Light-Gauge & Tube Steel

Light-Gauge, Cold-Formed and Tube-Steel Buildings

Lighter-weight metal-building systems that are frequently used for residential-scale structures, garages, workshops, carports and smaller commercial buildings.

Light-gauge, cold-formed and tube-steel framing systems can be efficient choices for a range of building sizes. The suitability of each system depends on span, load, engineering, code and intended use. Arcco Group evaluates the requirements of the project before recommending a system.
