Stick Frame Buildings For Northwest Arkansas
The Top Expert Metal Building Company
What is a "Stick Frame" Building?
Don't settle for the home of your dreams.
Also known as stud wall construction, conventional stick frame buildings are a great choice if you want a metal building home or if you require an apartment within the building. This type of structure is a hybrid of a new home building where economical metal panels are used for the exterior walls and roof. Interior partition walls are also available, as needed.
This is a particularly great option when erecting a building on difficult terrain or steep slopes using a block foundation. Stick frame buildings are also a popular choice if you plan to finish the interior of the building.
Stick Frame Construction Process
If you plan on living inside the building, then the stick frame is the way to go. This type of building can be built on a concrete slab, or it can be erected on a block foundation. There is no wood going into the ground, which is one of the many reasons why people choose this type of building.
Insulation can be used for the walls and roof. If you're going to use the space as your living area or office, you may also want to add a layer of fiberglass batts insulation. When it comes to the trim and aesthetics, we use only the best materials, installed by the most experienced construction team in Arkansas. Our team aims to give you an overall look that portrays high-quality.
Lean-To/Porch Styles
The Three Styles of Lean-To/Porches That We Offer Are:
- Monitor Style – This style is sometimes referred to as the Kentucky horse barn. The higher side of the lean-to is about 18-24” below the eave of the main building. The break in the roof line that is created by this allows the lean-to/porch to be lower on the building's side.
- Classic Style – This is where the higher side of the porch and the eave of the main structure are the same height. This style typically has a 4:12 roof pitch for the main building and 2:12 for the lean-to/porch, which adds an overall classic flair of the 1930s American farm to the design. The break in the roof line is also very pleasing from an architectural point of view. Please note, the image below of a classic style is a 5:12 roof pitch on the main building to a 3:12 roof pitch on the lean-to.
- Nuevo Style – In this modern twist to a style that has been around for a long time, the main structure, and the lean-to/porch both have the same roof line. This gives a continuous streamlined roof, and it typically allows for the main building and the lean-to/porch to be covered by one panel.
