The softer side of metal

Beginning in 1994, METALCON started a tradition

of erecting a Steel Structure to display to attendees

and exhibitors during the show.

Every year, each structure has been donated

to various organizations, including Habitat

for Humanity, (name of women’s shelter?).

Over the years, we’ve had a variety of different people who’ve helped to make this steel home a reality, including experts in Steel Framing, students from various Universities all over the country, and even those who had never built with steel before in their lives, but learned to do so through the help of STUD University, a 3-day program offered at METALCON covering the basics of framing with cold-formed steel as well as the latest advancements in Steel framing

Homes for our troops

In 2006, METALCON teamed up with a Taunton, Massachusetts based non-profitOrganization that helps injured service men and women and their immediate familiesBy raising donations of money, building materials, and professional labor while Coordinating the process of building a new home or adapting an existing one to be Handicap accessible.

At METALCON International 2006 in Tampa, the METALCON ADA compliant Steel home was Donated to SSG Paul Russ Marek.

His house is in the process of being constructed in Melbourne, Florida

Russ was severely injured by

an explosive device when he

was serving in Iraq in September

of 2005. The entire right half

of his body was badly burned

and he lost his right ear, arm

and leg.

In 2007 in Las Vegas, 23-year old Marine Corps Cpl. Evan Morgan was the recipient of the METALCON Steel home. Evan was seriously injured while on duty in 2005 when he was hit by an improvised explosive device

As a result of this injury, he lost his left leg below the knee, his right leg above the knee and vision in his right eye. After more than a year in physical rehabilitation, he is home with his wife Jillian and 3-month old daughter Sophie.

He was refitted with a prosthesis, re-learned how to walk, as well as swim and bike, and has since participated in several triathalons through the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

In 2008 at METALCON in Baltimore, MD, U.S. Army Specialist David Battle was the recipient of the steel home. David was severely injured in December 2007 while serving in Iraq.
