The Kids Are All Right in Steel Buildings

Back in the 1970s, a whole new genre of rock groups emerged from the garages of suburban homes and blasted their way into bars and house parties. Before they got their first gigs playing at local high school dances and live music bars, musical groups like Aerosmith and Boston rocked it out in their parent’s garages – and probably drove the neighbors nuts. These days, your kids don’t have to take over your garage to practice their licks if you have a steel building on the premises. In fact, steel buildings are the ideal solution to a many more problems than your kids practicing their beats too close to the kitchen.
Music Studios in Steel Buildings
Putting up a metal building to support your kids’ musical ambitions isn’t as extreme as it may seem. In fact, small steel buildings – about the size of one or two-car garages – are quite affordable, even when you add soundproofing and/or acoustical tiles into the mix. In fact, the design of steel buildings provides a great deal of flexibility and interior room. You can even build in a stage and lighting so everyone on the crew can practice their part. Add a garage door and the band can easily back a van up to load it for gigs. Best of all, if – or when – the kids run out of enthusiasm for their rock careers or move out of the house to go to college, you’ll have an awesome steel building that you can turn into a media room, man cave or hobby shop.
Speaking of Hobby Shops
Rock band isn’t the only hobby that’s best practiced at a distance from the house. Metal buildings are also the ideal home for all your woodworking tools. You can finally get the table saw out of the basement and leave it set up, and you won’t have to listen to complaints about the whine of the drill and the banging of the hammer. There are even better reasons for moving your auto or machine workshop out of the house, not the least of which is safety. And if you want a lovely studio for pottery, yoga or photography, you can’t beat a steel building.
Beyond the Empty Nest
Of course, you may find yourself with kids returning to the nest. It’s not easy having an adult kid move back home, but a steel building can be retrofitted yet again to create an awesome little studio apartment that will allow both of you your privacy.
Steel buildings are among the most versatile types of structures on the market. Whether you’re looking for a new workshop for yourself or something a little more esoteric, talk to a professional steel building supplier to find out how perfect a metal building would be for your needs.
