Worldwide Steel Building Prices, Reviews, Complaints & Company Overview

Worldwide Steel Buildings opened its first factory in 1983 and has been building steel trusses and secondary framing ever since. Thanks to operating their own manufacturing facility, customers enjoy factory-direct pricing.

The company uses American steel in all of its trusses and welds them in precision jigs for improved accuracy. Components are then double-dipped for improved rust protection, with a 50-year warranty that is unmatched by any other manufacturer in the industry.

For greater strength and accuracy, Worldwide Steel uses 20-gauge galvanized rolls to make its 2 x 4 girts and 2 x 6 purlins. And, the 2' centers means there's no screwing sheet metal to sheet metal. All fastenings are to supports, which provides the greatest stability.
