Garages, Barns and Other Steel Buildings to Love

Most people know that steel buildings make great garages and barns, but those aren’t the only uses for a well-built and attractive metal building. From factory buildings to metal shops, from retail stores to houses, the uses of steel buildings are virtually limitless. These are just a few of the unexpected uses for steel buildings from real customers of companies that sell steel and metal buildings.

Pool Housing

Fancy a cover over your in-ground or above-ground swimming pool? A steel-framed building or large carport can provide the shade or cover that you need to make your swimming pool comfortable for use in all types of weather. You can even have a custom steel building created with skylights and roll-back ceilings to open the building to the sky. The beauty of steel buildings is that almost anything can be customized to meet your needs.

Boat Storage

Garages aren’t built to house boats, but steel buildings can fit the bill admirable. The clear span or arch frame construction of a metal building gives you plenty of space to maneuver a boat into place and provides the ideal framework for shelves, racks and hooks to hand sculls and shells. A steel building is a low-cost alternative to a wood-frame building that requires far more maintenance and isn’t as secure.

Man Caves and Entertaining

No room in the house for the man cave? Build one outside the house. When you build a man cave from scratch, you’re not restricted by the structural issues in the house – you don’t have to build around support posts and columns in your basement, for example. You can set up a home theater with no bad seats or create your dream wood workshop or design a building that’s perfect for anything you want to do in it. Steel buildings are eminently customizable and can be wired for electricity so you can have your big screen television, your refrigerator and your power tools.

Conservatories

Building a conservatory onto your house can be prohibitively expensive. It often involves removing support posts to open exterior walls to a glassed in room. Custom-engineered steel buildings can provide an affordable alternative – a free-standing conservatory that provides your family with a lovely space for entertaining and socializing with each other.

Steel buildings have many uses beyond garages, barns and storage. Whatever your building needs, a properly designed, custom-engineered steel building can be the perfect, affordable solution for them.
