What is a steel shed / pre-engineered building?

A steel shed or pre-engineered building (PEB) is a structure whose frame is designed, fabricated and finished in the workshop, then delivered to site and bolted together. Because the members are cut, welded, drilled and painted under factory conditions, site work reduces to erection — which is what makes steel sheds so much faster to put up than conventional construction.

The frame is usually built from tapered built-up I-sections, shaped so that each member carries more steel where the bending forces are greatest and less where they are not. That optimisation is the main reason a PEB frame is lighter, and therefore cheaper, than an equivalent structure made from uniform rolled sections.

Roof and wall cladding is typically profiled galvanized or colour-coated sheet, fixed to cold-formed C or Z purlins spanning between frames. Insulation, translucent roof lights, ventilators, cranes and mezzanine floors are all specified as required.

Unlike the other items on this site, this is a project rather than a stock item — every building is designed around your span, height, loading and site conditions, so the specification below describes typical ranges rather than a product on the shelf.
