About Rack Supported Building

Rack Supported Buildings (also called Clad Rack or Silo Structures) use the racking system itself as the structural framework for the building. Wall and roof panels attach directly to the rack, eliminating the need for a separate building structure. This innovative approach can reduce construction costs by 20-40% and dramatically accelerate project timelines while maximizing cubic storage capacity.
