The Wheatland

The Wheatland is where most contractors start — and where most property owners realize Western is different from every other supplier they've called.

At 30×40 with 12-foot eave heights, this is the building that fits on almost any property and handles almost any job. Park a full-size truck and trailer inside with room to work. Store equipment out of the weather. Set up a welding bay, a woodshop, or a workspace that doesn't require you to duck under the door header.

Everything ships from our manufacturing facility in Wheatland, Wyoming. The trusses are engineered and built in our plant. The steel is roll-formed on our line in the color you choose. The laminated columns are pressed in our shop. When the truck pulls onto your jobsite, every piece came from one source — and one phone call gets you answers on any of it.

This package includes a 14-foot overhead door tall enough for equipment, three Gerkin sliding windows for natural light and airflow, and a walk door for everyday access. The 4/12 roof pitch handles snow loads across the Mountain West, and the 48-inch truss spacing gives you a rock-solid roof structure.

Most contractors quote and build this package in a single season. It's the proof-of-concept building — the one that shows your customer what Western materials look like standing up.

Most jurisdictions in our 11-state service area require a building permit for a 30×40 structure. We provide stamped engineered truss drawings with every order — these are what your local building department needs to issue the permit.

Permit requirements vary by county. Some rural counties in Wyoming and Montana have minimal requirements. Front Range Colorado counties typically require a full permit set including site plan, foundation plan, and engineering. Your contractor or Western account manager can help you understand what your specific county requires.

We engineer to IBC 2024 code with site-specific snow and wind loads calculated for your zip code.

Step 1: Choose your building and request a price. We'll quote your specific package based on your zip code, snow loads, and wind requirements.

Step 2: Finalize your selections — steel colors, door sizes, window count, any upgrades. Your Western account manager walks through every option.

Step 3: We manufacture your trusses, roll your steel, and build your columns. Everything is made to order for your specific building.

Step 4: Delivery. Your materials arrive on a Western truck — GPS-tracked so you know exactly when it's coming. We deliver to jobsites across Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, and Nevada.

Step 5: Your contractor erects the building. With Western materials and engineered drawings, most contractors complete a 30×40 shell in 1-2 weeks.

The Wheatland 30×40 material package starts around $24,000-$28,000 depending on your location, steel gauge, color selections, and site-specific engineering requirements. This includes everything listed in the package — trusses, steel, columns, doors, windows, hardware, and fasteners. Delivery and erection labor are separate.
