80X200X18 Steel Warehouse Building Kit – Wide-Span Building

Product Overview

The 80×200×18 configuration delivers 16,000 square feet of enclosed floor area within a wide-span steel warehouse structure designed for industrial storage and distribution-style applications.

The column-free structural system maintains full-width interior clearance across the 80-foot span while extending through 200 feet of uninterrupted interior depth. This 16,000 square foot clear-span warehouse building provides extended storage sequencing within an 80×200 structural format suited to large-format commercial and industrial warehouse construction projects.

As a pre-engineered warehouse enclosure within the PEMB category, this configuration is frequently evaluated for industrial steel distribution facilities, contractor supply depots, and large-scale commercial storage platforms across Canada.

This 80×200 configuration is commonly specified when mid-scale warehouse formats no longer support extended storage runs or distribution-style sequencing. It provides increased depth without expanding structural width beyond 80 feet, making it suitable for phased site development and long-format warehouse planning.

Best for: Industrial storage operations requiring extended interior depth and wide-span structural clearance within a single large-format enclosure.

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

• Shipping method: Freight delivery
• Installation included: No
• Drawings included: Yes (printed documentation for permitting/reference)
• Best for: Large-format industrial warehouse and distribution layouts

 

Structural Components & Materials

This industrial 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, connection plates, clips, and 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 and final design criteria are prepared based on confirmed project location and applicable Canadian building code requirements.

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

 

Size-Specific Performance Advantage

The uninterrupted 80-foot structural span combined with 200 feet of interior depth creates a large-format metal warehouse structure capable of supporting structured pallet racking layouts subject to project-specific structural review.

The wide-span rigid frame system supports column-free interior clearance while maintaining balanced structural load distribution across the full 80-foot width.

Compared to an 80×150 warehouse layout, this configuration extends interior sequencing capacity by an additional 50 feet without increasing structural width.

Compared to a 100×150 industrial steel building, this format prioritizes extended depth efficiency while maintaining moderate lateral span.

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

This format is frequently selected where industrial steel buildings 200 feet in length are required to accommodate long-run storage operations and structured distribution flow.

 

Design Trade-Offs and Layout Priorities

This configuration favors extended interior depth and distribution-style sequencing over maximum structural width expansion.

The 80-foot span provides substantial lateral clearance, while the 200-foot building length supports segmented storage zones and structured aisle progression without interior columns.

Projects requiring expanded lateral span beyond 80 feet may evaluate 100-foot-wide warehouse configurations.

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.

 

When Not to Choose This Size

This configuration may not be appropriate where site depth restrictions limit 200-foot building length.

Projects requiring expanded structural width beyond 80 feet for lateral material flow may evaluate larger-span warehouse formats.

Operations requiring specialized interior structural systems or unique high-bay clearance demands should review structural requirements prior to specification.

 

Common Industrial Applications
