Metal roof and wall panels need dependable framing beneath them. Purlins create attachment points for the panels while helping transfer loads to the building’s primary frame.
Sawyer Metal supplies purlins in Tyler, TX, for residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial metal buildings. With Cees, Zees, eave struts, beams, tubing, angles, and custom punching options available, our team can help you order secondary framing components that correspond with your building plans.
Purlins are not one-size-fits-all components. The correct profile, depth, gauge, length, spacing, and connection pattern depend on the building design and the loads the framing must support. Because custom purlins are manufactured in-house, customers can obtain framing components prepared for their project without relying only on standard stock configurations.
Sawyer Metal helps contractors, fabricators, and property owners review their specifications before ordering.
Bring us your plans, required member sizes, lengths, gauges, quantities, and connection details.

Purlins are horizontal secondary framing members installed between the building’s primary frames. They support the roof panels and help transfer roof loads into the main structural system.
Cee purlins have a C-shaped profile and symmetrical flanges. Zee purlins have a Z-shaped profile that allows adjoining members to overlap at structural frames. The appropriate profile depends on the building’s design and connection requirements.
Yes. Web and flange punching is available for qualifying Cees and Zees. Limited additional holes, sag-rod holes, alternate bolting patterns, and other specified configurations may also be available when the required drawings accompany the order.
Provide the profile, depth, flange dimensions, gauge, length, quantity, finish, and punching pattern shown in your engineered building plans. Connection and lap details should also be included when applicable.
