Steel Buildings for Residential Applications

No matter how big your home is, there’s a good possibility that eventually, you’re going to run out of space. It may be because you want a room of your own, or because you need room to store things you only use a few times a year. You may want space to enjoy a hobby, or a separate room for a grown child returning to the nest. No matter why you need more space in your home, though, steel buildings offer many advantages over building an addition onto you home, or to traditional brick or wood construction. These are just a few examples of ways to use steel buildings to add room to your living space.

No matter how organized you are, there’s only so much space to store your stuff. If you’ve got more stuff than you’ve got space, a steel storage building is an ideal solution to your dilemma. Steel buildings are available in a huge range of sizes, from 10 to 80 feet wide and any length you choose. If you choose a straight-sided Quonset building, you’ll have plenty of wall space to mount shelves, and lots of floor space for storing furniture and other belongings that don’t fit on shelves.

Creative, crafty people often build collections of craft equipment and supplies relating to their favorite hobbies. That unfortunately often leads to major clutter, especially in modern homes with little space for hobby rooms. If you attempt to avoid the clutter by storing things out of sight in closets and bins, you may find your creativity stifled by the need to pull things out and unpack everything before you can ever start work. Steel buildings to the rescue again. Creating a separate space for your hobby or crafting allows you to set up your equipment and have it ready whenever you have the urge to work. Add wiring, lighting and insulation, and you’ll have the ideal retreat for the woodworker, pottery buff or home sewer.

Garages are meant to be a place to store your automobile, but if you’re like many homeowners, your garage has no room for your car. If your garage has been taken over by the summer furniture, the riding mower, the snow blower and other lawn and garden equipment, consider putting up a separate metal building to hold all of your gardening supplies. In many cities, you don’t even need to file a building permit to put up a small Quonset style steel building, making it a quick and easy solution to garage takeover.

Laundry and Mud Room

Why cramp your style with a tiny space for your washing machine and dryer when you can put up a steel utility building to hold them? Add a utility sink and potting bench and build in a small grow room at the back and you’ll have an all-purpose utility room to keep your all of your outdoor and laundry tasks together in one place.

Steel buildings offer a world of solutions for most household needs. If you’re considering an addition to your house, take a look at the many ways that metal buildings can be useful to you.
