Steel Buildings for Storage and More

Steel buildings are the hero in more than one homeowner’s tale of woe. With the right metal building, you can save Christmas, put away summer for later and hold onto memories for your daughter while she’s away at college.  Really.

If you own a house, you know that there is one thing you never have enough of – storage space. A full attic, a full basement and the rafters in your garage fill up an awful lot faster than you’d ever expect, leaving you trying to figure out where to put the patio furniture, the lawnmower, the Christmas ornaments and the bedroom set your daughter wants when she finally gets her own apartment. That’s where steel buildings come in handy. Attractive and functional, a high quality steel building provides additional storage space for the things that won’t fit down in your basement or up in your attic. Why choose steel buildings over other types of storage structures?

Convenience

One solution to your storage dilemma is to rent a storage locker or storage building in one of those U-store-it facilities that seem to be popping up everywhere. While renting storage space may seem like an economical choice, the cost can run up into the thousands of dollars over time – and that’s not counting the cost of running out to the storage unit whenever you need to store or retrieve something. When you erect a storage unit on your own property, you don’t have ongoing monthly rental costs and you have easy access to all of your belongings 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Appearance

Put aside everything you’ve heard about ugly steel buildings. Steel storage buildings for residential properties are a whole different animal than the cookie cutter storage units you see springing up like mushrooms. Today’s metal buildings are available in colors that match that most popular colors for houses and garages so they’ll fit right in with the other structures on your property, and they come in styles with peaked roofs, eaves, gutters and gables so that you can create a seamless match with your other buildings.

Low Maintenance

Once you erect your new storage building, you won’t have to think about maintenance for years. Aside from regularly inspecting it for damage, your biggest maintenance task will be hosing down the exterior a few times a year to remove dust and dirt. You won’t need to repaint for years, if ever, and your steel building will be impervious to rot, mold, mildew and termites.
