15 Dec Project Spotlight: Six-T Malakoff Ranch
They say “everything’s bigger in Texas.” Well, the bigger the space, the more opportunities to use weathering steel, right? The practical benefits of weathering steel coupled with its perfectly-rustic texture and orange-brown color made weathering steel the material of choice for the owners of the ranch located in Malakoff, Texas. Read about 5 ways Six-T Malakoff Ranch used weathering steel below.
Weathering Steel Gate and Signage
At the entrance of the property, a plasma-burned weathering steel gate welcomes visitors. Central Steel Service provided pieces out of 11GA ASTM A606-4 weathering steel sheets as well as ASTM A847 weathering steel tube and bar for the framing of the gate.
Weathering Steel Roofing
While metal roofs provide that soothing hum-drum on a rainy day, they are also longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, more energy-efficient and fire-resistant when compared to other roofing materials. With weathering steel roofing, you get all the benefits of metal roofing, plus the corrosion-resistance and an aesthetically pleasing color of weathering steel’s patina. Central Steel Service provided 22GA ASTM A606-4 corrugated weathering steel sheets and trim pieces for Six-T’s barn roofing.
Weathering Steel Shooting House
Central Steel Service provided cut-to-size 11GA weathering steel sheets and 22GA corrugated sheets, as well as ASTM A847 weathering steel tube and ASTM A588 weathering steel angles and channels for the structure of the ranch’s shooting house pictured below.
Weathering Steel Chicken Coop
Barns and shooting houses are not the only structures that require roofing on a ranch. Central Steel Service also provided ASTM A606-4 22GA corrugated weathering steel sheets and 22GA trim pieces for the roof of the chicken coop.
Weathering Steel Sculptures
Last, but not least, Central Steel Service provided cut-to-size ¼” and 3/16” ASTM A588 weathering steel plates and ¾” ASTM A588 base plates for two sculptures on the ranch.
