Olympia Steel Buildings Steel Girts and Purlins Out-Perform Pole Barns

Olympia Steel Buildings steel girts and steel purlins have a zinc galvanized coating applied at the steel mill to protect against rust. Olympia's steel girts will not rust, warp or bend and they are not subject to termites. Since Olympia buildings are made of steel, they are not subject to fire hazard, which can save you up to 35-40% on insurance costs.

Pole Barns Wooden Girts and Purlins

Pole barns use wooden girts and wooden purlins which will bow and warp. Bowing and warping of the wooden girts and purlins causes the screws to loosen and holes to widen in the wooden sheeting allowing the building to leak. Since the girts and purlins are made of wood which is organic and flammable, they are subject to fire hazard and termite infestation, which can cost you up to 35-40% in higher insurance premiums.
