Why Choose a Metal Building
- Open Interior: Wide-span framing means no posts inside, so you can lay the space out your way.
- Engineered for Your Area: Buildings are engineered to your local wind and snow loads. See wind and snow load info and engineered drawings.
- Fast, Predictable Build: Pre-engineered parts go up faster than a conventional building.
- Room to Grow: Add bays, doors and insulation as your business or hobby grows.

GET LOCAL PRICEFrequently Asked Questions
Do metal buildings require a permit?
In most cases, yes, though requirements vary by county and city. Our team can help explain what is commonly required in your area. See local building code.
What size workshop do I need?
Add up the vehicles, equipment, benches and storage you want, then add working room around them. Many customers choose one size larger than their first plan.
Can I get engineered drawings?
Yes. Standard plans come with every purchase, and engineered or stamped drawings are available when your area requires them. See engineered drawings.
Can I insulate a metal building?
Yes. There are several insulation types, and each suits a different use. See our guides on garage insulation and the three types of insulation.
