Metal garage kit end walls

The end walls are attached to the steel building after you have securely erected all of the arches to form the structure. They must be fastened to the building’s cement foundation with the supplied base plates to form the final opening size and profile. The curve angles must also be secured. Metal Building Kings end walls are pre-engineered steel designs certified to withstand hurricane force winds.

Solid end walls
Solid end wall components come with your metal garage kit which are usually installed on the back end of your steel building. However some steel buildings are used as covers in which case customers want to have an opening on both ends. Foam strips are applied between the curve angles on the outer edges of the end walls before the panels are attached.
