are built to your particular specs, or you could install a standard door frame and door.

Ventilators

We understand the need for proper ventilation to not only help control the temperature inside your steel building, but also the humidity and air pressure. We have designed our ventilators, available in low-wind Turbo Vent or fixed Gravity Vent models, to fit easily and snugly into your steel building structure. The custom engineered fit guarantees a barrier from the elements and animals.

Skylights

Available in any colour you like to suit your tastes, these long-lasting, heavyweight fiberglass skylights provide up to 20 sq ft of natural light per panel to illuminate the interior of your steel building during daylight hours without using electricity. Our skylights are manufactured in 12, 16 and 24 oz weights.

Overhead Doors

Another space saver for accessing your steel building, are our overhead doors which feature:

THE STRENGTH TO KEEP OUT NOISE AND WEATHER: Commercial insulated doors stand up to the elements while dramatically decreasing exterior noise and enhancing the overall aesthetics of your building at the same time. Choosing one of our insulated doors will help increase energy savings, as our environmentally compliant polyurethane provides one of the highest R-Values available in sectional doors. Garage doors are made from steel that contains 80% recycled material. They are reinforced with roll-formed galvanized steel struts and double-end hinges, as required to meet wind load specifications and to comply with ANSI/DASMA 102-2004. The protective coating system is found on both the interior and exterior steel.

ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPLIANT POLYURETHANE CONSTRUCTION: The polyurethane foam in our garage door section is fully enclosed inside the steel skins. This design puts the insulation properties of polyurethane foam far ahead of polystyrene foam for performance and value. Polyurethane foam is a two-part system. It begins with two chemical blends that when mixed together expand and cure to fill the garage door panel. During the expansion, the foam completely fills the inside of the panel and becomes fully adhered to the steel skins of the garage door panel to form a composite structure that is of exceptional strength and rigidity. Polyurethane foams are very stable when encapsulated inside a garage door section. Insulating with polyurethane provides a superior product with higher insulation properties and a stronger unitized section.

HARD-WORKING HARDWARE: The track is 2" or 3" galvanized steel, depending on door size, with bracket mount for wood jambs or continuous reverse mounting for steel jambs. For angle-mount track, door widths are 2" wider than the opening. Track rollers are 2" or 3" case-hardened inner and outer steel races with 10-ball pre-lubricated bearings. Hinges, brackets and reinforcing struts are hot-dipped galvanized steel. Fasteners are placed for maximum corrosion resistance. Counterbalancing springs are torsion type, computer calibrated to match door load. This provides a 10,000-cycle life at the minimum; optional spring wires can achieve 25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 cycle requirements. Springs are wound from oil-tempered wire and mounted on a continuous cross header tube or solid shaft, as determined by torque load.

Insulation Pins

A necessity for anyone who wants to insulate their steel building themselves, these easy to attach pins screw directly on to the building kit bolts to help attach fiberglass insulation to your steel building’s structure. Insulating your steel building makes it suitable for year-round use.
