Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400

CARLS CORNER, TX. Willie Nelson announced his latest fuel center that brings cleaner burning fuel to the public this time to a retail station in Carls Corner. Rhino Steel Building Systems was selected to provide the steel building materials- pre-engineered for the specific needs of the new center. The new building is 134′ x 98′ with a rustic wood facade. Biodiesel, a diesel fuel substitute made from soybean oil and other natural fats and vegetable oils, works in any diesel vehicle. It can be used in pure form or blended with petroleum diesel. The most common blend is B20, a mixture of 20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel. Biodiesel fuel can reduce dependency upon foreign oil. This can help struggling Texas farmers find new uses for their crops. According to the Department of Energy, Biodiesel has become Americas fastest growing alternative fuel . Biodiesel and biodiesel blends reduce emissions while offering similar performance to petroleum diesel. Bruce Brown, president of Rhino, stated that Im very happy to have Mr.** End Summary**

Rhino Dispells Steel Building Shipping Myth

Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Rhino Steel Building Systems, Denton, Texas. Many potential customers seeking steel buildings for their farm, commercial, industrial or storage applications spend hours searching for a dealer of metal buildings close to their location. They are thinking that this will save them hundreds of dollars on shipping cost-due to the bulk and weight of an entire steel building package. Bruce Brown, president and CEO of Rhino recommends that, as a steel structure customer, it is important that you comprehend all facets relevant to the delivery of your order, but your pre-engineered steel building can be shipped from a variety of shipping points throughout the continental United States due to our relationship with manufacturing plants in varying locations. Although some metal building providers do ship via their own vehicles, most use a common carrier. Rhino also recommends that a thorough check of all pre-fabricated materials be made during the off-loading process at the customers contruction location. Rhino Steel Building Systems is organized in two division, the Steel Buildings division and Steel frame homes division.** End Summary**

Pre-fabricated Steel Building Trends Changing

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400

RHINO STEEL SYSTEMS, Denton, Texas BUILDING Steel buildings first gained popularity in the industrial sector and subsequently moved to commercial applications, including retail and small manufacturing facilities. Resistance to fire, theft, and longevity are commonly sited in the industry as contributors to this movement. At Rhino Steel Building Systems, we are seeing an almost across the board move to steel building in virtually all construction activities, according to Alton Ginn, senior sales manager at Rhino. All types of storage facilities are going up using our pre-engineered custom steel building packages including personal storage for people with big toys. It seems like adult toys take up more and more space including vintage cars, helicopters, and boats and just about anything that you can name. Bruce Brown, president of Rhino has observed that many off the shelf storage buildings do not fit these types of storage requirements. Since our buildings can be customized to align with virtually any kind of engineering requirement, they are really growing in popularity within the personal storage market, according to Brown. Rhino has also seen growing demand within its Steel Frame Homes Division, thus reinforcing the steel revolution in an otherwise must-build-in wood industry.** End Summary**

Steel Building Structures Vary Widely In Design

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Rhino Steel Building Systems, Denton, Texas - When purchasing a pre-engineered steel building, the basic structural design is one of the first aspects to be determined. While the typical steel building buyer has no idea of what type of steel design structure he will need, this is not a problem, according to Bruce Brown at Rhino Steel Building Systems. The typical parameters that are required to determine the proper structural design include footprint size, price, application, building height and local codes. From there, the building is pre-engineered accordingly. According to Brown, we recently sold a pre-engineered building for a manufacturing facility in Texas. The customer needed a large 200′ x 300′ space with no posts inside that would interfere with all the equipment that would be placed in the plant. This was no problem for us. Our clear span structural packages can span up to with no interior post required. The costs are higher but when free space is required, we can deliver. When lowering cost is a consideration, a minimal number of posts can be included. Heavy snow and wind loads can also affect the decision on steel structural design.** End Summary**

A Specific Purlin Reinforcement Procedure Intended Concerning Steel Structures

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400

For a steel structure that is suitably designed and protected there are a few essential aspects to think about in planning the complete purlin reinforcement process. To counter lateral translation of the whole compilation of purlins and roofing, to hamper rotation and to relieve any twisting or turning, and to put in horizontal flange reinforcement are the objectives. For this design to work right there must be sideways stabilization of both member flanges. By applying bracing, very simply, they should be fastened as to arrest lateral deflection of the two flanges at certain brace spots and the ends. Introducing a mere individual line of sag angles alongside to the top of the purlin flange with sliding connections, a conventional standing-seam steel building roof process, is fixed with this procedure. To hinder purlin rotation under load, the lone line of bracing in this technique is too low. To position purlin bracing as near as possible to the flange that needs to be constrained is vital. Steel building specs where the bracing is further away from the top flange is questionable for supplying the two flanges with sideways deflection protection and damaging rotation of members.** End Summary**

Rhino Dispels Metal Building Insulation Myths

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Rhino Steel Building Systems, Denton, Texas - Many potential buyers of steel buildings believe that they are difficult to insulate from the weather. This is absolutely not true, according to Bruce Brown, president of Rhino Steel Building Systems. We have several effective methods of insulating our pre-engineered buildings, and none greater than our newest insulation package, named the Rhino Pro Value Insulation System. Many of the problems with insulating pre-fabricated Steel Buildings have to do more with errors in installation than anything else. Its true, that the entropy (or temperature migration) of steel is far greater than wood, and if improperly installed, exposed metal purlins and girts can import extreme temperature from outside the building. The Rhino Pro Value package includes the use of insulators and the almost complete filling of the purlin and girt cavities that virtually eliminate temperature transfer. Additionally, a special liner fabric protects from condensation that can plague metal buildings not otherwise protected. We offer other types of insulation that are also effective and can provide helpful installation tips as well, Brown says.** End Summary**
