Everybody needs storage space. Whether you’re a woodworker, a shade tree mechanic, or just a homeowner trying to keep all the lawn equipment out of the weather, there never seems to be enough space for everything you want to keep out of the weather. Fortunately, pre-engineered metal buildings offer a great solution to this problem, and they do that with some great features that aren’t available with other construction types. Here are five reasons why a metal storage building is just what you need.
1- Unmatched Durability
Nothing is more important than having a strong building. Metal buildings are built with strong metal frames and tough exterior sheet metal coverings that are fastened firmly together to withstand even the most demanding use. Each component is resistant to extreme temperatures as well. On top of that, they are specifically engineered from the ground up to weather the extremes of your climate. You can expect to get at least ten years of worry-free service out of your metal building.
2- Versatile Layouts
A building is no good if it looks more spacious from the outside than it does from the inside. Wood-frame buildings always seem to have a brace, a joist, or a post in just the wrong space, making it difficult to situate everything inside your building and creating a hazard when parking vehicles or mowers inside. Metal buildings are clear-span, meaning there is no intrusion into the storage space from structural components – just wide-open space.
3- Affordable Planning
When you have a building constructed with a wood frame or other materials, there’s a complex planning process that requires the input of architects and other highly paid-experts. These services add lots of dollars to your purchase price before you even build anything. Metal buildings are pre-engineered so that all those costs are avoided. This lets the planning stages of your building go much faster and much cheaper.
4- Many Size Options
Although pre-engineered metal buildings are well past the planning stages when you order, you can still go with any number of sizes for your building. It’s much easier to make the building fit the space than to make the space fit the building. You can come up with a size that fits the available space without encroaching on property lines, crowding your house, or otherwise getting in the way. Your building is supposed to make your life easier, so choose a structure that will be a perfect fit for the site you choose.
5- The Right Color for You
It does no good to declutter your garage or basement with a metal building when it doesn’t match your house or other structures. A mismatched building is just an eyesore, and that’s why it’s so much better to go with a metal building that has a wide variety of color options to suit your needs. The sheet metal also has a tough, baked-on finish that will withstand harsh conditions, and no painting is ever required.
If you are looking for a storage solution that will last for years, you should consider a metal storage building because of all the many advantages it offers.
