Types of Steel Buildings

Steel buildings are among the most popular choice for homeowners and small business owners who want to add storage, garages, barns and retail space. They range in size from small garden shed size storage buildings to metal buildings large enough to house airplanes. They can be used as office space, storage space, retail space and even residential space. Whatever your needs, you can find a steel building style and plan that will fit them perfectly. These are just some of the most popular applications for steel buildings.
Garages
Why leave your most valuable possession out where the rain, snow and thieves can get to it? Steel garages can be designed to meet your needs, for a single car, two cars or more. You can build in additional storage space, or even add an entire workshop if you have the space. Many manufacturers offer protective coatings in the most common residential colors so that your new steel building will fit right in with other buildings on your property.
Barns
Farmers were among the first to recognize the benefits of steel buildings, and they continue to adopt steel barns, storage silos and other agricultural buildings at a high rate. That’s because steel buildings are nearly always the most affordable construction option. They’re easy to erect, easy enough for many farmers to do the erection themselves. It’s easy to customize metal buildings for your use, adding stalls, tack rooms, feed storage and anything else you need to make your life easier.
Home Offices
As more and more professionals choose to work from home, they’re finding that traditional steel buildings are the ideal option for separate home offices. A metal building is easy to outfit with electricity and insulation, and allows accountants, therapists, real estate agents and other mobile professionals to easily separate their family and work lives without incurring monthly rents and long commute times.
Custom Home Workshops
Whether it’s for a hobby or a business, a metal building is an ideal structure to house a home workshop. Metal buildings are perfect for woodworking shops, metal shops and auto shops, as well as pottery and ceramic works, sewing workshops and other handcrafts.
Storage Buildings
Of course, steel buildings are and always have been an ideal solution to limited storage space at home. From Quonset buildings to metal buildings with pitched roofs and straight walls, there’s a style to suit every neighborhood and property.
Whatever your needs are for space and utility, steel buildings have you covered. Check with a manufacturer to learn more about how a metal building can be adapted for your use.
