Prefabricated Steel Arch Building in Byers, Colorado
Sunward Steel fabricated a pre-engineered metal arch building for a business in Byers, Colorado, sending the building components to the jobsite in August of 2023.
Designed and customized for use by Applied Plastic Coatings, Inc., which supplies specialty coatings and linings for use in automotive restoration, food processing, manufacturing, chemical processing and other industries, the clear-span arch building boasts open end walls with inner and outer flashing that allow for easy access and optimal ventilation.
Offering 5,010 square feet of open interior space the company can use to house supplies, apply coatings and keep business assets dry and protected from the elements, the building is highly resistant to damage caused by wind, fire, extreme temperatures and other construction hazards. It also features a simple design, leading to a fast, affordable erection process.
The durable, multifunctional steel arch building provides ample space to accommodate the business’s ongoing expansion, allowing it to effectively serve even more clients in and around the north-central Colorado community of Byers. The building is also highly sustainable, reducing the carbon footprint of the coating contractor while boosting the business’s overall efficiency.






Building Specifications
This metal arch building includes a 40’x125.25’ base plate with (55) 20-gauge arches overhead, and both end walls are 40’ and feature inner and outer flashing to protect the building frame and interior from moisture and condensation. Sunward Steel utilized shipping skids when delivering the building to the client, allowing for smooth, stable transport while making it easier for the erection team to unload the building components from the delivery truck.
The arch building, sometimes called a Quonset hut, also meets the wind and snow load requirements in place in Byers, boasting a 110-mph wind rating and a 36-psf roof snow load.
Part of Arapahoe County and Colorado’s Denver – Aurora – Lakewood metropolitan area, the small, unincorporated community of Byers lies roughly 45 miles east of Denver and about 75 miles southeast of Greeley.
