Steel Building in St. George, Utah

Metal Building Insulation supplied this prefabricated steel building for a customer in St. George, Utah, in May of 2021.

Now in use as an aircraft hangar, the durable, low-maintenance metal building is an expansive 50’x420’x14’ in size when raised and has a broad clear span that easily accommodates large wingspans. Comprised of ultra-durable steel components, the metal hangar has corrosion-resistant Galvalume T-shade roof with a 1:12 pitch providing protection from above.

The steel hangar has wall sheeting 3’ above and below the eaves along its left and right end walls, and it also has several climate-related enhancements added with regard for local climate characteristics and building codes. A 110-mph wind load is one such accommodation, and a 30-psf roof snow load is another.

Located in scenic southwestern Utah near the Arizona border, the city of St. George is part of Washington County. The community sits about an 80-mile drive from Kanab and 40 miles from Springdale.
