Steel Shelter Materials Offered

We offer 2 styles of steel shelter, an All Steel (AS) and Steel Frame (SF). An All Steel shelter comes with no underside roof decking, just the metal roof onto the rafters. The Steel Frame shelter comes with tongue & groove decking offered in southern yellow pine #2 grade (SYP#2).

Each style above has a variety of roof styles such as standard R-panel or an upgrade to standing seam, or asphalt shingles, cedar shingle that both require SF model. In addition, a standing seam panel roof can also be an upgrade. On the AS shelters, a panel roof is heavier gauge (24 or 26). On the SF shelters, a panel roof is lighter gauge (29)

Although steel park shelters are the most popular option we offer in Florida, we have several customers that prefer Wood Picnic Shelters and Vinyl Picnic Shelters and Gazebos.
