We offer the best of commercial, agricultural and residential doors. Your experienced sales person will help you determine which door type is best suited for your needs and help with door placement.

Sliding Doors Our popular metal-framed sliding doors are customized for each building. Walk-In Doors Steel walk-in doors come insulated and can be purchased in sizes up to 4' wide.
Laminated Posts
The structural integrity in our buildings starts with our posts. Consider this: our post capacity is 30% stronger than the conventional nailed post.
Each engineered post section is laminated with galvanized metal truss plates, bottom section pressure treated for 6' burial and extends to a minimum of 2' above finished grade, factory assembled to ensure longevity*. Our posts are engineered as is required by the National Building Code of Canada.
* Post capacity determined by research conducted by Building Alternatives Inc. at the University of Manitoba in accordance with ASAE
Walls & Insulation
Walls Our walls are built for resilience with 2" x 4" or 2" x 6" strapping placed 2' on centre forming a rigid wall system. Insulation If you are looking to insulate your building project, walls can be insulated to R28 and ceilings to R40 as an option. When you purchase an insulated building, the interior walls come metal or PVC lined with a vapor barrier.
Windows

Roof Purlins
We use a stronger roof purlin system than many others - 2' x 6', 2' on centre-providing for increased sturdiness. A coloured white roof is available at no extra charge.
