B U t l e r® s e l f - s t o r a g eDESIGN AND SPECIFICATION GUIDE FOR LOW PITCH ROOFS

It’s easy to recognize why a Butler®

building system is such an ideal choice

for self-storage applications. It offers

design flexibility, fast construction,

superior performance, and low-

maintenance—all provided by a

reputable local Butler Builder®.

The photographs included in this guide

demonstrate the options available for

a Butler Self-Storage building system.

Also included are descriptions of the

building components, as well as other

options that may be considered. If you

have any questions, please contact your

Butler Builder.

When there is a change in foundation

grade, building steps will be required. For

steps 12" or less, the step trim color will

be determined by the rake trim color and

the starter strip color will be determined

by the roof color. For steps greater than

12", additional rake trim and A-Type panel

will be included at step. The starter strip

color will be determined by roof color.

Contact a Butler Regional Manager if you

have any questions about building steps.
