A conversation with Jodi, not a call center.National Sales Director, Legacy Steel Buildings
Iowa · Nebraska
- Site-specific planning
- Ask what wind-design requirements apply to your actual building site.
- 30-year warranty
- Rust-through coverage. Ask for written terms, conditions and exclusions.
- Your budget in mind
- Compare building options and clarify the total project scope before ordering.
Strength starts with the right questions
More than a number
in an advertisement.
Buying a new farm building, garage, workshop or equipment-storage building in Iowa or Nebraska? Use your site and the way you will use the building to guide the discussion, rather than comparing advertised wind speeds alone.
- Location and exposure. Share the site address and whether the building will sit on open land or near other structures. Ask which site conditions the design needs to account for.
- Doors and openings. Discuss large equipment doors, open ends and other openings before choosing a package. Ask how the intended layout fits the building design.
- Foundation and installation. Confirm who is responsible for the foundation design, anchoring, connections and installation. Ask which instructions and engineering documents come with the building.
No building should be described as tornado-proof or storm-proof. A steel building is not automatically a designated storm shelter. Confirm project-specific engineering and local requirements before ordering.
Quonset & straightwall options
Rounded arch.
Straight walls.
A plan that fits.
Compare Q Series Quonset buildings with S and P Series straightwall options. Consider equipment clearance, usable wall space and door placement alongside the applicable design requirements. Jodi can help you discuss the choices without assuming every site needs the same building.
- Q Series
- Classic rounded arch
- S Series
- Straight walls, curved roof
- P Series
- Straight walls, pitched roof
- A Series
- Peaked-roof option
A clearer path to your building
Know your options.
Know your next steps.
You do not need to arrive with a finished plan. Start with your questions and work through the buying decisions with Jodi.
Describe your project
Share your location, intended use, approximate dimensions and budget. Include the height and width of equipment that needs to fit.
Compare the right options
Talk through Quonset and straightwall profiles, usable space, openings and local design requirements. Ask what changes the building price.
Review before you order
Request an itemized written quote. Confirm what is included, who handles each part of the project and what happens after purchase.
What affects the price?
Building dimensions, design requirements, wall and roof profile, doors and other openings, and delivery can change your quote. Compare packages with the same scope, not just the headline price.
Plan beyond the building kit
Ask whether engineering, permits, site preparation, foundations, unloading and installation are included or separately arranged. Confirm the applicable warranty terms and delivery timing in writing.
Jodi helps you navigate building choices. Do not assume a kit quote includes turnkey construction, permit handling or installation. Clarify the responsibilities for your specific project.

More about Jodi →Bring what you know
A useful first conversation.
No finished plan required.
Where will it stand?
Bring the town, ZIP code and site address. Note surrounding buildings, open land and any requirements you have already received.
How will you use it?
Describe equipment sizes, access needs and whether you want enclosed space or an open-ended layout.
What is your project plan?
Share your budget and timing. Ask what belongs in the building quote and which site and construction costs need separate planning.
Useful questions
Clear answers.
Before you commit.
Start here, then talk through the specifics of your building with Jodi.
Do not assume one wind rating applies to every site. Confirm the requirements for your location, intended use and building design with your local building department and the responsible design professional. Ask for the applicable engineering documents before ordering.
No. Do not treat a Quonset or straightwall building as tornado-proof or assume it is a designated storm shelter. Discuss the applicable design requirements for the specific building, and follow local emergency guidance during severe weather.
They are details to resolve as part of the complete building design and installation plan. Tell Jodi about the access you need, then confirm the required doors, connections, foundation and anchoring with the responsible professionals before ordering.
Yes. The S Series combines straight walls with a curved roof, while the P Series combines straight walls with a pitched roof. The Q Series has the classic rounded arch. Ask Jodi to compare the layouts for your equipment, intended use and budget.
The Galvalume steel has a 30-year rust-through warranty. Ask Jodi for the written terms, conditions and exclusions that apply to your building. Do not assume this covers storm damage, leaks or installation workmanship.
Do not assume they are included. Request a written quote that identifies the building materials and any included services, then confirm who handles engineering, permits, site work, foundations, unloading and installation.
Your site. Your building. Your next step.
