200 MPH Wind Load Available

When you need a steel building designed to withstand winds of up to 200 mph, SteelBuildingSupplier can do it.

Properly engineered and constructed, a steel building can hold up well against winds as high as 200 mph. This can be especially helpful in coastal areas subject to hurricanes and typhoons.

In addition to having your building designed by SteelBuildingSupplier for a 200 mph wind load, you also need to take the following into account.

• The building must be constructed according to the specifications provided by SteelBuildingSupplier. Ideally you should have the building constructed by a crew experienced with proper steel building assembly techniques.
• The foundation must be designed to resist the high loads caused by 200 mph winds. You are strongly encouraged to work with a foundation engineer familiar with the unique aspects of steel building construction. We currently recommend Salsa Steel Corporation for designing foundations located within the United States. In those areas not served by Salsa, we can sometimes recommend an alternate engineering service, including for some locations in Canada.
• Withstanding high wind loads requires that a building be fully enclosed during the time of high wind exposure. When a door is left open or if a closed door collapses, the pressure change can result in building failure. We can provide metal walk doors rated for up to 150 mph.
  
  Overhead doors are particularly susceptible due to their large surface areas. Although we can provide wind rated coil overhead doors that can withstand up to 130 m.p.h. winds, we advise you to work with a local door supplier who can both supply doors that meet your local building code and install the doors correctly to achieve maximum wind resistance.
• Certain accessory items like vents and skylights are not recommended for buildings that will likely be subject to high winds. Windows should be wind-rated to meet local building code requirements. You should work with a local supplier if you need wind-rated windows for your building.
