Metal Buildings Built for Nebraska
Nebraska is corn and cattle country, and both run on big, durable buildings. East of Grand Island, it's row crops, center pivots and the equipment that goes with them. Out west and in the Sandhills, it's ranching, hay and livestock shelter.
Wind shapes every Nebraska building. Open terrain means steady wind year-round, summer storms bring hail and straight-line gusts, and winter wind turns snowfall into drifts. Omega rates each Nebraska building for the wind and snow loads at your exact address.
Prairie wind, hail and winter drifts
Wind is the main design factor across Nebraska, so anchoring and bracing come first. Summer storms bring hail, which steel roof panels handle better than many alternatives. In winter, blowing snow drifts against walls and doors, so the building's orientation on your site matters as much as its size.
Our roof recommendation for Nebraska
Go vertical. It sheds snow and holds up best in wind.

Put your big doors on the side away from the prevailing winter wind. You'll spend a lot less time shoveling drifts out of the doorway.
