Worldwide Steel Buildings Review

ByIan Updated on04/25/2024

Worldwide welds all of its trusses in precision jigs for extreme accuracy, and they double dip the trusses in rust-proof coating to further improve its durability. And their open web truss framing is backed by a 50-year warranty – something you won’t get with other companies in the industry.

The heavy-duty design of Worldwide’s trusses come in four sections that are easy to bolt and handle. The great thing about this system is that it eliminates the need to rent large equipment to set the trusses, saving you even more time and money.

All 2 x 4 girts and 2 x 6 purlins are constructed with 20-gauge galvanized rolls and inspected to ensure top quality.

Did we mention that all of their buildings are designed to your local wind and snow requirements?

They also meet all MBMA Metal Buildings Systems Manual requirements and your local buildings code.

What Does the Building Process Entail?

Building kits come with all of the basic components needed to construct your building, and you can customize your build to your liking (more on that soon).

Here’s how the building process works:

Anchoring the Legs

It all starts with anchoring the legs of the building into simple piers, and you can pour these yourself. The girts are then attached to clips (which have been pre-welded for convenience) on two-foot centers. The centers are already edge mounted for added durability. These can be put on with self-tapping, self-drilling screws.

Laying and Setting the Girders and Purlins

After the legs are in place, the girder part of the truss can be laid out and bolted together. The girders can then be lifted and bolted to the legs.

Remember, all trusses are welded in Worldwide’s jigs for extreme precision – you never have to worry about holes being misaligned.

The purlins will be attached using the same process as the girts.

You’ll also need to frame in any windows and doors your building has using the material included in your kit.

Framing

Unlike other steel building manufacturers, Worldwide does not design their buildings using sheet-metal-on-sheet-metal connections, which can leak over time. The design of the trusses and secondary framing is what makes their building so strong and able to stand up to Mother Nature – whether she throws snow, rain, wind or fire at you.

Sheeting and Roof

The sheet metal is strictly for aesthetic purposes. Worldwide offers 80,000 psi sheeting for the walls, which use self-sealing and self-drilling fasteners.

The roof and all of the side walls are already cut to length, which saves you time on your build.

And if you plan on insulting the building, you can go ahead and place the insulation right between the framing and the sheeting.

Once the walls are in place, you can install the roof panels. You’ll be happy to hear that Worldwide’s roof panels come with a 40-year warranty.

The Finishing Touches

Each kit comes with all of the extras you need, including:

• Heavy-duty 16-gauge door framing for overhead doors
• Closures for the inside and outside to keep wildlife out of the building

An erection manual is also included, so you know exactly how to erect your building.

All kits also come with the deluxe trim package, and you can customize the color of your building before purchasing your kit.
