The Many Uses of Steel Buildingsof

Steel buildings used to be a synonymous with skyscrapers and big cities, with factory buildings and other industrial uses. Today, however, steel buildings are everywhere and used for so many different things that it’s impossible to enumerate them. Commercially, steel buildings serve as aircraft hangars and boathouses, gymnasiums and recreational facilities, warehouses and commercial storage facilities, retail stores and even restaurants and cafes. In the agricultural belt, you’ll find steel buildings used as barns for animals, riding rings for equestrians, equipment garaging for farms, grain and produce storage, and farm and dairy stores. On a smaller scale, many homeowners choose steel buildings for garages, storage buildings, carports, hobby workshops, home offices and greenhouses.

Historically, some of the most popular styles of steel buildings stem from the Quonset buildings used by the military as dorm and dining facilities on bases and as training centers. The hoop construction of an arch steel building can be erected quickly with minimal equipment. Once up, they stay up for decades, or can be quickly broken down and moved to another location. FEMA and other emergency organizations, in fact, often set up arch steel buildings in various sizes to serve as headquarters, offices, emergency housing and mess halls to help refugees from various natural disasters.

The same thing that makes these buildings the right choice for those emergency and large-scale operations also make them the right choice for your own home or business uses. Steel buildings are fast, easy, portable, flexible and affordable.

Your building will come with detailed construction instructions that are so easy to follow you can easily put one up with one or two friends over a weekend. Maintenance is a breeze – no painting, no treating, no sandblasting – nothing but an annual power washing to remove surface dirt.
