Sag Rods for Steel Building Systems
Sag rods are a type of tension rod that helps resist sagging or deflection in steel buildings. They help maintain alignment under load and counteract gravitational force, even in long spans. Sag rods for purlins support roof framing by controlling unwanted movement. While they are not load-bearing components on their own, they are a key part of a building's overall structural stability when used as part of a support system. At Fastener Solutions, we distribute sag rod assemblies for the most demanding construction applications.

How Sag Rods Are Used in Steel Construction
Sag rods function as tension components that reduce sagging and lateral movement. They counteract downward deflection and improve performance in long spans or areas where framing members are prone to sagging. Sag rods help keep framing components aligned even under significant wind forces and building movement.
Sag rods are often supplied as assemblies that include threaded rods and hardware like nuts, washers, or turnbuckles, depending on project requirements.
Common Applications for Sag Rods
Sag rod assemblies are widely used in metal and structural steel building systems. Common sag rod applications include:
- Roof purlins
- Wall girts
- Open-web steel joists in steel building systems
How Do Sag Rods Work?
Sag rods are typically installed horizontally or diagonally between framing members. Once tensioned, the rod applies a counteracting force that helps reduce sag and keeps components properly positioned.
Rather than working alone, sag rods are designed to function within a broader structural system, including purlins, girts, and joists. They limit unwanted movement and distribute forces more evenly across the structure.
