Choosing the right steel hall model and design starting points

What is the intended use of the hall? The size, structure, and thermal insulation of the hall can be custom-designed according to your needs. At this stage, it is also worth considering how your needs might change in the future.

Check which permits you need for building the hall. You can get more information from your local municipal building inspector.

Order a soil survey for the site. It will determine what kind of groundworks are needed and the requirements for the hall’s foundations. These surveys are carried out by various engineering firms; it is worth requesting quotes and comparing their scope and experience.

Consider which hall dimensions work best for your intended use. Note that the halls offer clear space all the way to the ridge, allowing you to utilize the space efficiently.

Will the entire hall be for the same purpose, or is there a need to divide it into different sections? For example, part of the hall can be uninsulated while another part is thermally insulated.

Choose the building material based on the intended use. Steel is an ecological and durable material that is 100% recyclable. If necessary, a steel hall can also be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere.

What kind of equipment is needed for the hall? A wide range of equipment is available for steel halls to improve efficiency and comfort, including doors, windows, surface treatments, and special structural features.

Contact Weckman’s experts. Based on your pre-considered requirements and details, an expert can suggest a suitable hall model and advise on equipment. The design process also starts more smoothly when needs have been preliminary considered.

Weckman steel halls are suitable for various purposes and are designed according to the user’s needs. A steel hall is ideal as a warehouse, commercial space, machine shed, workshop, livestock building, stable, or riding arena.
Weckman halls have a fast delivery time.




Steel is an environmentally friendly building material because it is 100% recyclable. A steel hall has a technical service life of at least 50 years, making it a long-term investment.
A hall built from steel elements can easily be converted for a different use or dismantled and resold or re-erected in another location more easily than, for example, a wooden structure.




The hall’s dimensions can be designed according to its purpose. Weckman’s steel purlins allow for long spans, so wide door openings for large machinery can also be placed on the long wall of the hall. If needs change later, the hall can be conveniently modified or extended.
The hall can be designed so that the entire space is usable from floor to ceiling.




A steel hall can be entirely uninsulated (cold) or thermally insulated (warm) – or it can be a combination of both if the intended use requires it.
Erecting the hall is fast because all steel elements are delivered ready for installation and are assembled with screw connections. The installation of wall and roof elements also proceeds quickly, as they come with finished internal and external surfaces. The project is completed with Weckman installation accessories and flashings.




You can choose doors and windows that suit your needs; roof safety products and rainwater systems are also available.
Our steel expertise is second to none. Weckman halls, designed for Northern conditions, have been manufactured for over 50 years. The appropriate quality of the structures is guaranteed by design according to Eurocodes and EN 1090 certified manufacturing.
