Building Specifications

Comprised of heavy-duty, sustainable steel components, the steel shop stands 40’x60’x12’ once erect and boasts a broad clear span that maximizes usable floor space. Offering protection from above is a robust, corrosion-resistant steel roof with a 4:12 pitch, and installed within that roof is a 4” layer of fiberglass insulation.

The walls of the shop also hold 4” of fiberglass insulation, and both the roof and wall insulation have durable WMP-VRR facing adhered to the interior facing sides. The facing material gives the inside the metal building a clean, finished look, and it also helps protect the fiberglass insulation blankets against moisture, which keeps them functioning properly.

Additional shop customizations include (8) door and window openings that allow building users, equipment and natural light inside the space. Found throughout the workshop are (2) 3’4”x7’2” walk door framed openings, (4) 10’x10’ overhead door openings, and (2) 6’x6’ window openings.

The steel shop also has several climate and weather-related accommodations. It has a 6” rain gutter in four locations, which helps prevent water from pooling too close to the building’s roof or foundation. It also has a 3.5-psf snow load and a high, 137-mph wind speed rating in consideration of Cottageville’s location within a high-risk hurricane zone.
