Metal Buildings Built for Nevada
Nevada is really two building markets. In the Las Vegas valley, a metal building's job is shade: protecting cars, RVs and boats from summer heat that cracks dashboards and cooks tires. In northern Nevada, from Reno and Carson City to Elko, buildings need to handle snow, cold and wind.
Omega rates every Nevada building for the loads at your address. Near Lake Tahoe and in the mountains, snow requirements can be very high, so we'll help you confirm the number with your county.
Desert heat in the south, Sierra snow in the north
In southern Nevada, light roof colors and insulation make the biggest difference in how hot a building gets. Summer wind and dust storms still make anchoring important. In northern Nevada, snow and wind are design factors, and sites near the Sierra can have some of the highest snow loads in the West.
Our roof recommendation for Nevada
In Las Vegas, choose a light-colored boxed eave or vertical roof. In Reno, Carson City and the mountains, go vertical.
