You're designing a warehouse, shop, or industrial building and pre-engineered metal buildings cover most of the market — but the frame type depends on your clear span, eave height, and bay spacing, and every manufacturer's catalog reads differently. This configurator draws the cross-section for your parameters and shows which rigid frame profiles work at your width. Use it to confirm your building section before you send the RFP to metal building suppliers.
Purpose: reveals how building width forces you into interior columns — and which frame type gives the widest clear span for a given width.
