Steel Buildings for Fun and Profit

What’s the most versatile type of building construction available today to both home and business owners? Steel buildings are affordable, versatile, environmentally friendly and easily available across the country. From small 8 x 10 storage sheds and one-car garages to retail stores, factories and warehouses, steel buildings offer the ideal solution to nearly any housing or storage problem. What can you do with a metal building? Here are a few favorite uses for steel buildings that encompass the fun and profit aspect.

Hobby Workshops

Hobbies can be both fun and profitable, but they don’t always fit comfortably into your home. Whether you want a photographic studio and darkroom, a pottery workshop, a wood shop or an auto shop, a steel building provides the perfect frame that you can outfit any way you want. Far more affordable than building an addition or other type of separate structure, a steel building may even be more affordable than renovating your basement or garage to suit your needs.

Home Offices

For the small business professional – real estate agent, doctor, counselor or massage therapist, to name just a few – a home office means independence from high office rents and fees. An office in your living room or off your kitchen can feel unprofessional, and building a separate entrance can involve far more expense than you expected. A small steel building outfitted as an office provides you a place to work undisturbed and gives you the professional image you need to project.

Inventory Storage

Big stores and factories aren’t the only ones who can use inventory storage. Many small independent sales consultants maintain a fairly large inventory of samples and items for sale so that they can fill orders quickly. Storing them in your home can be tricky – among other things, insurance may not cover your business inventory in case of fire, theft or other damage. A small, 8 x 10 steel building can provide plenty of room for storage out of harm’s way, and can be separately insured to cover all of your inventory and business supplies. As an added advantage, as long as you only use your shed to store business-related items, you can deduct the insurance, taxes and related expenses as a business expense.

If you need more room on your property, a steel building could provide the perfect solution. For more information about the advantages of choosing steel buildings for your business and fun uses, contact a manufacturer of metal buildings and discuss your needs.
