Rhino Steel Building Systems

Over two million people in the U.S. own horses. These animals represent a large investment of time and money. Protecting these assets means sheltering these magnificent animals in the best facilities possible, both for the horses and for the owners who love them. STEEL BUILDINGS FOR RIDING ARENAS Covered or indoor riding arenas are a great solution in areas of the country where the climate can adversely affect the equestrian industry. Rainy or extremely hot or cold weather can interfere with riding lessons or horse training, reducing not only the effectiveness of the training, but also reducing potential income for the trainer. With a covered open-air horse arena or an indoor climate-controlled steel riding arena, you have the ability to work with horses and train year round. Steel riding arenas can withstand the elements, provide lighting for late workouts, offer greater protection for the animals and their riders, and include extra storage for tack and feed. RHINO covered arena kits can accommodate a wide variety of both open and enclosed horse riding arenas. Steel horse barns, hay sheds, shelters, offices, stables, and arenas can also be adapted to fit your specific needs, including options like skylights or wall lights, insulation, and various partitions for horse stalls or feed storage areas.

RHINO Steel Building Systems is a provider of premium prefabricated steel buildings. All our prefab metal building kits are cut to length, welded to shape, drilled, and punched at the factory. The “kit” is shipped from the nearest shipping point directly to the job site for assembly. Every piece of our metal building packages for sale is clearly marked for easy identification. The whole building is erected step-by-step in a logical manner using high-strength bolts and self-drilling screws, much like using a giant erector set making our prefab buidings easy to assemble. A RHINO metal building typically requires one third less time to build than other structures, providing both speed and affordability over traditional construction stick-built methods. Many do-it-yourselfers opt to erect the framing themselves with a few friends, saving time and money on the construction project. The applications for RHINO’s prefabricated metal buildings are almost endless for prefab buildings: Agricultural buildings like barns, dairies, equipment storage buildings, hay sheds, offices, riding arenas, shop buildings, stables, and tack rooms Aircraft hangars for planes, jets, and helicopters Auto, motorcycle, boat, and recreational vehicle dealerships Automotive, motorcycle, tractor, or boat repair shops Ballrooms Bowling alleys Churches and other religious facility buildings Commercial steel buildings Indoor equestrian riding arenas Indoor swimming pools Industrial buildings Manufacturing facilities Medical clinics Mini-storage facilities Multi-purpose garages Offices Personal workshop buildings Personal storage buildings and shops Recreational and sports facilities Restaurants Retail stores Schools Sports facilities Strip malls Suburban hobby huts and home offices Veterinary clinics Warehouses Welding shops And more RHINO steel buildings provide extra protection from rain and condensation, lightning, fire, high winds, mold, heavy snows, earthquakes, aging, and termites and other vermin. All RHINO framing is guaranteed to meet or exceed all existing local building loads and codes for the lifetime of the prefab building structure. Not only are RHINO’s prefabricated steel buildings highly sophisticated in design, but also produced with high-quality steel materials. Steel is actually much “greener” than many traditional building techniques. Steel is not only the most recycled material in the world, it can be recycled again and again without losing any of its innate properties or strength. RHINO framing contains an average of 90.7% recycled content. With the optional RHINO Pro-Value Insulation Package, these structures can also be super energy efficient, slashing utility bills by as much as 50%. Steel’s superior strength allows RHINO prefab steel buildings to achieve column-free designs, for maximum interior flexibility. Open, spacious interiors can span 200’ or more without needing any cumbersome support columns. With one supporting column in the center of the structure, RHINO metal structures can be up as wide as 480’. Our metal buildings can be up to 40’ tall even on a standard design, while even taller structures are possible with a custom quote. Any length required is possible. Future expansion is simple and economical: simply add more RHINO steel framing at either end wall. Reduced cost of construction, new and environmentally friendly materials, and precise manufacturing standards make RHINO an excellent choice whatever your building project. All prefab building systems are not alike. Discover The RHINO Difference for yourself.

RHINO metal barns are prefabricated as kits with factory-precise components for quick and easy on-site assembly. All the primary framing pieces are cut, welded, and drilled for fast bolt-together construction. The remaining framing components and roof and wall panels are applied with self-drilling screws. Many do-it-yourselfers assemble and erect the framing themselves with the help of a few friends, just like an old-fashioned barn raising. RHINO steel barns and agricultural buildings work well for many farming and ranching applications, including dairy barns, hay barns and sheds, heavy equipment and commodity storage, horse stables, riding arenas, grain storage, workshops, and more. They protect your livestock and equipment assets from the elements, while providing decades of trouble-free, water-tight service. A RHINO steel barn is fire resistant, lightning resistant, strong, durable, termite resistant, waterproof, and practically maintenance free. RHINO framing is guaranteed to meet or exceed all local building codes and loads for the life of the structure. RHINO steel barns can be built with a variety of door and window options, including large overhead doors to accommodate heavy duty farming equipment. An assortment of natural lighting options are available, such as high-strength sidewall lighting and skylights. Although most people choose our durable and attractive steel panels and trim to finish the exterior of their steel-framed barns, stone, brick, stucco, wood, or other finishing materials can be added to achieve a variety of exterior styles. With so many standard selections and extras available from RHINO, your steel barn can be customized to fit your unique needs and preferences. See our Options Page for more information. The interior of your metal barn kit can also be modified with a choice three standard liner panels and partitions styles, available in a variety of attractive colors. You may want to adapt your barn with partitions for horse stables or dairy cow stalls, a separate tack and equipment room, or even an insulated office area. In fact, the entire structure can be insulated if desired for years of energy-efficient, climate-controlled comfort. RHINO steel barns promise space and lots of it. The clearspan capabilities of our steel buildings make them ideal for all farming and ranching structures. Standard buildings can span up to 150’ without any confining interior columns, but custom quotes can provide building spans of 200’ or more. Prefabricated barns can be up to 40’ high on a standard package, or can be designed to be even taller with a custom quote.

