100X200X18 Steel Warehouse Building Kit – Industrial Storage

Product Overview

The 100×200×18 configuration delivers 20,000 square feet of large-format enclosed floor area intended for high-volume industrial storage and commercial warehouse applications. With a 100-foot clear structural span combined with 200 feet of interior depth, this format provides expansive floorplate capacity suitable for structured racking systems, bulk material containment, and wide equipment circulation.

The column-free structural system maintains full-width interior clearance from sidewall to sidewall, supporting organized aisle sequencing and large-scale storage organization across the full building width.

This configuration falls within the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) warehouse category commonly selected for steel distribution buildings and large-scale commercial warehouse construction projects across Canada.

Best for: Industrial operators requiring expanded storage scale, broad circulation clearance, and structured warehouse layouts within a 20,000 square foot footprint.

This 20,000 square foot prefab steel warehouse building is frequently evaluated for commercial and industrial storage projects across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and other Canadian regions where expanded interior capacity is required.

All items supplied are tangible components delivered as part of the steel building kit.

 

Quick Answers

• Product type: Physical prefabricated steel building kit
• Shipping method: Freight delivery
• Installation included: No
• Drawings included: Yes (printed documentation for permitting/reference)
• Best for: Large industrial warehouse and high-volume storage layouts

 

Structural Components & Materials

This warehouse kit includes:

• CSA A660 certified structural steel components
• Fabrication performed under CWB certification to CSA W47.1
• Clear-span rigid steel I-beam framing system
• 26-gauge Canadian-made steel wall and roof panels
• Secondary framing including purlins, girts, bracing, and connection hardware

Primary rigid frames are spaced according to structural design requirements determined at the time of order to meet applicable building code criteria.

Printed structural and foundation drawings are included as part of the physical kit documentation for general permitting reference purposes.

Structural documentation is prepared to reflect applicable Canadian building code requirements based on project location.

Foundation design, slab specifications, and interior load considerations are determined separately by the project team based on intended operational requirements.

Final structural design criteria are determined at the time of order based on project location and applicable building code requirements.

 

Size-Specific Performance Advantage

The 100-foot structural span significantly increases lateral storage capacity compared to mid-scale warehouse formats, supporting broader racking rows and improved equipment turning clearance. The 200-foot building depth enables extended aisle sequencing, staged inventory grouping, and long-run storage organization within a large-format structural grid footprint.

The wide-span rigid frame system supports large-format enclosure efficiency by reducing interior obstructions while maintaining balanced structural load distribution across the full 100-foot span.

The 18-foot wall height supports vertical pallet stacking and potential mezzanine integration subject to project-specific structural review.

The structural system is commonly specified for phased site development where future building expansion or adjacent structural additions may be evaluated as part of long-term planning.

Compared to an 80×150 warehouse configuration, the 100×200 format expands both width and interior depth, increasing storage scale and circulation flexibility within a significantly larger enclosed footprint.

 

Design Trade-Offs and Layout Priorities

This configuration prioritizes storage volume and interior movement efficiency over compact site footprint. The expanded structural span supports wider equipment positioning, while the extended depth enables separated inventory zones without interior columns.

This format is commonly configured with end-wall or sidewall overhead door systems and may support dock-style loading layouts subject to project-specific design.

Projects requiring automated logistics systems, higher vertical clearance, or specialized process infrastructure may evaluate alternative structural configurations depending on operational requirements.

 

When Not to Choose This Size

This format may not be appropriate where moderate storage volumes do not justify a 20,000-square-foot enclosure or where site width or municipal zoning restrictions limit large-format building footprints.

Operations requiring highly specialized industrial processing systems should evaluate configurations aligned with intended use scenarios.

 

Common Warehouse Applications

Typical use cases include:

• Large-scale pallet storage layouts subject to project-specific structural review
• Bulk goods containment
• Industrial inventory staging
• Steel distribution building layouts
• Commercial warehouse storage
• Regional material containment facilities
