What people build in Show Low
Mountain lots and open acreage, with the roof pitch deciding more than people expect.
Shops & garages
Unfinished and under sixty feet wide, tubular steel is usually the answer, insulated or not.
RV & boat storage
Settle the door before the footprint. Every two feet of eave above twelve adds roughly five percent to the frame.
Barns & hay
Barns and hay storage go up on the acreage around town. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.

Permitting metal buildings in Show Low
The city’s standards
- Roof snow is 30 psf at a 4/12 pitch or steeper, and 35 psf below that.
- Footings go 18 inches below grade, and wind design is 90 mph.
Code editions
- The city is on the 2018 building codes.
- When it adopts a new edition, either edition can be used for twelve months, but not mixed in one design.
Fire code
- Fire code questions go to Timber Mesa Fire & Medical District, (928) 537-5100.
Here the roof pitch sets the snow load. Most metal buildings are pitched below 4/12, so they’re designed to 35 psf. A steeper roof drops it to 30 psf but adds steel and sheeting of its own. We’ll price both and tell you which comes out ahead.
We also serve Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor and Heber-Overgaard. See Flagstaff & northern Arizona or all of Arizona.
