QUICK and EASY ASSEMBLY of Your Olympia Steel Buildings Self Storage Building
Olympia Steel Buildings self-storage, mini-storage and mini-warehouse buildings are quick and easy to erect. Precision fabrication and concise assembly
drawings allow Olympia self-storage steel buildings to be erected quickly, minimizing
labor costs, and units can be easily expanded to accommodate future growth.
After the foundation for the building has been poured and the framing materials laid out for the entire building in the location where they will be erected, the hardware is attached to the metal framing and the framing is connected. The steel sheeting for the interior walls is attached to the metal framing and each sidewall panel is raised into place and connected to the
previous wall panel with the overhead girts.
Purlins connect the framing of the sidewalls and overhead girts connect the sidewalls to the interior walls. Leveling of steel building components should occur throughout this process to insure that the building remains square. Temporary bracing is attached for stability during steel building erection and later removed once all of the framing is secured in place.
All framing is secured to the buildings foundation and additional framing is added to secure door openings. Steel sheeting is first fastened to the end walls, then installed between the doors. An “L” shaped trim piece is installed over door openings and a foam closure is fitted on the trim piece.
Roof construction begins with a closure piece placed at the edge of the steel building above the door
openings on the metal framing. This closure piece is covered with a mastic adhesive strip. A moisture barrier is rolled into place with a mastic strip on the ridge of the previous piece of steel sheeting enabling a watertight seal when the roof sheeting is screwed down with the fasteners. This procedure is repeated for the length of the roof. Finally, the remaining roof trim is attached and the doors
are installed.
