If you’re considering adding a storage building to your property, there are many reasons for choosing from the many different types of steel buildings available. Whether you’re looking for a garden shed or a place to store your out of season pool or yard equipment, steel buildings are often a better alternative than other traditional structures. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider a steel building for your needs.
Affordability
Steel is one of the most affordable building materials available today. A metal building, when you count in all the expenses, will usually cost less to buy and erect than any other type of building.
Style
Forget everything you’ve heard about “ugly” steel buildings. Today’s metal buildings come in many different styles and colors, and can exactly match your home and environment.
Low Maintenance
Once they’re up, buildings made of steel require almost no maintenance other than regular exterior cleaning.
Easy to Build
Most smaller steel buildings are so easy to put together that they’re often sold as DIY kits that you can assemble with the help of a few friends.
Durability
The typical steel building will still be standing in 30 years – and looking close to new. And because metal buildings are precision engineered to meet all local building codes, they’ll withstand weather events that easily destroy wood sheds.
Environmentally Friendly
Most buildings are made of 100% recycled steel, so they use no new non-renewable resources. At the end of their useful life, they can be disassembled and recycled again.
Versatility
From home offices to garden sheds, a basic steel building can take on nearly any role. Because most of them have clear span interiors, it’s easy to reconfigure your floor plan to fit whatever use you need.
Custom Design
Many manufacturers will custom design and engineer your building to exactly suit your needs. The design can include channels and pre-drilled openings for wiring, plumbing and any other customizations you want to add.
Safety
Metal is fire resistant, and most metal buildings are coated with fire retardants to make them further resistant to fire. In addition, steel buildings are also resistant to rot, insect infestation and mold.
Lower Insurance Premiums
Insurance companies base their premiums on risks and dangers. Because steel buildings are resistant to so many dangers that can destroy a wooden structure, your insurance premiums for a steel building will be lower than the premiums on a similarly sized wooden building.
