Cowboy Country Distillery Building in Pinedale, Wyoming

Founder and master distiller, Tim Trites collaborated with Sunward Steel Buildings to design and manufacture a building that would house his headquarters, distillery and barrel aging room. Upon completion, we incorporated a design that pays tribute to Southwest Wyoming and also acknowledges the beauty of the high desert while complimenting the surreal solitude of the sand and sagebrush state.

Sunward provided a premanufactured steel building kit from our Wedgcor production line to complete this project. Once onsite and erected, the building stands at a stately 50’x 120’x 18’ in size. The canopy of this distillery building rests with a gable frame roof line, a subtle 2:12 pitch; dually purposed and required for a ready and smooth running rickhouse. A personal preference of simplistic sustainability was easily attained as we incorporated (10) 17ft translucent panels into the final wall configuration. Thus achieving a conducive eco-friendly design that allows maximum hours of sunlight into the structure.

Other accommodations and components include (3) 3070 commercial walk doors, (2) 12’W x 14’H overhead doors, (1) 6’W x 7’-2” H walk doors, and (4) 4’W x 5’H windows. One of the benefits of buying a Sunward Steel Building is that the components are prefabricated, cut, welded, and drilled at our facility for easy, on-site assembly.

The final design introduces colorful connotations with simple and yet sophisticated tones that will catch you by surprise. Debuting Sarharah Tan exterior walls and a Burnished Slate trim package, we captured the crimson-tinged earth, and golden dry prairie hues of Southwest Wyoming.
