Steel trusses are engineered to deliver superior strength, accuracy and long-term performance. They allow for wider clear spans, reduced maintenance and consistent structural integrity compared to traditional materials. Steel trusses are ideal for agricultural, commercial and industrial buildings where durability, load capacity and design flexibility are essential.
Why Steel Trusses
Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.
More headroom & storage
Fewer trusses and an open web free up valuable overhead space for storage and equipment.
Faster to install
Steel truss systems typically go up faster than stick-built wood trusses — saving labor and time.
The strength of steel
Engineer-approved, AWS-certified welded steel delivers long clear spans and lasting structural integrity.
Open, airy interiors

Bolts to the top & side of posts — post integrated into the roof

I can’t say enough good things about them.
I wanted a hobby shop on a piece of property I bought. I called PAC and the rest was easy. They had great advice and very fair pricing. I live out of state and put my complete trust in the crew. They not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I can’t say enough good things about them. Would highly recommend them.