The term “pole barn” is sometimes misused, causing confusion when trying to find the right product. People who ask about a pole barn may actually be envisioning a steel building and simply using an incorrect term. To determine which structure will better fit your needs, let’s take a look at the differences between pole barns and RHINO metal buildings. WHAT IS A POLE BARN? A pole barn uses wood beams or “poles” buried in the ground as the main support structure for the outer walls and roof trusses. Features that are common to most pole barns include all wood poles as the support beams and a metal shell for the outer walls. Sometimes a concrete foundation is added, but many will have a simple dirt floor. WHAT IS A RHINO METAL BUILDING? A RHINO rigid-frame metal building is constructed by attaching steel columns to steel rafter beams to create a single “frame.” Frames are attached to the foundation every 20’ or 25’. The space between two frames is called a “bay.” The steel frames are connected across the bay with steel members called “girts” on the wall columns and “purlins” on the roof rafters. Then exterior sheathing is attached to the girts and purlins with self-drilling screws. Many people often mistakenly call these buildings “metal pole barns.” WHY SHOULD A RHINO STEEL BUILDING BE USED IN PLACE OF A POLE BARN? RHINO steel buildings differ from pole barns in that the structure is made entirely of prefabricated steel components, right down to the support beams. A steel frame won’t rot and deteriorate. Wood will. Our metal buildings are termite-resistant and mold resistant. Wood isn’t. RHINO metal buildings can span 200’ or more without needing interior load-bearing columns or walls. Clearspan options are extremely limited with a pole barn. A properly-grounded steel building is less likely to be damaged by lightning than a wood structure. Prefabricated steel buildings are connected with high-strength bolts and screws that hold tight, keeping the building straight and strong. Wood structures are connected with nails and staples that loosen and pull out over time as wood contracts and expands with its ever-changing moisture content, causing the framing to shift, warp, sag, and creep. This can also cause water leaks, damaging items in the building. Steel buildings are practically maintenance free; wood pole barns are maintenance intensive. The wooden poles are buried deep in the ground, which means they will shift and eventually decay. As the foundation poles shift, a pole barn may have to be straightened every five to seven years, a process which can cost several thousand dollars. Steel is noncombustible and cannot add fuel to a fire. Wood framing is easily ignited and certainly adds fuel to a structural fire. Steel is the most recycled material on the planet. It can be recycled over and over without losing any of its inherent properties. RHINO’s buildings contain an average of 89.5% recycled content. Chemically-treated wood often cannot be recycled and can leach dangerous chemicals into the ground when dumped into landfills. Copper sulfate pressure treated wood is considered unsafe for livestock. Steel members are manufactured to be straight, uniform, and consistent. Wood poles and beams are inconsistent, with each framing piece varying in strength, quality, and performance when built— and changing constantly with moisture and soil variation after the building is completed. RHINO’s prefabricated building kits have all parts marked for easy identification and framing erection. The RHINO kit arrives at the job site ready to assemble. In most pole barn packages, however, pieces are not sorted or marked, causing confusion and delays. RHINO buildings come complete with three sets of engineer-stamped plans and a Letter of Certification, which makes obtaining building permits quick and easy. Pole barns may come without professional plans or documentation and permitting is often difficult, and impossible in some locales. Steel buildings often enjoy insurance savings over wood structures, sometimes as much as 30% or more. RHINO wall and roof panels are 26-gauge steel. Most pole barns use 29-gauge sheeting, which is about 30% lighter by weight. The corrugation pattern on RHINO’s steel panels is 1-14” deep, compared to the 58” deep corrugation typical on pole barn sheathing. The deeper the corrugation, the stronger the panel. In addition, attaching metal panels to the wood poles increases the likelihood of rust, so sheeting may have to be periodically replaced. A pole barn is not considered a permanent structure. At best, they may last 15-20 years with expensive maintenance. A RHINO steel building will last decades longer than a pole barn. Our framing is guaranteed to meet or exceed all local building codes for the lifetime of the structure. A steel building increases the value of your property, and retains its structural integrity and value for decades. A pole barn is not usually even considered a property asset. Pole barns have truss-type rafters which not only take up building space, but create a perfect place for birds to roost and nest, spreading their droppings over your building’s contents— and depositing the possibility of Avian flu. RHINO’s premium steel buildings are clearly a better value than pole barns.
