Building for Colorado Springs altitude and wind

Colorado Springs sits at 6,035 feet. Higher than Denver. Same altitude rules apply, but more so. Propane regulators, refrigeration sizing, hood CFM all get re-spec for thinner air. We have done enough builds at this elevation that the calculations are baked in.

The other Colorado Springs factor is wind. Front Range gusts off the foothills can hit 60+ mph. Awnings, fold-out service windows, and lightweight equipment mounts all need to be wind-rated. We design for it.

El Paso County Public Health licensing

El Paso County Public Health is your inspection authority, not DDPHE. They run a tighter timeline than Denver and they want plan review documentation before they will schedule an inspection. We pre-build to their specs.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a custom build take?
Six to eight weeks. We are 30 miles up US-24 in Woodland Park. Same-day delivery to Colorado Springs.

Do you build for AFA tailgates and military base events?
Yes. We have built rigs for Air Force Academy and Fort Carson contracts.

Are altitude considerations different from Denver?
Mostly the same with one tweak. Less precipitation but more sustained wind. We add wind bracing as standard.
