Metal buildings in Delano, MN — coordinated by Amsteel Midwest with a Project Advisor serving the Twin Cities metro. Delano is where the west metro meets Wright County farm ground — a river town with top-ranked schools, new neighborhoods on the edges, and working ag land starting at the city line. We coordinate tubular steel, cold formed steel, and red iron buildings for Delano properties: garages, shops, machine sheds, and storage.
Wright County builds in two worlds: city parcels under the state code’s snow-engineering requirements, and farm ground under Minnesota’s agricultural exemption. Which world your parcel lives in changes which system pencils out — and we sort that before anything gets quoted.
Which Type of Metal Building Fits Your Delano Project?
Tubular Steel — Our Most Popular System
Tubular steel is our highest-volume product and the system our Project Advisors know best. At 30’–40′ wide, a properly spec’d tubular building delivers an excellent result at a price point that works for the majority of our buyers, and it remains viable through 60′ wide for agricultural applications — a natural fit where Minnesota’s agricultural exemption applies. Foam closures, rat guard trim, rake edges, and gutter packages can all be added for a clean finished appearance, with headered eave wall openings up to 20′ wide. Site-specific engineering runs approximately $2.00 per square foot when required.
Cold Formed Steel — Finished Buildings, Municipalities, and Barndominiums
Cold formed steel comes standard with foam closure systems, soffit options, upgraded trim packages, rat guard trim, rake edges, gutter packages, and standing seam roof options — properly sealed eaves from the start. It handles clear spans up to 60′ wide at approximately 15′ on center standard column spacing, and site-specific engineering runs approximately $0.75 per square foot — significantly less than tubular when engineering is required. In Minnesota, where snow-load engineering applies to most permitted projects, that difference makes cold formed the frequent total-cost winner for barndominiums, residential shells, finished workshops, and permitted municipal projects.
Red Iron — 60’+ Spans, Large Door Openings, and Commercial Applications
Red iron pre-engineered structural steel is the standard for buildings 60′ wide and above and for commercial or industrial applications requiring door openings wider than 20′. At 25’–30′ on center standard frame spacing, red iron delivers wide open bay configurations for large equipment facilities, commercial buildings, indoor arenas, and grain-country agricultural structures.

What Delano Buyers Are Building
Delano demand splits town and country: garages, finished workshops, and storage for the growth wave, plus machine sheds, hay storage, and equipment buildings on Wright County farms. Permitted enclosed buildings favor cold formed steel’s snow-load engineering cost; agricultural structures are tubular steel’s home turf under the exemption — viable to 60′ wide at the best price; and 60’+ clear spans with wide equipment doors are red iron work.
Permitting in Delano — What You Need to Know
Projects inside Delano city limits permit through the City of Delano under the Minnesota State Building Code, with snow-load-engineered drawings expected on most non-agricultural structures; township ground varies in enforcement, and agricultural buildings are exempt from the state code. We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your specific Delano address and confirm your parcel’s jurisdiction before you finalize.
Amsteel Midwest runs the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your specific project address, provides all engineered drawings and documentation, and advises on your jurisdiction’s requirements before you finalize your design. Installation is coordinated through manufacturer install networks for tubular buildings and referred professional installers for cold formed and red iron projects.

Do I need a permit for a metal building in Delano?
In town, yes — the City of Delano enforces the state code with snow-engineered drawings on most non-ag structures. Township enforcement varies, and agricultural buildings are exempt. We confirm your parcel before you order.
