Heritage Barn Framing - CSF 625
Taupo, New Zealand, March 2020
The process
In March 2020 Central Steel Framing constructed a 625m² Heritage Barn in Taupo. The client came to us with their barn concept and together we developed and engineered a custom designed barn. The light gauge steel barn was built using portal frame construction. The manufacturing and installation of the barn was quick. The steel was assembled in the workshop and erected onsite. Only two truckloads were needed to transport the profiles/pre-assembled panels to the site. It only took 24 hours to install the portals and external walls onsite.
