Metal Shop Building in Yakima, Washington
Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., supplied this pre-engineered metal shop building in Yakima, Washington, in late June of 2020.
Spacious, sturdy, and structurally sound, the insulated, energy-efficient metal building underwent customization in line with the buyer’s needs and now functions as a shop.
The metal shop has high ceilings that can accommodate car lifts or create additional storage or workspace, and it also has a wide clear span that maximizes usable floor space by eliminating the need for interior support.
Affordable, Customizable Steel Buildings
Easy to customize, erect and maintain, steel shops, garages, storage buildings, and other types of structures have become increasingly popular alternatives to wooden structures in recent years.

This particular metal shop offers superior strength and durability and gives the owner a safe, comfortable, and covered space to use year-round. Situated in south-central Washington, the city of Yakima is part of Yakima County and the Yakima Valley.
