Metal Buildings in Deer Park, WA: PEMB Shops, Garages & Commercial Steel

Pre-engineered metal buildings in Deer Park, WA, designed for north Spokane County's heavier snow. Raven Buildings supplies and erects red-iron PEMB shops, garages, equipment buildings and commercial steel in the City of Deer Park and nearby Clayton, Loon Lake and Chattaroy, with the slab and footings poured by our own concrete crew.

Steel buildings we put up around Deer Park

• Shops and garages: clear-span red-iron frames with roll-up doors, walk doors and windows where you want them
• Equipment and RV storage: tall sidewalls and wide doors for tractors, trailers and motorhomes
• Ag and commercial buildings: warehouses, contractor shops and farm buildings
• Slab and foundation: footings, anchor bolts and the shop floor from the same contractor

Built for Deer Park's design loads

The City of Deer Park's building code (Deer Park Municipal Code 15.04.010) lists these local design criteria:

• Ground snow load: 56 to 65 lbs per sq ft, using the Spokane County Ground Snow Load Map for the exact value
• Nonresidential roofs: at least 45 lbs per sq ft roof snow load, or more if the building official requires it
• Frostline depth: 36 inches
• Wind: 110 mph gust

For comparison, Spokane County's base ground snow load is 39 psf and footings in the Spokane basin go at least 24 inches deep. A PEMB is engineered for the loads you give the manufacturer, so every Deer Park building we quote is designed to your parcel's snow load, and its column footings go below the 36-inch frost line.

Faster steel, from whoever can deliver first

Raven isn't tied to one metal building manufacturer. We source each building from whichever manufacturer can deliver the engineered package fastest, which helps when you're trying to get a shop dried in before the snow. Our PEMB lead time guide walks through a realistic timeline from quote to keys.
