What warranty coverage typically applies to the steel building materials and components, and what maintenance is recommended?

Quick Answer

TruSteel backs every red-iron or galvanized steel mini storage building kit—and every larger warehouse or hangar—with a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty on roof and wall panels and the primary columns. Keep that coverage by washing sheets yearly, clearing gutters, and inspecting seals, trim, and door hardware after major storms.

Detailed Answer

Every TruSteel red iron steel building kit—from our steel mini storage building kits and climate-controlled storage building kits to a 200×300 distribution center—is backed by a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers the roof and wall panels’ finish and the primary columns against structural failure. The warranty stays in force when you assemble the bolt-up kit per the county-specific stamped building and foundation plans and follow routine upkeep. Maintenance is straightforward.

Twice a year—and after heavy storms—wash panels with mild soap and water to remove dirt, salt, and pollen. Clear gutters and downspouts so water can flow freely away from the slab. Walk the roof and walls; tighten or replace any loose fasteners and check for cracked sealant at trim, flashing, or roof terminations. Touch up scratches with the matched paint supplied at delivery. Lubricate roll-up doors and verify weather seals and insulation stay snug, especially in climate-controlled units with higher R-values.

These quick tasks take only a weekend yet protect your 40×100 mini storage kit, 100×120 aircraft hangar, or 100×200 warehouse steel building for decades. Regular care keeps the warranty valid, preserves curb appeal, and avoids costly corrosion repairs.
