Maximum Space, No Compromise

Clear-span sheds eliminate the internal columns that limit how you use a shed. Machinery can move freely, aircraft can be manoeuvred, vehicles can be parked without working around obstructions.

Iron Country clear-span sheds are designed using the HiTen CFBS platform. Cold-formed portal framing handles the majority of clear-span requirements. For very wide spans, hot-rolled UB frames and web-truss systems provide greater capability.

All sheds are engineered site-specifically. If you have a specific span requirement, contact us to discuss the right framing approach before starting your design.

Questions About Clear-Span Sheds

What is a clear-span building?

A clear-span building uses framing that spans the full width without any internal support columns. This gives you an unobstructed working space — ideal for large machinery, aircraft, vehicles or commercial storage.

How wide can a clear-span shed be?

Clear span capability depends on the framing system used. Cold-formed portal frames handle a significant range of spans. Hot-rolled UB frames and web-truss systems extend capability to very wide spans. Tell us the width you need and we'll advise the appropriate system.

Are clear-span sheds more expensive?

Wider spans require heavier framing, which increases material cost. However, the elimination of internal columns often improves usability and operational efficiency. Contact us to discuss your requirements and we'll prepare a site-specific quotation.

Can I get a clear-span shed with a mezzanine?

Mezzanine floors can be incorporated into clear-span sheds. Structural requirements are reviewed as part of the engineering process.
