Steel building kits are designed to be so simple that even customers themselves can erect the buildings. Most steel buildings have common components, such as arched panels. These are single sheet steel panels that can be raised to form the roof as well as the two parallel walls of the building. The length of the building can be extended, simply by adding more arches. Base connectors are used to attach arches and end wall panels to the concrete foundation using anchor bolts. Steel building kits come with a manual that provides a list of all of the components included and a step-by-step analysis of assembling the structure, and with standard sized size bolts for all connections, for easier construction. They also have polyethylene washers for sealing the bolt connections. Doors are generally pre-drilled to fit into the framed openings on the end wall panels. They come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. End wall panels are the walls that fit on either end of the structure. They are designed to simply bolt onto the base connector and the end arch panel. Steel-framed openings are installed into the end walls for doors and windows. Trim kits are used to cover any exposed edges and thus give a clean finish to the wall. Vents are installed into the end walls or roof for allowing the air in the building to circulate and thus prevent excessive dampness due to air condensation. Steel building kits offer many affordable and durable options, and a degree of accuracy such that a do-it-yourself customer can reasonably erect the building without professional help.
