50X100X18 Steel Warehouse Building Kit – Metal Warehouse

Product Overview

The 50×100×18 warehouse configuration delivers 5,000 square feet of clear-span enclosed floor area designed for commercial storage and inventory containment. With a 50-foot uninterrupted structural span and 100 feet of interior depth, this size moves beyond compact warehouse formats and supports higher-density pallet storage with broader aisle spacing.

As a clear-span steel warehouse building kit, this configuration maintains uninterrupted interior floor clearance from sidewall to sidewall, supporting organized racking layouts and consistent aisle spacing.

Best for: Businesses requiring increased pallet storage density and wider aisle clearance within a structured commercial warehouse footprint.

This size is commonly selected when 3,000–4,000 square foot warehouse formats no longer provide sufficient pallet density or circulation width.

Frequently evaluated for regional distribution storage, contractor material warehousing, and commercial inventory containment across Ontario and other Canadian regions.

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: Mid-scale commercial warehouse storage applications

 

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

Printed structural and foundation drawings are included as part of the physical kit documentation for general permitting reference purposes. Documentation references general Canadian snow and wind load considerations commonly associated with this product type.

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 50-foot clear-span width increases lateral storage capacity compared to 40-foot warehouse formats, allowing wider racking rows and improved forklift maneuvering clearance. The 100-foot building length supports extended aisle runs, organized inventory segmentation, and dedicated receiving or staging areas within the enclosure.

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

Compared to a 40×80 warehouse configuration, the 50×100 format increases both width and depth, allowing higher storage density and improved operational flexibility while remaining below large industrial distribution scales.

 

Design Trade-Offs and Layout Priorities

This size is commonly selected when storage density and interior circulation flexibility are prioritized over compact site footprint. It supports broader racking layouts and material handling access while maintaining a manageable overall building width.

Facilities requiring dock-intensive logistics, automated high-bay systems, or cross-docking operations may evaluate larger 60-foot or 80-foot wide warehouse formats.

 

When Not to Choose This Size

This configuration may not be appropriate where limited site width restricts building expansion or where large-scale distribution throughput requires expanded staging zones.

Operations anticipating rapid industrial-scale growth may consider larger warehouse footprints.

 

Common Warehouse Applications

Typical use cases include:

• Palletized inventory storage
• Commercial distribution staging
• Contractor material warehousing
• Bulk goods containment
• Equipment and machinery storage
• Regional supply depots
